: I do have a bit of an unusual question. After the movie, the female :friend with whom I watched it said that Jay's character almost ruined the :film for her with his crudity.
People either love'em or hate'em. imho, why be offended by someone's actions/words? there are better things to get pissed off about. Such as the success of Riverdance.
:Jay seems to be the sort of character who is loveable in some ways--loyal, :honest, elemental (simple may be more on target)--yet in many other ways, :he seems like a colossal loser, a waste of perfectly good carbon and :water. When _I_ laugh at Jay, at least, it isn't, "Heh heh heh, titty joke :funny," it's "Oh my Lord, I hope I am never a loser like that." Yet in the :end of the film, God even loves Jay. And if God can love a guy like Jay, :then maybe God can love the rest of us.
that could be one way of interpreting it. He's got a great yin/yang thing going for him. And letse, you can either be pissed that roses have thorns, or be joyous that thorns have roses. Its all about perception, laddy. Don't let what you perceive as 'bad' to spoil what is truly a good thing.
: Or is Jay really there for, "Heh heh heh, titty joke funny," and I'm just :an elitist fuck?
and there's another interpretation. Yet you seem to think that one is a better choice than other.
: Also, why did God shout to kill Bartleby? Why not just one single word, a :whisper even?
Maybe God wasn't shouting, and that its divine voice just appears that way to our little human minds.
:It seemed out of place in a way (although it sure took advantage of how :wide Alannis Morrisette's mouth can open),
And I'm sure Kev took advantage of that in other ways. Heh heh heh, BJ joke funny.
: Finally, part of me is somewhat thankful for Linda Fiorentino in a wet :white sweater, but it was kind of a cheap way to get a little flesh in the :movie. I mean, jeez, just have a "well, let me get dressed real quick" :scene or something. Eesh.
Do you think Kev was sitting down for hours on end, pondering how he could get some good t&a into the flick? Give the man some credit, Linda's probably the skanky type that purposely didn't wear a bra. Secondly, he already did the dressing room thing in 'rats.
