you think the director saw a few episodes of pete and pete on snick in his day?

In seeing this opening segment of the Brothers Bloom, I couldn't think of a more entertaining and fun movie as a much needed distraction from the frustration of today's world insanity.At least 85% of the movies made today aren't worth the waste of safety film. I am sick of all the "mentally arthritic" hollywood directors who just can't let a good movie be a good movie. It seems that so many of them have to inflict their own frustrated, twisted, and abnormal psyche's into so many bad endings, so many distorted moral dilemas, (as if we don't have enough of the real thing in the "real world"). How many of us have looked at each other after watcing another Hollywood disaster and asked...was this really necessary???Oh, and did I mention the many disgraceful remakes and kids books made into boring family films as if the writers signed away their total "point of perspective" for a few bucks. I am glad to see a movie like the "Brothers Bloom" from the director of "Brick". It seems that Ryan Johnson has some intelligence in that he didn't feel compelled to have to make a "Brick 2". What he did show was his wide spectrum of thinking and creativity that is refreshing, seductive, and thoroughly entertaining. This is the next generation of great directors.
