Lonesome Jim
Boring. I really like Steve Buscemi and I thought he played a great director in LIving in Oblivion, but Lonesome Jim didn't reaaly work for me. I think I like Casey Affleck. I have only seen him in a couple things but I thought he was funny, but in this his character was sooo anti-charisma. He never did anything until the very end and by that time I did not care anymore. Anyway, you get the idea.

The film is pretty bleak. Very funny in parts but so dang cynical. The ending actually made me mad. It's one of the worst examples of a cop out ending ever. First there's the heavy handed thematic speach to the girls basketball team and then the thematic lesson learned V.O. of a letter to his mom. But the reason it really bugged me is that for the first hour and twenty five minutes the movie succeeds in its attempt at being completely unsentimental and dry as a bone.
I agree about Casey Affleck. I like him.
