Red-Eye

This one's for all you Chicagoans.

Have you seen the movie Go? If not, it's great. One of the few Pulp Fiction rip-offs to actually make its own ripple in the public consciousness, and deservedly so.

Anyway, a character in the movie has a monologue about the singleframe comic strip Family Circus. He goes on and on about how much he hates it. He's enjoying the funny pages, laughing, having a grand old time. And then there's the Family Circus which, with it's sheer unfuniness, sucks all the joy out of his previous minutes of bliss.

Another character naturally asks why he reads it?

Because it's there.

This is how I feel about the Red-Eye.
