ehhhhhhh, nbk was just ok and hasn't exactly aged well - lightning rod film at the time, but less impressive over time

Here's where we agree to disagree.

I mean, as a parody of the media circus it's good, but the media circus getting worse and worse making nbk's critique of it more and more accurate over time isn't necessarily a reflection of film quality, more a reflection of how we as a society continue to fail

The movie was so prescient it makes it low quality?

prescience doesn't make it good

mass media quality has always been an easy target for mockery.

I also didn't say it was bad, I'm just not going to say it was great, and definitely not going to say it was better than The Doors

it was an ok movie and had likeable qualities at the time, but was also full of details that turned out to be not so great as time goes on
