Some followup:
La Jetee, the French thing that "inspired" 12 Monkies, was 28 minutes long, so it's not even a real movie.
Brad Pitt was in fact nominated for Best Supporting Actor. Good job by him. He spent time at mental institutions in Philly to learn how to be crazy. Maybe that's how he pulled this and Fight Club off.
The reason the album release posters on the wall were so old and from 1994 instead of 1996 like you were complaining about was that the film's release was pushed back by Universal spending way too much money on Waterworld. Production took way longer than expected for this film because of that.
Also, Brad Pitt signed on early before he was famous, so he didn't get paid much. Se7en and Interview with a Vampire were both released between him signing on and the film being finished, so that helped sell this guy.
And the beast has an 87% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Not bad. |
