Stephen: [walking out] Wow, Kyle, you are not very good at suspending your disbelief. I saw you grimacing through the whole last hour of the movie.
Kyle: I’m sorry! I know you were enjoying it, so I didn’t want to say anything.
Stephen: Well, you’d better say the things now while i’m in my state of euphoria. also, i’ve already prepared arguments to most of the things that you were making faces about.
Kyle: I know you did. i can see you making them right now.
Stephen: Good.
[During the movie, i asked kyle if this was Macaulay Culkin.]
Kyle: Ug, i’m so mad at Wallace Wells!
Stephen: Why? he was funny. he was gay without being affeminate, he made bacon and cocoa.
Kyle: Yeah, but he was such a bad person! He was having sex with all those guys while he had a boyfriend. Some of them two at a time, and then stalking that other guy.
Stephen: I think that his oversexed personality was negated by the fact that he shared a bed with Scott the whole time. You think he was having sex with all those guys while Scott was there?
Kyle: Yes! and even when they went to Knives’ school, he was all “Tell me about this boy with the glasses.”
Stephen: That was After he said he didn’t want to be there. If it was a hot girl roommate that slept around would you care as much?
Kyle: Yes. I would say that she would also be a horrible person. In fact, everyone in this movie was pretty horrible. No one really learned anything, except some of the main characters at the end.
Stephen: Well, Kyle some characters are called FLAT CHARACTERS, and they don’t change their personality in a story. then there are other characters called ROUND CHARACTERS ::hand motions:: And they can grow and develop.
Kyle: [glares, but laughs]
Stephen: So even though Wallace Wells is a slut, we have other (sort of) positive portrayals of gays in this movie. My favorite part of the whole thing was Ann Veal and Ramona fighting at the afterparty
Kyle: That was cool. But, the fighting parts were only 10% of the movie, and those were the only parts I liked.
Stephen: “You were bicurious??!? WELL I”M BI-FURIOUS!!!”
Kyle: That was pretty funny.
Stephen: I’m really glad that the only evil X that had a theme song was Matthew Patel. I was going to leave if they all had songs.
Kyle: I would not have stopped you. In the comic book, his indie chicks do more attacks and the band fights back.
Stephen: I read that part. I’ve read excerpts from a lot of these books, and never really liked it. The author just seems way too excited about himself. I’m glad that the movie toned down some of the characters’ self-absorption.
Kyle: It could have been toned down a bit more, if you ask me.
Stephen: I feel like in the bedroom scene, they were trying to distract us with Ramona Flowers’ ASS while they had some bad writing/dialogue issues.
Kyle: I agree with that. Also, she was just like that girl from 500 Days of Summer, but not a nerd.
Stephen: [ug, that whore] But Zooey is still a big nerd in that movie, too.
Kyle: An engineering nerd.
Stephen: Whatever. Ramona doesn’t really do a lot in the movie. she just stands around, and makes Scott beat up people. She’s that girl that goes away, and then randomly appears places. It’s almost like parts of this story are AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL.
Kyle: NO!
Stephen: Yes.
Kyle: That would explain why we had to watch Scott sit on a swing for a whole 10 minutes in the snow.
Stephen: Since this movie is based on Kill Bill, I would say that I liked it better when Uma Thurman had to punch her way out of that grave. Same character development occurred, but it was so much more dynamic.
Kyle: That scene was so uncomfortable. As in, I felt like I was in the ground the whole time.
Stephen: Yes, but instead, we got 10 min. of Michael Cera on a swing.
Stephen: I really liked Audrey Plaza. She was a good character. I especially liked her self-filtering mouth.
Kyle: Yeah, that was funny. I didn’t like Jason Schwartzman, though
Stephen: Me either. I don’t think that was a good casting choice. Maybe that character should have been played by-
Kyle: Michael Cera?
Stephen: NO, because he doesn’t have a chin. no. we need someone else like that guy. that guy from Charlie’s Angles and Choke.
Kyle: Crispin Glover?
Stephen: no. not him. it’s rock-something. rockafeller? no. [I was thinking of Sam Rockwell.]
The other thing I liked was the way that they portrayed the music and how it sounds and feels when I go to a rock concert.
Kyle: I didn’t get that connection.
Stephen: When did you go to a rock concert?
Kyle: I’ve been to shows, here, and with your friends’ bands and-
Stephen: no, but when have you been to a Rock Concert.
Kyle: I guess I have not been to one.
Stephen: But yeah, that’s what it feels like. It makes shapes and colors come to life, and you feel the vibrations all the way through yourself. It’s a good time.
Kyle: I guess.
Stephen: Maybe you are too old. The newspaper said that this movie scares children and makes older people upset.
Kyle: It’s possible. I just really didn’t like most of it.
Stephen: I did think a lot of it was really stereotyped and kind of racist. But it’s from Canada. Things are different in Canada.
Kyle:…
Stephen: I think I liked it so much, because it was a collage of a lot of movies I like. [Harry Potter, Whip It, Kill Bill, Runaways, etc.]
Kyle: As long as I don’t have to like it, we’re ok.
This is why we are able to go to these movies.
