I've got to see this! It's on Kanopy, so I'll probably watch it tonight (if I ever get caught up here).
When I was young and did such things, my band was called Otherwise Nice Guys. But I've come to see that many "nice guys" are actually the worst! I don't generally think it is because they are horrible. It's mostly because they are inexperienced. But I think everything is very individual. And I hate when people say things like, "Girls don't like nice guys!" In my experience, they mostly do. But romance is messy. It's one of the biggest reasons I like being old!
Stephen Frears directed an excellent version of Dangerous Liasons!
When someone’s inexperienced and socially awkward, I feel for them. (Like the quiet bald guy in High Fidelity.) And I think it’s not uncommon to have a lovely girl you know who keeps falling for jerks and would never fall for you. But you have to realize, that’s because she’s being shallow… and you’re being shallow if you don’t stop mooning over her, and instead try to meet people you share some core values with.
I think you’d enjoy just what a rotten little dingus this main character is. And the key mistake he makes is perfect.

I love those in-camera effects!
