the skulls = is it pretentious for me to suggest that the writing wasn’t subtle enough? January 11, 2006
I know, it’s just a cheap thrill-er, but so many relationships were just way too blatantly and awkwardly established through annoying meta-dialogue.
“I am angry with you for joining the Skulls!”
“Please don’t be.”
“And yet I am. And now I am going to storm out of the room. See how mad I am?”
(paraphrased)
Plus, McNamara is such an AFC. He lives with a pretty, intelligent girl with obvious sexual tension for how long without acting on it? And then she finally has to just take matters into her own hands.
All in all, when I could manage to suspend my disbelief and cynicism for long enough, I enjoyed the flick. Plus it gave me a bonding moment with the checkout guy and the bagger at Jewel last night when they brought the movie up.
