fun.......better than it is. LOL. You're right, there are moments.I feel all better now, having vented. Probably over reacted, too. But I still think "Gloria" is a mess.
No kidding, thanks.

patience is a virtue, Cassavetes wasn't making movies for the Game-boy generationYeah, "Gloria" is pretty much unwatchable; apart from the dreaded Gena Rowlands the kid ( child actor would be more PC ) is atrociously miscast
Funny thing is, that was a relatively popular film back then + probably Cassavetes most commercially successful ( go figure )
Difficult to believe; but "Minnie + Moskowitz" is actually *worse* than "Gloria" + made on a much lower budget
Cassavetes was nominated by the Writers Guild of America for the screenplay of M + M, as "best comedy written for the screen"
( Go figure x 2 )
This would vindicate anyones taste in films ( ! )

...given him 4 decades to impress me. LOL. I'm moving on.
As you remind me, he has his moments and no doubt made his important contribution to self-made moviedom but when I see or think of his work I'm reminded of the Sam Johnson adage, "he's not only dull himself; he's the cause of dullness in others."
Like I said before, I appreciate knowing he's there, just not for me.
