Aside from the usual Hollywood bullshit (overacted, overproduced, overdone in pretty much every way), it was worth my ten bucks. Walked out of there struck by the realization that good writing does in fact make a difference. Good directors can do a lot with a mediochre script, but just having those good lines in there, those elements of satire and critique, that narrative arc. Fitzgerald could in fact write, seems to me ... Anybody else bite the bullet and go check it out?
As an aside, would definitely be interested to know what Bukowski made of Fitzgerald. Can anybody mention any times where the name came up in Bukowski's work?
