Craptabulous.

Withnail and I - very good beginning and end, non-existent middle and a homophobic and bigoted subplot make me wonder why this film has become a cult favorite...average at best. :\ 6/10

Farewell my concubine - nearly perfect. 9/10

Oh dear Oh dear WITHNAIL AND I is a truly brilliant film. Stunningly written and performed. It is one of our nations favourite films. The so called homophobic subplot is non existent, you are looking for it. The film has never been called homophobic or bigoted. Watch it again with a different mindset.

Don't really see how.

Monty takes a shine to I , Withnail tells Monty that I is gay so they can use the cottage.Monty goes there thinking I is gay.

That doesn't sound homophobic to me , Carry on films used this kind of plot all the time with men thinking women liked them & vice versa. I don't see how using it in a gay context makes it homophobic.

Once was quite enough. That wasn't the main problem...apart from a few funny scenes in the beginning and the end, it had little else to offer...

I thought the pushy old fag that wants to arse innocent young men and can't take no for an answer was a tad off putting/stereotypical/bigoted...but I have a different mindset of course...I suppose it wouldn't be such a problem if I didn't think it perpetuated some very negative stereotypes...I have enough problems dealing with those so I'm a tad too sensitive perhaps.

Just got back from 30 days of Night. I'll give it a 8/10 for ridiculous cinematography and badassadry. They kind of skip over a bunch of the days and really don't show the effects of them other than Josh Hartnett's growing beard.

I much prefer MONSTERS, INC and THE INCREDIBLES. I enjoyed the film, but I was expecting more from it.
