I agree on the awkward tone and the muddled message.
I kind of feel like the strong defenders of the movie are giving it too much credit--or at least reading more into it than I think Cronenberg ever earned.
I got a wicked case of the Church Giggles and almost got kicked out of the theater at A History of Violence during the scene that featured the Cheerleader 69ing.
In retrospect, I kind of wish I had been ejected so that I could've saved myself from watching the rest of that goddamn movie. (THIS WAS MY SUBTLE NOMINATION FOR A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. THANK YOU.)
I need to read more Teen Korner, I guess, because it took her saying "Balieber" three times before I figured out that she didn't just have a weird speech impedement.
I also like the gem: "I'm sick of your shit!" followed by "Ten minutes ago I didn't know who you are."
That is pretty fast to tire of anyone's shit, so she may have a point.
I'm on logic overload here!
"I don't care if you don't like Justin." Yes, clearly you DO NOT CARE in the least.
"I'm not a mean person... I will hit you over the head with a full wine bottle, cork and all."
I work at a restaurant and we catered a wedding a couple of weeks ago (think Party Down with the illusion of class). Towards the end, one of the guests and his date walked up to where some of us workers were standing and he thanked us and told us that he had a great time.
His date immediately pulled him back and loudly says, "WHY are you THANKING them? They're getting PAID." And she stomped off.
I almost turned into Chicken McNugget Lady right then, but somehow resisted.
Not only have I heard of 10 of the acts that are playing, I also actually like about 3 of them. Is this the point of the movie where I realize that I am Tyler Durden?
OH MY GOD REMEMBER WILLOW COMMENTING ON VAMP WILLOW: "I THINK I'M KINDA GAY" AND WHEN SPIKE SAYS TO BUFFY: "I SAVE YOU EVERY NIGHT IN MY DREAMS" AND WHEN ANYA SAYS TO XANDER: "THE ONLY THING WE HAVE IN COMMON IS WE BOTH LIKE YOUR PENIS" AND EEEEEE!!!!
Thanks to Netflix, I watched all 7 seasons of Buffy in a month and a half. That's 144 episodes at 43 minutes each in about 45 days, which equals CRAZY.
