DRUNKS OF THE WEEK
Loek -trying hard- at Kati and Tuula's
Liz -not trying at all- at Bull's
Mystery Party at Tulip Tree
Directed by Mr Clean. Starring Kati, Tuula, friends and one black sheep.
Saturday, Dec. 13. Kati and Tuula had organized a Pre-Christmas Party at their place, #610 at Tulip Tree. The party turned great, our hosts had thought about everything: groggi, liquorice liquor, beer, pop corn, music, etc. but a couple of things: beer fight -what???-, hyper-sensitive neighbors and, worst of all, bathroom vandalism... Someone indeed had "unwound" in their bathroom. The police came later in the night to check this out and search for clues. Informal sources revealed shortly afterwards that investigations were in progress and that a few suspects had been questioned already. As a 100c-reward had been announced and laboratory tests had been proceeded too, it seemed that the culprit was likely to be apprehended by the end of the week. But sometimes, things just don't go the way you expect them to...
A most thrilling suspenseful movie that simultaneously highlights the anguishies of today's society. The metaphoric use of bathroom vandalism perfectly renders the mal de vivre of our century as the hero is torn between his values and social pressure. Mr Clean has successfully reached a Golden Mean with this entertaining-but-psychological-at-the-same-time-all- audience masterpiece of humanity that reminds us that life is a tragedy for those who feel. Also, Kati's character is particularly convincing in her desperate quest for truth. The viewer sympathizes with her straight from the beginning.

Now, here's the critical review -assuming that the results haven't been fixed... :-)
Did you know for instance:
- you all voted for different weirdest guys in the 1st round?
- you all virtually voted for me as the weirdest girl as from the 1st round? (which I definitely take as a compliment)
- "weird" is not the right translation for the category I was thinking about? (the French word is "space" and it basically means "more or less deliberately disconnected from reality")
Also, do you know:
- such elections are very common in French Graduate Schools? (there are just many more categories that additionally might be (much) more or less appealing...)
- it's 8:12am right now?
Lastly, do you sometimes wonder:
- why those elections?
- why everything else?
- why? (shall I go on?)

More generally speaking, there might well be some new hot stuff in the future. Next release is planned on January 5, 1998.
Until then, have a great Christmas holiday and don't forget to sign my guestbook (now that I have one)!
