I’d never seen it all the way through before. I’d expected to feel kind of “eh” about it, but I like Peter Riegert’s dry delivery more and more, and I really liked Boon and Otter’s scenes. But Belushi…I don’t get it, I just don’t. Do fans of his point to Bluto as an example of his genius? Because it didn’t seem like he had all that much to do, in the end; maybe it’s because <i>now</i> we’ve all seen that character done to death that I can’t plug into it. (10/27/03)
