you probably only like this snoozefest because it has a shoehorned love story in it anyway.
You are so right. I only watched this for the lovey-dovey, hearts 'n flowers stuff. Hang the rest. That's what we girls do! -

Great film. And Val reeked of two things. Charisma and Coolness. One of a Kind. Loved the guy.
He was my favorite character in this film. He was also my favorite character in Heat.
He got robbed of an Oscar when he played Jim Morrison. He literally became Morrison.
He should have won best actor and they didn't even nominate him. Fuck The Academy.
The only poster who had his account banned 4 times without ever breaking any rules each of those times. -

I explained that in my review and mentioned it among Oscar snubs.

I totally agree with you. He was so much more than what the screen ever picked up. There was so much more to him than what people saw.
He had that charisma, coolness and charm that few actors naturally have.
He definitely deserved an Oscar for Tombstone and one for his portrayal of Jim Morrison. If you can put aside that the movie only showed the nihilistic side of Jim, Val did an exceptional job of simply becoming him. He was born to play that role and no one else could have done it. He embodied the role. The movie also primarily used Val's vocals and a mix of his and Jim Morrison's.
The Acadamy has become a total joke. It has been for quite a while now. It's become nothing more than a political display of elites patting each other on the back with purchased awards. It's too bad to see it come to this.
