Yeah, that sounds right. Remind me about it. Highly regarded coming-of-age drama set in the early 1970s with an A-list cast and a top director, right?


Seems a bit detailed for a plot summary but go on.


Uh oh, I'm getting a bad feeling about this. Wasn't this just like a regular mainstream movie about dysfunctional families? I didn't remember it being a Cinemax soft-core movie.


You're going to give a scene by scene description of everything in this movie, aren't you?


Oh yeah, while mentioning sex in every sentence if possible.


Dunno about Wendy but I'll getting visibly bored by all this detail. Where is this headed, editor?


gently caress me, I'm bored. I remember quite enjoying this movie. How have you turned this film into something simultaneously salacious and teeth-grindingly tedious?





I'd pull you up for the encyclopedia phrase "out of commission for the evening" but you're not even trying to conceal that fact that this is fanfic novelisation, are you?


Welcome back to the plot. Any chance we could stick around that for a bit? Please.



I know that sex is used a plot dynamic and a means to expose interpersonal tensions but I think its the characters and tensions we're supposed to be interested in, not the sex. I mean, unless we watched different movies. Which apparently we did. Wikipedia entry about mainstream movie featuring detailed description of underage characters? Hmmm, seeing a trend much?
