You turn the page, wash your hands.

To all of the avid readers of this blog, I apologize. Babel is an awful movie. I'm sorry if you saw it. Really, I am. How could Guillermo Arriaga Jordán let us down. I don't know what to say. Guillermo Arriaga Jordán! Cmon. With it's mimicry of the 21 Grams formula, emulating the shooting and story style, how could it not be great? I mean 21 Grams worked out for you Guillermo, why not do it again? It's all connected by a gun. There. I ruined it for you. I just saved you 10 dollars and 142 minutes of your life.

A gun. I don't even know how to criticize that. He tries to weave in three different stories with a gun. It doesn't work, and you leave the theater pissed off. You can thank me later.
