Family Films!

Okay, still sober.
I saw a couple of movies last night. One was Rick, which was written by Daniel Handler. AKA childrens author Lemony Snickets. It wasn't bad but it was pretty much directly based on the opera Rigoletto, so if you're aware of that opera the movie is pretty predictable. I also saw a French movie called Bad Company. Jeeee-sus Christ. It's about this mousy teenage girl who starts dating this brooding bad-boy type. She decides she loves him, and he decides he wants to go live in Jamaica. His plan for raising the money to get there? She should sell blowjobs at 50 francs a pop! Aaaaaaahhhhh! Until they raise 20,000 francs! Aaaaaaahhhhhh! And she agrees! Aaaaaaahhhhhh! I mean, the onion said there was "shocking debasement," but there is "shocking debasement" and there is "shocking debasement," and then there is teenage girls whoring themselves in public toilets for their boyfriends.
All said and done, the movie was surprisingly sensitive, and didn't shirk away from the grisly consequences. It was kind of tough to watch, but I doubt I'll soon forget it.
Oh yeah, spoiler warning. Sorry.
