diatribe2000

Utter crap. Too busy to look at and will melt your brain if you listen to the actors line read their dialogue. I cannot, for the life of me, understand the people writing reviews claiming that this is the best thing since antibiotics. I've heard better dialogue in late night infomercials. Obviously in dire need of the Han Solo character who stands back and asks, "You can't possibly be serious about any of this joining the dark side crap, right?" I am looking forward to seeing the film student cut of this film - like the ones that come out after each of the new Episodes- where some younger, talented person who actually gives a crap about the franchise manages to dub in entertaining and respectable dialogue and reshape the action into something I can enjoy without having ADHD.

If you ever wanted to know what it might be like to be a 20-something at a summer evening party in Brooklyn, Home brings it to you - right from the awkward early arrivals conversation to the last lingering geeky guy who continues to hope to get lucky.

Reminiscent of the kind of events I went to as an undergrad, Home's characters talk about their work and their relationships, drifting in and out of each other's conversations in a way I find I do less and less as a 30-something. As a result, I felt a kind of nostalgia for the people and situations in the film - the boyfriend stealer, the jilted crush, the pining for the cute guy who may or may not be interested - and how I felt at that age when it seemed like everything in life could be determined in the course of one evening's party.

I saw this film at the San Jose film festival, and have heard it will be shown at several other festivals this year, where I'd be interested in seeing it again. I'd also be interested in getting a copy of the soundtrack if it becomes available.
