This movie is so depressing and miserable...and dammit I love it. Steve Buscemi made such a gem out of it. It does kinda remind me of Barfly (man, another unsung hero of a film) and hints of Beautiful Girls (by the late Ted Demme, god bless his soul).
Doesn't hurt to have Chloe Sevigny in it, too...love those droopy eyes.
What if you never left town...stayed in the old neighborhood, didn't marry the girl you always thought you would, ...never made the career you, well, never really could figure out?
age is a funny thing...and when you stay in an environment too long you reach this twilight zone that keeps you from growing up, and you get stuck...until something happens, and then...well, you're still stuck...but now you see it more clearly and it's really pissing you off!
don't mind me, man, i was just messin' with ya...have a drink on me...connie, give the man a bud and a wild turkey....
