07/31/1998: Are you two married yet? ;-)

Posted By: geodesy


Wow, quite the interesting little discussion we have going on here, eh? Sounds like you two are the best of friends.

Ok, enough of that. I just rented the film and thought it was great. (BTW, I'm female) But, I seem to see the film differently than most. I didn't see it as a film on how evil men are to women, I saw it as a film on how one man (the 'frat-boy') manipulated and abused others around him. Remember, not only did he come up with and was the only real participant in the 'game' (the boss backed off), but frat-boy was simutaneously backstabbing his boss (remember how he sabotaged faxes? presentations? etc?) This wasn't an indictment against ALL men, it was a scathing portrayal of ONE man. In fact, the more I think of it, I believe that the entire ruse was a way of further breaking down his boss, a man he clearly resented.

In closing, let me just say: "Can't we all just get along?"
