    <ascends soapbox>  Oh, trust me, you don't need to not play the games to
still be confused by the movie (or that sentence, for that matter...).  Every
aspect of the movie was poorly written.  And as to the comment on bad
acting...well, I never thought Alec Baldwin and Steve Buscemi where bad
actors--rather the opposite, in fact.  The problem was the writing.  Anybody
would sound terrible with the dialog they were given.  I really wish I could
think up some specific examples, but it's been a fairly long time...  Kind of
like if you got someone like Anthony Hopkins to say, "Quick!  Use my hyper
rod to save the day!"  It's just a stupid line.  Such is my opinion.
