Tag, you're it, Lars!


Originally uploaded by TiVo_epaper

I did my tagging on Amazon. One of the items I chose to practice on was the movie, Lars and the Real Girl. As other users' tags indicated, it was a quirky, poignant, original film about a delusional young man and the community that supports him through a very unique healing process (that's my tag). Not everyone agreed with my assessment of this film; some called it overrated, dull and shmatzy (?) To each his own of course, but it was interesting to find tagging being used as a very short-hand form of film critique. Watch out Ebert and Roeper.
