4. Eddie Izzard was the only good thing about that movie...
which isn't enough to get me to see it again. Ninety-plus minutes of my life I can't get back.

8. Well true
The movie may have not made sense for the last half, but it could make a straight man have homoerotic thoughts....

12. LOVED it.
Great music, HOTTT guys, incredibly cool clothes, lots and lots of Oscar Wilde, plenty of implied gay sex. Whooo! smokin! Plot was kind of interesting too, sort of. I actually own it on DVD and have probably watched it dozen times. And I don't care what the rest of you on this thread think, nyah! :P Actually, maybe I'll go and watch it again now, heh heh heh. :silly:
