....the two kinds of films I absolutely loathe, even the idea of, are...

1. Poker movies

2. Auto race movies.

...watching paint dry comes close. In a poker movie you know damn well that the writer, or janitor, decided the order and types of cards that would be dealt, and they would be exactly what was needed to drive the silly plot....with race movies you get dizzy and bored as the cameraman tries to come up with new ways to show a road...a steering wheel, a gearshift knob, gas peddles and tires...and busty babes looking for love.

...people who actually played poker and had fun thought maybe watching them play would be a thrill...same with the guy who races cars and gets a hard-on and imagines that I'll get one too, just watching..or my date will...what they forget is that there is no DRAMA in watching scripted games....none at all...the whole fucking thing is choreographed and how many ways can it be done?

Steve McQueen has made them...James Garner, even Jean Paul Belmondo...and they all stink...I've never lasted more than a minute...I mean, what the fuck is there to relate to?
