I have the Blockbuster movie by mail thingy because going to the movies feels like getting mugged.
I just saw Crash, the good one, with Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, and Matt Dillon. If you can f---ing handle the language (and a couple sex spots), then you have got a good movie to wrestle with. It is everything White Man's Burden and Falling Down wish that they could have been, but didn't have the political or sociological guts to be.
You get a raw feel for the racial tension brewing inside people. Not White people or Black people, or Persian people, but people.
I watched the movie being aware of how people touched each other. Whoa! Try watching with that in mind.

We watched it last night as well. Yeah, the language was rough, but it felt like the most honest and real treatment of the subject of bigotry, racial stereotyping, and fear of those who are "different." It was scary.
Very incredible movie. We probably won't be watching it for movie night, but still. Incredible.
Great flick. The language in the movie is probably representative of speech in L.A. I had no problem with the language.
loved crash - or, well, was deeply moved and ticked to be convicted of my own stereotypical... whatever. liked it!
I had to see Crash for a class at Seattle U. Loved it. We're watching it this weekend for Film & Spirituality (FilmNite.com).
