Sorry for the all caps title but sometimes something just needs to be said loudly and nothing says 'I'm yelling' like all caps.
Needless to say I just got back from watching 'Burn After Reading'. Now, I also recently saw 'Babylon AD'. A movie that managed to make gun fights and explosions boring. I found it to be a pointless series of events and shiny colors attempting and failing to hold my attention. 'Burn After Reading' not only felt pointless but it was a movie that seemed confused with itself. It doesn't fit into any known genre and actively seems to want you to dislike it. Every time it starts to pull you in, capture your attention or otherwise make an effort moments later it does its best to annoy or otherwise displease you with the next few events.
In fact I'm so displeased with it I fully intend on writing a letter to the Coen brothers and asking for an apology.
