It's hard to like pieces with uniformly unlikeable characters. That's why I could never get into Seinfeld.
But I kinda liked Burn After Reading. Not that I'd ever watch it again, or that it was great. But it had more of a Coen Brothers feel than their previous Oscar winning mainstreamer (which I liked), so I was glad to see a return to that. Not nearly one of their best or anything, but I appreciated it for what it was.
The more I think about Slumdog, the more I think was an overpraised, overhyped, undeserving Best Picture winner.
Gemini Cricket has his Crash, and I have Slumdog. Pfft.
