I realise that I'm never going to get along with other Wong Kar Wai fans, mainly because I love 2046 and hate Chungking Express. How many fucking times do you need to hear "California Dreaming"? At the same time, how many times do you need to hear the story about whispering your secrets into a hole in a tree?
After flipping out reading a comment about 2046 being "rather horrid", I don't think it's anything much more than the fact that I cannot stand usage of the word "horrid" when "horrible" or "sucky" would be thrice as excellent in its place. Everyone has word-peeves. My sister hates when I use "ish". And I had a problem with "anyways" until it occurred to me that everyone and their mother used it, including TAs. Then it became sort of cute. At least I'm not using it yet.
