The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which "unskilled people reach erroneous conclusions and make unfortunate choices but their incompetence robs them of the metacognitive ability to realize it." The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their own ability as above average.

I rented Babel yesterday. between the little moroccan kid whacking off to his sister then shooting at a bus of tourists, deaf-mute asian girl getting kicked out of a volleyball match then trying to get a dentist to feel her up, and the housekeepr who took two little white kids to her son's wedding in mexico and lost them in the desert, I am totally weirded out.
I saw Babel over the weekend and thought it was a good movie. Not the best movie, but certainly better than The Departed.

gotta disagree with you there buddy. i loved Amores Perros and was expecting more from Inarritu. i liked Babel, but The Departed was the better film. very unexpected finished. as for Babel, there were tons of questions left unanswered at the end of the film.

I thought Babel and The Departed were both shit. How Scorsese won for that piece of shit is beyond me.
I could not agree with you more on The Departed. I thought that movie was really bad...as in not good.

Didn't watch The Departed (although I ran them both), but I'm sort of sick of ensemble films like Babel. It was better than Crash, but it still felt like one of those movies that really middlebrow people go to, and then afterward they feel all smart like they just saw something Significant.

I watched some of Incident at Loch Ness this morning on one of the 900 HBO's I get. It's a "documentary" about "Werner Herzog", played by Werner Herzog, making a documentary about the Loch Ness monster. Maybe I hadn't had enough coffee yet, but it was too "meta" for me, and I normally like that sort of thing.

Crash is to thoughtful movies what Olive Garden is to Italian cuisine.
Bahahahaa! Oh my God, you fucking WIN.

WORD.
There was this whole avalanche of films around 99/2000 that was all about how "random human lines intersect".
I didn't really like Amores Perros, even though the performances were quite good. I just got tired of the plot. I felt like Phillip Seymour Hofman in Red Dragon - "Here is a bunch of unhappy people making bad decisions - do you see?"
21 Grams was fucking unwatchable.
I didn't see Crash, just because of the reviews it got. I'm thinking I may rent Babel, just to make sure.
