Those who steal scenes

One more musing, and then I promise I will stop.

Bravo is now playing The Crying Game for the fourth or fifth time tonight, and I have decided that the only part of the movie that interests me is the first bit with Forest Whitaker. Jaye Davidson and Stephen Rea...not so much. The latter part -- the bulk -- of the movie does nothing for me, but the first bit is golden.

Well, that's not totally true -- I do like Miranda Richardson throughout the film, and I should probably take the time to watch the whole thing without commercial interruptions so I can find out what happens after Whitaker gets voted off. But the latter scenes are what's "interesting;" the former scenes are what's good.

Okay. Done. Whew.
