When I wrote this I was surrounded by a lot of voices who hated when a band “sold out.” And I can’t deny that there is often a change when a band becomes successful. But i think often people dislike things BECAUSE they’ve become popular, before giving it a fair shake.
Meh. Maybe they’re right. :)
Yup. I did sit through Blood Simple. And, not surprisingly, it was lovely. But at times so painful to watch.
For ME, that is. But I have a pretty low tolerance for cruelty/pain/torture/gore/horror in movies.
I find that it’s easy for unhappy people to explain their unhappiness by the awfulness of all other people. I’ve never liked that. And yes, I’ve been guilty.
As any troubleshooter knows, to figure out what the problem is, one simply eliminates all the POTENTIAL problems, until it works again.
Not always the best or wisest tact in real life.
