Punch

Watched Punch-Drunk Love in film studies on Monday.

It turned out to be a pretty entertaining movie. Adam Sandler's performance was unexpectedly brilliant. He plays this lonely, lonely guy Barry whose life is punctuated with fits of rage (Barry once destroyed a washroom, tearing off the cubicle doors and wrenching out the liquid soap dispensers). His conversation with the phone-sex chick was freakin' hilarious.

The only drawback in this movie was its fucking sound editing. They incorporated loads and loads of ridiculous noise within the movie. And i watched it on a day when i only had 30 mins of sleep the night before so i was tremendously irritated, so much so that i was gripping the little table of the Plenary Theatre seat, wanting to whack someone. Just watch it and u know what i mean. Fucking annoying.

Annoying noise aside, Punch-Drunk Love is worth watching. Just watch it on mute, perhaps? Subtitles!
