No, Stim, I didn't expect it to be a good film. I'd certainly never have gone to see it at the theatre. But a good friend lent it to me, you see.... so I thought, "Well, okay, I guess I'll give it a try."

I was expecting it to be a not very good film, possibly with some funny moments here and there. It turned out to be far worse than that. ;-) Which is why I only ended up watching half of it.

I've been watching the TV series "Glee" lately which the same friend lent me. I like some of the musical performances...and some of the characters too. But again, the script writing is really of the same type we've been discussing...the absurd, exaggerated confrontations between extreme stereotypes...and that gets pretty tedious after awhile. It's scriptwriting aimed at an adolescent mindset, and not a very smart adolescent mindset at that.

I enjoy the character "Rachel" in "Glee", though. She's an interesting girl, and a simply phenomenal singer. I'd have fallen madly in love with her type back in High School...matter of fact, there was a girl a lot like her in my school, a really bright girl who didn't fit the typical "cheerleader" mode at all, and I really had a thing about her at the time. She even looked rather like "Rachel" (Lea Michelle), she was serious, and she was smart. I've always liked smart women. She became the class valedictorian in senior year. What has become of her since, I have no idea, but I imagine she did well in life.
