- Quotes
Buzz: I particularly like her use of purple and green.
Girl in Gallery: And her ability to understate, yet state enough.
Buzz: Yes! Her postmodern sense of metamorphosis is nothing less than iconoclassicism at it's pinnacle.
Girl in Gallery: And least we forget her nostalgic blend of Nordic Renaissance and late mahogany that sensitizes the Romanistic style with the Carolingian flair for the preconceptual.
Buzz: Ahem.
- Alternate versionsThe version shown on UPN has Ely Pouget wearing a bra during her love scene with Woody Harrelson instead of being topless.

Woah. What a weird flick
Ten stars just because you've got to see this weird film. I happened upon it on HBO the other night, just in time to catch Sean Penn (not credited) playing this blond pony tailed Irishman in a bar, spouting lilty prose, and trying to buck up a hapless Woody. Hank Azaria and Woody have more weeping, shouting scenes than any chick flick I've seen, and combined with a Cormanesque art direction, this is one classic sad sack story. I was desperate to find the remote, but was glued to my seat as Woody, the painter who only paints this one woman over an over.. finally confronts her - after she slashes her portraits at Woody's big coming out show. (in a gallery that looked like an abandoned warehouse, of the backside of the same set for Woody's 'loft') Hank Azaria's jealous melt down over Woody's being the 'guy who gets all the girls' over a pool table, complete with cue ball tossing (Off Camera - "hey watch where you throw that!") and cuestick smashing.. well, the movie Gods are to be thanked for not having this flick stop all of their careers. But really tune in for Sean Penn's off beat barfly - the guy does a spot on irish accent up until he reveals he's just a handy man from the valley with bon mots of relationship wisdom.. or is he? Was it God all along masquerading as an Irish wit? Not to be missed.
