    I used to love American Beauty, but I would've to watch it again because I don't know how it would hit me now. 1999 was a really strong year, American Pie is still a great comedy, The Green Mile, The Matrix, Fight Club and others.

    I can understand her being down on American Beauty, and yeah Bringing out the Dead doesn't have the strongest/most coherent through line.
    But slagging on Blair Witch and Magnolia is crazy!

    The discussion of Boys Don’t Cry is fascinating given the change in how pronouns are now used. Maslin referred to the Brandon Teena character as she and Ebert also referred to the character as being female. The word transgender probably was not widely used in 1999.

      I hear you both and I can’t completely disagree, but gotta defend the third act. In lieu of all the strange “coincidences” at the beginning of film, the frogs raining from the sky, I felt, fit right in as things like that have indeed happened in real life. Not sure 🤔 if those stories told by Rickey Jay actually happened in history, but would you be surprised if they actually did? The film is making objective argument that there are no such thing as “coincidence”, that it’s just a word. Plus there were hints towards the ending through the first two acts, the weather bulletins in text on the screen, and the kid’s rap lyrics performed to the John C Riley character.
      As for the singing, yeah I guess I could take it or leave it, but I enjoyed it for two main reasons: I just really like that song, and I became invested in (most of) the characters by then. But I still understands the sentiments some people have of it being very pretentious.
