I first saw Crash on DVD, after I had seen BBM. I thought it was a good flick, entertaining, even told some people I liked it and they should rent it.
Then, after Black Sunday -- which left me utterly disgusted and depressed and angry as anyone else -- it was re-released and playing at the dollar show. So, despite my disgust, I allowed myself to see it again (I mean, it was only a dollar!) on the big screen, just so I could be a little more objective and see if I, too, could be "moved" like some Crash fans had been.
Well, it was the same exact movie I saw the first time. Not even close to Best Picture material, and *light years* away from the masterpiece that is BBM.
But hey, that's me.
