- Peeve: *Eraserhead*. I went to a sort of artsy-fartsy college where
- everybody (particulary the film majors) *raved* about this flick.
- They'd usually show it once a semester with something like *A Clockwork
- Orange* or *Brazil* and everybody would crowd 'round to watch.
-
- I never failed to fall asleep. I don't care what anybody says, *Eraserhead*
- is a totally fucking boring movie. I don't care if it's art, I don't care
- about whatever Freudian or Jungian parallels to life one can draw from it,
- it's a goddamed yawn-fest.
-
- !Peeve: *Heathers*. Now *that's* art.
