“Crash” Is a Shitty Movie
Man, I just saw one of the shittiest movies I’ve seen in ages: Crash. It’s even worse because it’s a shitty movie dressed up like a “good” movie. They should have called this movie “Racism Hurts People, So Let’s Overcome It” instead, because that is the absolute only way that they could have made this pile of shit more trite, over the top and fucking blazingly obvious. I mean, fuck… five minutes into this movie I hoped that a bomb would go off so that all the characters would die horribly and painfully. By the end of it, I was just laughing out loud as Sandra Bullock fell down the stairs and everybody else went through the most annoying and pointless character transformations in the whole world. If there’s one thing I don’t want out of a movie, I’ll tell you what it is: a lecture. Who wants to sit there and be moralized at for two hours? Hell, if I wanted that, I’d go to church - but I bet that would somehow be more fun.
Speaking of which, while I was in the bathroom at the movie theatre, I came across something weird. It’s a little booklet with a dude ski-jumping through the air with a mountain in the background and the words “Extreme Freedom” on the front. Guess what was inside of this totally misleading cover: that’s right, the Gospel of John, courtesy of a group called “Pocket Power“. Hehe, I’m not even going to make a sexual joke about that title. But anyway, they have some really awesome diagrams about Sin and God inside of it that I’ll try to recreate and comment on when I have more time.

“I mean, fuck… five minutes into this movie I hoped that a bomb would go off so that all the characters would die horribly and painfully.”
Time, you are holding on us - can’t you tell us how you really feel?

I thought we already had a perfectly fine film called ‘Crash’ (David Cronenberg 1996) - do we need this shite?

I thought you were talking about the Cronenberg, and was about to get up in your face about it. Hadn’t even heard about the Bullock movie.
There are some great crypto-Gnostic Phildickian bits in Crash, as in all of Ballard’s work.
