Robbins and Stowe were great, as was most of the cast (and yes, Jennifer Jason Leigh's disconnect was perfect, and it worked to strengthen the resentment her husband, Chris Penn, had for her chosen line of work).<br /><br />Thanks again, and I hope you spot a few more hidden gems in the mix (and even if you don't like them, please be sure to leave a comment and let us know why).DVD Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986606131886453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-11519946598260908362012-06-28T14:57:40.178-04:002012-06-28T14:57:40.178-04:00Missed this gem when it first came out. WOW!! Seam...Missed this gem when it first came out. WOW!! Seamlessly interwoven storylines of fascinating and interesting, albeit dysfunctional characters. Tim Robbins and Madeleine Stowe's storyline was deliciously screwed up, and I loved Jennifer Jason Leigh's disconnect as a phone sex operator. Thanks for bringing this film to my attention!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011595928950454514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-40812170255358933002011-04-24T23:49:52.610-04:002011-04-24T23:49:52.610-04:00A few things stick with me from this movie:
- Whe...A few things stick with me from this movie:<br /><br />- When Matthew Modine yells at Julianne Moore for not wearing any underpants<br /><br />- Tom Waits and Lily Tomlin singing that little song about getting out of Downey<br /><br />- How when I saw this at LACMA during a huge Altman retrospective, people actually clapped at the ends of the Annie Ross music numbers.<br /><br />I agree with you about Altman, he just simply made it look so easy to juggle a huge, talented staff. I feel like Charlie Kaufman should have studied his work more before undertaking Synchedoche, NY.CitizenRobotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669677798333242325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-75686335980248628192011-02-27T09:26:46.329-05:002011-02-27T09:26:46.329-05:00Melissa: Thanks for stopping by.

He does such a masterful job balancing the stories, and the entire cast is wonderful.DVD Infatuationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02986606131886453883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003345269984484749.post-85498011620951577352011-02-27T09:20:44.516-05:002011-02-27T09:20:44.516-05:00I've always loved this movie!I've always loved this movie!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16317955095955760786noreply@blogger.com
