just saw perhaps the worst movie ever made - or at least the worst waste of talent: john travolta, uma thurman, danny devito, james woods, ced the entertainer etc in "be cool." it had its comedic moments, i guess, but they were swamped in a mind-numbingly earnest and mind-crushingly stupid plot about the attempt of the cast to break the next beyonce, or whatever. the girl is cute as a button and emits idiotic lowestcommondenominator pale blackpop pap of the "believe in yourself" variety while everyone gasps at her transcendent talent. truly, cinema idiotique. meanwhile i saw a recent western called "renegade" that looks b-movie conventional by the cover, with the only participant you ever heard of being juliette lewis. but it disintegrates from standard "you killed my ho" revengeplot to a complete meltdown into the most amazing peyote trip ever achieved on screen: the plot's never even resolved, just transmuted into snakes which are transmuted into persons which are transmuted into spinning madalas depicting the cosmic circle of life or something.
