Big Fan

I watched Big Fan last night in the comfort of my own home, and while watching it I was amused and bizarrely pleased at the thought that people who saw it in the theater paid around $10 to watch Patton Oswalt (pictured above) not only masturbate once, but later attempt to masturbate and fail. That's as gutwrenching as anything you'll see in Romanian cinema. Please don't let that spoiler keep you from watching this movie, which has many more psychologically disturbing things happening in it, an uncomfortable look at homo-erotic sports and celebrity obsession, and a fairly dismal view of large swaths of American culture in general, but still manages to be funny and empathetic toward people you wouldn't want to know too intimately in real life.
