We've had Chinatown out of Netflix for three months now. I put it in the queue because it's one of those things every movie buff ever loves to reference, and I felt like I ought to see it. Now after my spate of screenwriting books in March, I know the whole plot, and I have it here in a little red envelope, but I haven't gotten around to actually watching it. Why? Probably because I know it will be depressing/disturbing. We err on the side of silliness in this household, and rarely end up watching the horribly dramatic masterpieces we feel we ought to (for instance, even though I thought City of God was excellent, I haven't ever actually said that Moss should watch it with me).

So. This is getting ridiculous. It's cost us roughly $15.00 to keep it in the house unwatched for this long, so I am doing the only sensible thing: creating a poll!

Poll #1216739 Forget it Julia, It's Chinatown!

Should I send it back today, unwatched?

Do you love this movie?

Sway me?
