I think we are psychically connected, because I almost lost it watching House of Sand and Fog. It was relentlessly miserable, and I can deal with that, but it has to be for something more important than just saying "American people suck sometimes!" The whole episode with the shooting was another of those "Gimme a break" moments. This was two hours of nonstop pointless misery, and at the end I wanted to ask the director when I could come over to his house and talk about how miserable life was for two hours and ruin HIS evening.
Well, thank you. I'm glad I'm in good company. I'm assuming you saw "Sixth Sense" with Bruce Willis. When did you know that he was dead? I suspected it when he got shot and his blood was oozing out all over the bed and the picture faded out to black. But I was sure of it when he went to the restaurant and his wife ignored him and he never picked anything up off the table.
