'american beauty' is impressive for, if nothing else, nakedly swinging for the fences of being a Deep Movie and mostly pulling it off

ACTUALLY it's a normal movie about the normal desires re overcoming the normal insecurities of normal people, boring, 0/10

heh, this reminds me of Fight Club, which I liked and which similar clichés are launched against

90s are infested with these kinds of movies. fight club is def better, and you can kind of tell bc it feels less dated

written by Tarantino but directed by not-Tarantino, starring Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, cameo by Gary Oldman.

not cameo I guess, minor role. Best minor role ever. Also has the most Tarantino-esque dialogue segment of all Tarantino.
