"Crash" and the Other "Crash"

Posted by Emily Farris

A couple years ago, we were flipping channels with then-boyfriend and came upon "Crash." Thinking it was the film that had recently won all of the awards, we watched and watched and watched waiting for something really compelling and deep to happen. Also we were waiting for Matt Dillon to appear on screen. About halfway through, we realized we were watching soft porn and we were not going to see Matt Dillon that night. We might have realized this sooner had we not smoked so much pot. After a quick IMDB search we learned we were watching the nineties "Crash," in which Rosanna Arquette plays a disabled woman who gets hot over car accidents. We didn't watch the entire thing, but Heather Mills (who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident) did and she is "disgusted" by it.

In case you didn't know why any of this matters, Rosanna Arquette and Paul McCartney are an item, and these are the kinds of things you have to say 10 years after the fact when you're going through a messy public divorce. But you already knew that.

"Crash" is art-house soft-core genius. Knowing crippled Mills was offended by it makes it hotter.

Rosanna Arquette is a very nice lady, and Crash is a decent film. Mills is one uptight chick ! jeeze lighten up.

I loved that movie. I believed I was the only person in the world who did, frankly.
