on watching High Fidelity for the second time
I got it this time. I enjoyed it very much. and I actually finished it too. you may be shocked to know I turned off high fidelity the first time I watched. sometimes I'm a schizophrenic movie snob that way; and the difference between brilliant and barely tolerable is one minor mood swing away. well I was in a better mood this time. I also resisted pasting the plot of 'say anything' into HiFi, which helped tremendously. so let's not play the blame game. let's just enjoy another genious entry of my blog.
*cough*
( ahem----here goes).
the plot of high fidelity the first time I saw it:
Lloyd Dobler (John Cusack) gets screwed over by women enrout becoming every geek's personal Joan of Arc. A champion of originality----a statue of sanity in the middle of a teenage wasteland. Jack Black and that other guy co-star. And his girlfriend runs off with a pan-cuisine wielding jedi poneytail from southeast hawthorne. gerk
the plot of high fidelity the second time I saw it:
Rob (John Cusack), prince of the slackers, stands tall amidst the geeks of the GenX snob sect enrout getting rightfully dumped by his girlfriend. He then, in a moment of clarity, decides to become less of an asshole just enough to win her back. in the end he gets her fair hand in marriage, deciding his next mix tape should be for her enjoyment instead of her education, as saving the lost from musical ignorance was his previous self-righteous charge. Jack Black and that other guy make delightfull appearances. and Timothy Robins guest stars as that gross poneytail wearing curry-sniffing jedi from southeast hawthorne. gerk.
