On Turkey Tuesdays, I warn you off bad films with good reputations. This Tuesday, though, I'm warning you off being warned off My Own Private Idaho. It's one of Gus van Sant's most famous and popular films, and features River Phoenix in his most celebrated role. It's also ignominiously pretentious and extremely dull. But then there's that reputation! There must be a reason for My Own Private Idaho's popularity. So whatever that may be, it's up to you to discover. Just don't say I didn't warn you! ... actually I didn't, did I?
