Underrated and overrated films (and other general filmy chat)

I found it unrelentingly grim and predictable and dull, and nearly all the characters (except for Marge Gunderson) make the most infuriatingly stupid decisions.

This is actually making me think of this thread:

Guns and mental illness: no easy answer

Reading time: ~10 minutes Jerod Poore, the founder and webmaster of CrazyMeds, posted this piece on the CrazyMeds forum five days after the Sandy Hook mass shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Diagnosed with epilepsy, Asperger’s, and bipolar disorder, Mr. Poore is deeply familiar with issues of mental health. I share this because the issue of mental illness invariably pops up in threads on shootings and gun reform. This is his original post, complete with no modifications. All italicized empha…

Specifically the thing about how we mostly don’t realize how close we are to making tragically bad decisions. I think the infuriatingly stupid decisions is the thing that people like. Well, that and Marge, who is just spectacular.
