Alvie (I think that was his name…he didn’t say it clearly) spent the entire movie cleverly whining about the intricate (and sometimes delicate) details of his life in hopes of getting sympathy or laughs. I didn’t figure out which one he was aiming for.
I guess I should respect this type of entertainment.
He made fun of Hollywood, intellectuals, Marshall “The Media is the Message” McLuen, Los Angeles, New York, Psychoanalysis, various religions, politicians and people who say stupid things trying to sound intellectual..
To wit…I was watching a basketball game the other night and there was a player from Nigeria on the team. The sidelines reported relayed a conversation with him where she claimed he said that Obama’s election wasn't a big surprise to him because, quote…”He is used to having an African-American as the President.”
I guess it’s nice to hear that Americans are in positions of power over in Africa, too.
