...from the Harvard Class of 2010 “friended” me on Facebook. I scoured his profile to find any connection we might have. Same hometown? No, he’s from someplace in New Jersey; I’m from Phoenix. Same academic interest? Not that either??he’s a physics concentrator. I’m a literature and arts kind of girl. I further investigated his profile for kicks. Surprise, surprise, he is a member of “The Class of 2010” group. And surprise, surprise, the group?...
...setup only allows for café-style drinks and cold dishes—no pizza ovens or deep fryers here—so the culinary enticement will have to stretch beyond oil.

All right, maybe that last one doesn’t merit too much attention either??but anything would be better than listening to people repeat the same things about final clubs, year after year, punch season after punch season, ad infinitum. So from now on, when any new final club “news” arises, let’s just give...
...camera cuts back and forth between parallel scenes of two mobile pairs of shoes cleverly establishing the personalities of their owners. It’s an allusion to the preface of Hitchcock’s “Strangers on a Train” (and no accident either??Hanson’s 1990 film “Bad Influence” drew heavily from the film), and a bit of bravado direction that sharply highlights the movie’s central metaphor...
