Almost There

The film for Indie Film CC this week was Me, You, and Everyone We Know. I didn't like it, although it had a few good scenes. It was a heaping portion of pure awkward, with a lot of poorly-done pomo symbolism thrown in on top.

Took my final for Social Psych today, and that went well.

I also took my quiz for ProbStat and didn't do nearly as well as I would have hoped. The final for that class is the last one I have to take. Guess I need to get some help reviewing for that one. x_x

Wow, I was unaware that it was possible to not like that film.

Thinking about it, there's so much that's so well done about that film. It's possible I just wasn't in the right sort of mood...

The defining scene, for me, was when Nancy (the art director) is looking at slides for the show, the one with the kid with "any day now" or something like that written in the scars on his chest. To paraphrase:
Lackey: "It's about AIDS, isn't it? What's that got to do with life in a digital world"
Nancy: "There wouldn't be email without AIDS, you know" *trails off into something about "bodily fluids", then says that she needs a break*

And I'm like, wow, what a bunch of pomo crap. And then my second thought was that this scene could be a metaphor for the movie as a whole. My third thought was what if the movie's director knew that. If that's true, then all the overdone symbolism in the movie is self-satirizing, and the whole thing is quite brilliant.

But still, I didn't enjoy it...

Thats too bad that you felt that way, but you're entitled to your opinion I suppose
