I know I'm posting awfully late in the game here, but am I the only one concerned that Atticus fancies himself an expert in movies starring pre-teen girls?
And drhathaway, I liked
Punch Drunk Love, but I haven't come up with a coherent defense of the film as yet. I do like the notion that (1) many Adam Sandler fans sat through a pretty experimental film, and (2) P.T. Anderson saw Adam Sandler and thought to himself, "Yeah, normally I work with guys like Bill Macy and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but I'd like to try to make a movie with someone who has the acting chops of a community theatre understudy."
