The Last Time I Committed Suicide
It would be "kind of moot" if there was "too much redundancy" in this film to appeal to a "miner or trucker" who "thought the beat" went on, but instead this movie was "apparently insanely" "not too much" according to "'Twitchy'" Fans.
Not such a good movie. Not too much of an interesting story. Not too much of a compelling plot. (Aren't those two things pretty much the same? Well, you can never have too much redundancy.) Keanu does what he does well, but there is nothing around him to make the movie worth seeing.
Did Vincent "Twitchy" D'Onofrio direct this? I thought the beat poets were relaxed, man, but this movie hops all over the place, including switching between black and white and color. Keanu is brilliant, but rating things based on his brilliance would be kind of a moot point--he needs back-up (a story, a director, fellow actors) and there's none here.
OK. So we've had a movie about apparently insanely influential beat poet Neal Cassady (as played by the Punisher), now we need a movie about his lovable (not so lovable at times, but biopics are always more interesting if our lead character has some flaws, like desire to corrupt a miner or a trucker) barfly (and based on the Nicholson movie, we know people go to see those "Barfly" movies) friend "Harry." Granted "Harry" is likely an amalgam or some just a plot device, but "Harry" still could make the center of a credible movie (I'm pretty sure there have been biopics about fictional characters whose names only appear in "quotations," right?). Suggested titles: "Let's Get 'Harry'" or "With a Friend Like 'Harry'" or "When 'Harry' Met All Those Influential 'Beat' Poets, Well Maybe Not 'All' of Them, But The Most Influentialest Of All" (a triple "in quotes" title) or "'Harry' and Tonto" (possible "Lone Ranger" franchise movie) or "'Harry' and the Hendersons"
