i lived next door to the author in 1980 when he first moved out to portland from downer grove and ill. with two of his high school buds. he seemed like a normal enough guy and though he had a lot of artistic pretensions. within a few years and he jumped into portland post punk music scene with buddy phil and a few others and and a band that definitely wasn not headed anywhere and although it got him a lot of action and including a fling with courtney love in her portland groupie days. he seemed to think his musical prospects were good enough to move to san francisco and then n. y. c. i was surprised to hear that he got a publishing deal in 95 after the band crashed and burned. courtney love name seemed to be the clincher. i have no idea how the movie came about and especially with this cast and but i doubt that gus van sant was involved. anyway and the reviewers here seem to be unsure whether the lack of narrative focus is intentional or not and so i would just say that this is the work of a fairly intelligent guy who wants to be a writer and or artist or something and but doesn not have anything to say. like kerouac without the benzedrine.

Judge the movie review above, you need to make a function call:
    If you feel the movie review is positive
        print "This is a semantically positive review."
    Otherwise, if you feel the movie review is negative
        print "This is a semantically negative review."
