: : Hi
: : I just watched My Own Private Idaho. I really enjoy that filmno matter how often I see it but I may be biased because Im a big River Phoenix fan. Id love to know what you guys thought about it.
: ---I just watched that again last week.....
: I remeber loving the hell out of that film when it first came out......
: And I hadn't seen it in years (I been waiting for the DVD release)....
: It has such a brilliant opening and closing.....I love that a Pogues song ends the movie.....
: but ultimately the movie is soooooo affected....the Shakespearean stuff feels clumsy........Flea is the most annoying actor on the planet......Keanu is.....well....Keanu.
: The film coulda used more Rivers Edge Keanu than Point (whoah!) Break Keanu
: At times the film maddeningly misses the mark...
: It's half genius.....and half unbearable...
: Which is better than 99% of whats out there
agree with the keanu thing. dont get me wrong...I love the man but it would be interesting to find out how many of his movies he says 'woah' in.
But Flea did make me laugh
