  I'm not inspired at all to see it-thanks for the confirmation!

  I did waste 2 hours of my life watching eyes wide shut--sensual, yeah OK, if I was a teenager and sneaking up late to watch it on Showtime.
  I was expecting an SK flick at it's best--and I found it to be very rich, visually, but completely lacking in character development and a piecemeal plot--and the weirdness wasn't "cultish" or moody--just weird (but not Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas weird) kind of "who cares" weird. Did I miss something?

    You didn't miss anything. It is quite sad that his brilliant career had to end like that. The film was the definition of "boring", with dated silly plot given too much importance it didn't deserve, and the director too absorbed in that plot to notice things were going completely wrong.

    I can't defend a single thing about that mess, including his choice of two bimbo "stars" - one male, one female... sell wort of.

    Things like that defy any explanation.

    He shall still remain one of the great ones - with his Barry Lyndon forever on my VERY short list.
