In Reply to: Vincent -- you hate 'The Ice Storm'? How come? posted by Bob Wombat on March 17, 2002 at 09:36:08:
If it wasn't for Vinney's hate for the ice storm, I would never have known that they make guitar picks out of celluloid. And I've been playing guitar for seven damn years! Ei me.

: Some films, I can understand why people might passionately hate them. I've got plenty myself, particularly in the often wankily morose Social Realist Drama category. But 'The Ice Storm' has always struck me as a pretty damned fine example of the filmmaking craft. It's one of the few films that actually 'moved' me; 'Requiem For A Dream' being the only other one that springs to mind right now.
: I was just wondering what your beef was with it.
: Cheers.
