I have just been forced to watch some bits of MOULIN ROUGE, the movie. I hated it before I ever saw any, and the pieces I have seen have done nothing but make me loathe it. It is absolutely the opposite of anything I want to see in films, not to mention wrecking one of my favourite songs. (I loathe Elton John, but one has to concede that he wrote some damn good songs, and none better than "A song for you".)

Also, I've been told that I have terrible taste in movies!

I guess I have high expectations. But I found the thing pretentious and horrible. I would rather watch an unpretentious but well-made episode of Diagnosis Murder, which makes no demands on you and lets you follow an interesting story, than put up with an eye-raping set of visuals for the sake of someone's crassly wrong-headed aesthetics.
