...reckless sensuality, turning the beam on and off at will, indulging Marge's love while he stealthily impregnates an Italian woman. In a movie that ups the sexual octane of the book, Tom's interest in Dickie is explicitly homoerotic, the yearning poignant and desperate. The killing in the boat is less murder than the fatal flailing of a rejected suitor. Tom is crushed by Dickie's dismissal, so he crushes Dickie...

Why don't these studio heads realize how ridiculously long 2 hrs and 40 minutes is for a movie that isn't about a sinking boat? In order to see these four films (all presumably good ones), you'll have to spend almost 12 hours in a movie theater over Christmas break. But if you want to watch Toy Story 2 four times - a movie that no doubt is better than any of those will...
