...chest can have that kind of mass cultural impact, the thinking goes, then movies, far from being just passive entertainments, can influence audiences to change their behavior in more significant ways. If a movie can doom undershirts, can't it also end war, poverty, global warming, torture, obesity, junk mail...
...memory...they don’t watch the film and compare and imitate them, it’s just a sort of collective, vague memory that they’re all sharing,” he says. “And then the fact that they recycle all the junk, the location that surrounds them, they recycle themselves in a way, and their friends.” In creating a locally-inspired style that was coherent for the film, Gondry recycled the environs of Passaic, N.J., where the movie takes place.

We're indulgent toward junk that deserves to go direct to DVD. We want to save our fulminations for later in the year, and unleash them on failed films with bigger budgets and higher ambitions. But Untraceable really is disgraceable. It's bad enough when a movie offers up atrocity scenes that would make the Nanking soldiers seem like Hannah Montana; it's repellent when the movie dresses up the sadism in a moral...
