IT COULD'VE BEEN WORSE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN LONGER: Updating a recent story, Jen and I just had the misfortune of watching that JFK Jr. biopic on TBS and, boy, was that bad.
How bad? So bad it made that Showtime biopic of Tiger Woods look like Citizen Kane in terms of its subtlety and narrative craft.
How bad? So bad that the moviemakers actually decided they had to tell you that John-John was often taught the Icarus myth growing up -- you know watch it when you're flying -- and they think they're being profound.
How bad? You know who should be suing the makers of this movie? Daryl Hannah herself. The actress who plays her, Tara Chocol, is so bad at portraying the former Clan of the Cave Bear star that I actually wished that Daryl Hannah had decided to get back into acting and auditioned for the part herself. (I mean, was she busy? With what?)
Oh, and Jackson? Mr. Browne isn't pictured in the movie (and given the quality of the acting, he should be thankful), and is only referred to once, so quickly you might miss it, as "Jackson" on the phone. Jeez. Methinks Mr. Sensitive doth protest too much.
