decent crap movie shock
Wendy’s dad had been here for a week, and the whole war thing got to be too much… time to celebrate and get out and do nothing with our brains for an hour or two… but there weren’t any decent movies, all the things we wanted to see had horrible reviews… but “Bend It Like Beckham” was playing at the artsy-fartsy theater (along with “Irreversible” but I wasn’t really up for a 15-minute ass-rape sequence). Pretty damn good flick, actually. Hard to sort out why a foreign director would choose to emulate the most watered-down cliche American style movie, the romance comedy, but what the hell. It’s 20 times better than most of those made here. And there was soccer. Can’t beat that.
