Okay, So I'm Dumb

I FINALLY got a chance to sit down and watch Chunking Express by Wong Kar Wai.

I didn’t like it.  I found it random, arbitrary, irritating and just a teensy bit pretentious.

It’s official, I’m an ignorant boor.  I wanted to like it, so I could maintain some cinemaphile street cred, but I just rolled my eyes so many times over the course of the film that I have to accept the fact that I may just be too stupid and uncultured to appreciate this movie.  Oh well, we can’t all be cinematic geniuses…
