And I wouldn't be too happy about Jonze and Kaufman failing here. They are some of the most brave and creative folks in the biz today. Their previous film, "Being John Malkovich" reached almost Pythonesque levels of absurdity and creativity. Do you guys have any idea how hard it is to get an art house type movie into wide release? With these guys gone, we'll be stuck with more american pie movies. So be careful what you lump in with "Hollywood" movies.

""Being John Malkovich" reached almost Pythonesque levels of absurdity and creativity."

Was absurdity the stated goal of the film? I would think not, its goal seem clear and par for Hollywood. Not unlike "Eyes Wide Shut", also absurd, also not deliberate.

Two of the worse films I have seen.

I would also say that "Being John Malkovich" and "The Crying Game" were two films where the promotions were very misleading.

I had an idea of what I was in for with "Eyes Wide Shut".
