i've seen tsotsi (at the cumberland) and memoirs of a geisha and thought they were both great.

I'll give you odds on Tsotsi, but not Geisha. Never Geisha. :)

First time listener. Good podcast Matt, I quite enjoyed it... keep up the good work. BTW, I only disliked Crash but I hated Magnolia so much more. It's funny, because I was suprised I specifically thought of Magnolia while watching Crash as well. You mentioned that there was some kind of theme or reason for the interconnectedness of the characters in Magnolia, but I just didn't get it and hated every minute. If you happen to have a link to some criticism or review of that movie that attempts to explain it, I'd be interested, because my god I thought it was painful and senseless and pretentious and I wanted to beat up that director.

Hi RandomTangent, thanks for listening! It's funny: Magnolia seems to be one of those classically polarizing movies. People either love it off, or hate the living hell out of it. I have a friend who falls so firmly into the latter pile that we occasionally almost get into fistfights about it. (I love the film, yet must report that I also get a splitting headache every single time I watch it.)

A good place to start for Magnolia criticism is <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/magnolia.";>http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/magnolia.<;/a>
