Why does every self-styled film connoisseur have such a throbbing hate boner for the muh-rican Vanilla Sky? Is the original really that superior or is it just another iteration of hipsters trying too hard to sound smart by blanket-stating that the original (also the book) is always better, even if they couldn't argue for more than 5 seconds as to why that applies in this case?

the first 40 minutes play like a shitty rom com but from there it gets interesting. Completely understandable to not like the film.if you're a pleb lol

True. But good things happen for those who wait.

because cameron crowe makes bland, pedestrian, sentimentally overwrought crap over and over again. Beyond the premise this is just more of his usual shit.
I liked the soundtrack.
Radiohead.
Jeff Buckley.
Sigur Ros right at the end.

That's exactly what it is. The soundtrack of the US version alone is enough to make it better.

Absolutely not. Magnolia was his best and it stands pretty much alone out there.
