movie review - Kingpin

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.07.14

Bullshit movie about a circuit of losers who bowl for a living. Woody Harrelson, Bill Murray, and Randy Quaid wander from one slapstick scene involving humour about breasts and vomit. I think everyone involved could do better, including the viewer.

Not recommended. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'm watching too many movies and kissing too many frogs.

rand()m quote

Work is about a daily search for meaning as well as daily bread; for recognition as well as cash; for astonishment rather than torpor; in short for a sort of life, rather than a monday-to-friday sort of dying.
