Excuse me? I assume you hated TLTCTC because of lack of car chases,
but those of us with IQs above 50 realized that the film is an example
of utter genius. Yes, I didn't understand - or even appreciate - it at
first, but after several repeated viewings I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT.
The key is repeated viewings and discussion with other rabid KateFans(tm),
Especially IED and KLN, in my case.
For example (and I know it's hard to believe but it's true), I didn't
understand "Eraserhead" when I first saw it.
> Films have stories. TLTCTC did not.
I'll let IED contradict this bald-faced LIE.
