Blech
I know I am in the minority here, but enough with the "because I can make you laugh at violence and sadism, I'm saying something important" already. McDonagh is a fad. Even he must realize this as he has announced his 'retirement' from writing at 35.
I'm not saying he is without talent and I know he has many fans (Mr. Brantley included). For me, I would like to see him get over this juvenile obsession with violence, gore, sadism. The man can clearly write a play. His structure and form are great. I would just like to see him tackle something worthwhile. For the record I loved "Beauty Queen" - but one skull bashing a decade is enough for me, thanks.
