Quotes

Brautigan: Man, of course men gives better blow jobs! Listen, I know what it feels like to get my dick sucked, right? And I know what I like when I get my dick sucked. So when I'm sucking a dick, I know that what I'm doing is what I like and that is the best of it that can be done.

rock on

have seen this movie three times now. excellent. mary-louise parker is so sexy.

and this piece is wild. it has a wicked sensibility. funny. the writer is very in tune. there's some beautiful flashback home movie stuff. but mostly gorgeous 35mm.

i assume this was done independently... fantastic acting, and it moves. well let's just come out and say it: it's hot.
