This is another one that came out while I was working at the video store. Everyone that worked there then, except me, was going to school with hopes of working in film or stage productions. I was studying to be a mechanical engineer. They all loved this one, “The cast! Mamet! It’s so meta!” but for some reason it just didn’t feel like something I’d enjoy. Part of it was the box-art. Alec Baldwin and Sarah Jessica Parker front and center just isn’t going to get me to put the tape in the VCR, but I also didn’t fully trust those art school kids.
