...many of its nontrivial themes about marriage, absent children, consumption (of life, of experience, of food, of products), and social stereotypes.” She writes that she also “felt that Buffini had written incredibly complex and beautifully multifaceted female characters” in contrast with the predominance of “meaty male roles.” Videt promises to provide a more abstract presentation of Buffini’s work. “I wanted to explore a more dreamlike sequence of events as the night draws on,” she writes.

The caliber of the cinematography immediately catches the viewer’s eye, as flashing bars of light signal the video’s opening and the noir-ish palette contrast is cleverly manipulated by rapid switches between black and white backgrounds in the dance scenes.

Straight people used to be obsessed with the dangers...

As spectator sports go, this is up there with a visit to the DMV or an ice hockey game. I figure they keep it dull to provide contrast with with the moment of 300 millionth American unveiling, just like how Jim Carrey movies are so stupid so he can look more funny in them. Or maybe it's so dull because America only wants people who desperately want to become citizens. If you don't have the stamina...
