The Fidelity Wars

I am hungry. I am always hungry. It's likely because I haven't eaten a decent meal in the past two days. Last night, I planned to have this really great dinner, but one of my new roommates (no, not you, the other one) wanted to go see a movie. Shit, I'm usually always game to see a movie. I haven't seen so many in the past few weeks though cuz it's been really busy (though I did see batman returns and really liked it). Hey, maybe I'll watch mean streets again from netfilx today. Ooops, sorry, i'll try to stay focused. So, anyway, I end up going to this movie and being Sunday night, all the food places (in some cultures, these are also known as "restaurants") were closed. Jerks. So I end up going to this movie hungry. Not good.

I have been out of the loop (see previous posts re:"lack of internet" and "really busy") and hadn't heard of the movie but it was called "My Summer of Love". I was told it was a "coming of age" film, it was foreign and had two cute girls in it that fall in love. Nuff said, I can read between the lines; my roommate expected loads of girl on girl action, and hey, i can't say that i'm above that...so there we are.

And true to form, it did have two girls fall in love, and there was some partial nudity. And sure, one of the girls I found to be ridiculously beautiful. But, during the course of the whole movie, I was really kind of annoyed at the idyllic and pastoral love affair of the rich girl back from school and the kinda dirty low down Yorkshire girl with the ex-con brother that recently found Jesus. Ugh. on and on. the lesbians in the theatre bubbly over the derogatory remarks about the characters previous boyfriend; the hippie book club women to our right, giddy over the whole love affair and I dunno...the blooming of the yoni or something. For fuck sake. I thought the characters were trite and boring and actually hoped for more nudity just to take my mind off it. But then [**spoiler alert**]in the last THREE MINUTES of the movie, everything falls apart and the "saved" brother beats his sister up and rejects the Lord, the "poor girl" then goes to the "rich girl's" house to find that everything she has told her was a lie, they meet out in the forest at their secret spot to make up and the "poor girl" tries to murder the "rich girl", then walks home more self assured than at any other point in the movie. Now THAT's a better ending than the "Thelma and Louise" ending I was picturing. Well, it did better at the end, but I can't say i'd recommend the movie as a whole. Yep, I'm really on my soapbox today.
