HBO has been showing more interesting movies lately. Maybe they've always done this, but for an example on a theme, they showed Show Me Love/F*cking �m�l tonight (which I watched) and the other night, they showed Better Than Chocolate, which I didn't watch that time, but I've seen and enjoyed. Now, you can pretty much show anything after midnight and Cinemax will draw all of the Anti-Adult-Content crowd's attention, but they showed Better Than Chocolate around 8 or 9pm. That's prime time lesbian cinema, mister!

Dang, now I'm going to get indexed when people look for the word "lesbian" on google. Lesbian, lesbian, lesbian. Let's mix it up a little. Lesbian peanut butter Crisco muppet pajamas!

Anyway, I also vaguely recall that they showed But I'm A Cheerleader, which had its moments, but overall, was pretty disappointing, so I didn't watch it.

Anyway, I just watched Show Me Love, and it was cute. It's a Swedish film from 1998, and, aside from being about lesbians (man, I'm racking up PageRank as we speak), was actually a pretty decent depiction of just how messed up teenage girls are. I don't mean that as a slam. It's a hard road, getting from ten to twenty years old with all those hormones going crazy all the time. We guys just want to bonk stuff (both senses of the word), and it's pretty straightforward. Girls, as ever, are a bit more subtle. Usually, when films portray young women going through emotional stress, they make them annoying as anything, which makes it hard to identify with them. It seems that there's a series of environmental inputs that leads to a completely unrelated behavioral output.

It's probably the same for women when they see two guys get into a fight. Sometimes we can't explain it beyond,"He did this thing, so I had to hit him." It's just chemicals.

Anyway, it was good, and I liked all of the characters. I ordered my copy of the DVD. Not that I'm especially comfortable saying,"Hey, Kat, I bought another teenage lesbian movie, this time, a swedish one."

At least it's not the weirdest thing about me, I guess. I'll wear her down yet.
