how exactly?

i really liked it. amazing imagery and great storyline. one of van sants best along with drugstore cowboy.

Drugstore Cowboy was great, along with most of his other stuff. But MOPI was so bloody boring, and most of the dialogue sounded extremely forced and unnatural. I felt nothing through the whole thing, and could have turned it off at any point and not wondered what happened through the rest of the film.

I agree. I mean, I guess she did fall in love with him as a beast, but still, the true happy ending of the movie was that he didn't have to be ugly anymore. Personally, I would want to stay as the beast. I mean, if you already have the girl, who cares if you look good anyway, and then you get to be a cool beast also.

The only reason I didn't had nothing to do with interest in the plot, but instead the fact that a friend recommended it, and I needed to see the whole thing so I could tell him it was crap. If I only saw half of it, my argument wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

Yeh, i really think he should of stayed as a beast. Its what she fell in love with, it really wasnt needed that he turn into a hunky model. He learnt to accept what he looked like and she learnt that its whats on the inside that counts. I bet in beautys head at the end she said "thank fuck for that"

maybe you just got paranoid that your friend is trying to send you invisible signals that he wants to kiss you?

I've got a feeling people in Idaho are feeling quite good today. Private or not...

I totally agree. Still though, it is possible for an actor to ruin a movie, especially when -in my opinion- the story isn't that interesting in the first place.

*door rings

Bigchested Blonde: "Hello?"
Bearded Dude: "I came to repair your refridgerator"
Bigchested Blonde: "But it's running"

*bearded dude enters room
*bigchested girl lifts shirt
*sexual interaction starts

Now that's a movie!

well, no. tom cruise is the worst actor ever. keanu's range is limited and he's often miscast-- as a british XIX-century "doood" in "dracula"? preposterous! however, he was born to play bill, from bill & ted's excellent adventure, yes? in fact i do believe him to BE bill. but anyway, he was ok in my own private idaho, he was ok in johnny mnemonic, he was adequate in constantine as well. in the matrix, well, he sucked big, but the whole "trilogy" sucked diseased anus... the 1st one was ok though.

afterthefact · 01.02.2007, 05:20 PM

no, worst actor ever is (drum roll, please):

Paul Walker!

The dialogue is based on Shakespeare's Henry IV.
Drugstore Cowboy is definitely Van Sant's best. It's in my top 30-40 or so.
My Own Private Idaho probably is his second best movie, but that's by virtue of Phoenix and of his others being just that bad. Elephant is good too though, I suppose.
Van Sant has been a big disappointment.

He was great as a kid when he was in River's Edge. I agree with the general consensus though that pretty much all of his other roles Keanu has done haven't been too good and that he gives new meaning to turning in a wooden/emotionally dead performance.

Norma J · 01.02.2007, 09:11 PM

^^ Hey! Point Break was great.

atari 2600 · 01.02.2007, 09:15 PM

It's a good action movie. A young Keanu is better in that one that most of his others. I just about mentioned it, but since Swayze is even good in that, I thought better of it for that reason.

That was a movie where both of those horrible actors had a character that they could each play convincingly.
