What a drag it tis getting old? I rarely get sick but I seem to have come down with a sore throat and earache. This is especially bad for my precious weekend time. Always one to multi-task, I rewatched "Rushmore" in my pre-dawn misery. I have a few observations.
Schwartzman's character is much more psychopathic than i remembered. He was ahead of his time as a gaslighter but Ms. Cross handled it without excess moaning and a pointing of fingers. Bill M. is truly the everyman of middle age decay. Even happiness offered is gladly squandered without an afterthought. The soundtrack is sublime and actually provides the sweetness that doesn't really exist in the characters. It's still one of my top ten movies. Also learned that it was co-authored by Owen Wilson!!!!
