Perhaps, Roger L. Simon, this explains the demise of an "indie" movie:
It's easy to get fooled by the surface of Kwik Stop—the semi-deadpan tone to some scenes; the debt to road-movie iconography—you think that you've seen its like before. It takes a while to realize that this is a road movie in which nobody goes anywhere—at least nowhere they want to go. We've seen it before, and nobody goes anywhere. Sounds like a scintillating movie! For the umpteenth time, guys, MOVIES STINK because our culture stinks, our education stinks, our shores aren't being flooded by brilliant immigrants, it isn't a new medium anymore -- and we've all become too self-centered for inspiration to happen, except for STINKIER MOVIES.
