Kissed
Mr. Cranky's rating:
What's the message here, guys? The stiffness of your unit andyour general usefulness are directly proportional.
It's no secret that men have been objectifying women for years. Consequently,
the average female in the movies is a big-breasted,
perfectly-shaped amazon goddess who's just waiting for Mr. Mediocre, Mr.
Low Self-Esteem and Mr. Small Penis (that's you) to come and sweep her
off her feet.
However, if there's one thing that gives decent men hope in the
world, it's that some women will hold to a higher standard while us dudes
are off masturbating to pictures of the Barbi twins. Why director Lynne
Stopkewich had to come along with her jumbled poem of a movie and expose
the fallacy of this thinking is anybody's guess.
Her protagonist, Sandra Larson (Molly Parker), is a weird bit of
woman, obsessed with death, dying and the dead. As a kid she finds dead
animals, buries them and does a dance. Sometimes she rubs them on
herself. As an adult, she gets a job as an embalmer and begins screwing
her corpses. What's the message here, guys? The stiffness of your unit and
your general usefulness are directly proportional.
This is all but confirmed when Sandra meets Matt (Peter
Outerbridge). She boinks him too but it's just not the same. Soon Sandra
is back with the dead guys and Matt is going crazy trying to figure out
how he can compete with rigor mortis. There's some blathering at the end about
the connection between love and death but it's all kind of moot by that point.
It's obvious that men shouldn't be thinking about that kind of
metaphorical crap anyway, since our only hope is to find a way to keep
that woody up forever.
Was it really that bad?
