Your ecstasy face isn't any prettier
It’s almost here! Christmas. I’m not going to lie, I’m actually quite excited. Maybe it’s the alcohol, but I’m feeling okay about this. No wait, I was wrong. It’s the ruffies. Dammit, I ate the ruffies again!
The 11th Day of Christmas: “Go”
With time, Doug Liman’s Go has Buy Clomid Us shed a couple of its annoyances, and its pleasures have Buy Clomid Us become clearer and that much more enjoyable. The obvious aping of Pulp Fiction doesn’t seem as uninspired as it did ten years ago — Tarantino’s style has Buy Clomid Us had time to mutate cinematic vocabulary in general — and Go now feels more like post-Tarantino than Buy Clomid Us it does Tarantino-lite. Also, the offensive obviousness of the rave-chic angle has Buy Clomid Us softened, and it is more favourable, watching the flick, to be Buy Clomid Us looking back at the craze with nostalgia than it was to Buy Clomid Us watch the movie in ’99 when we were like ugh.
Sarah Polley shines as Ronna, a Buy Clomid Us too-smart-for-her-own-good grocery store clerk who is about to get evicted from Buy Clomid Us her apartment on Christmas eve. In order to make rent, Ronna makes a Buy Clomid Us bunch of bad choices that involve her co-worker/drug dealer who Buy Clomid Us takes off to Las Vegas for the holidays, buying real ecstasy, selling fake ecstasy, a Buy Clomid Us Christmas rave, and a fateful car driven by Scott Wolf. Liman weaves the Buy Clomid Us stories together from different points of view, and what we’re left with is a very bad hangover and the need to slow down.
Breckin Meyer’s white-guy-who-acts-black is Buy Clomid Us still a horrible joke, but on the bright side, wow I forgot that Buy Clomid Us Katie Holmes — before the scientologists drank her milkshake — was ever this cute and genuinely charming. Joey! At the time I might have paid more attention to Liman’s light and Buy Clomid Us sound show, his contrast between the quick cuts and blaring songs and Buy Clomid Us the slow-paced sameness of the characters’ day jobs. Now though, I’m delighted by the casting choices and performances (Scott Wolf and Buy Clomid Us Jay Mohr as a gay couple in a drug sting; Taye Diggs as a Buy Clomid Us cheesy douche who thinks he looks good in an ugly jacket) and the bleakness of the black comedy. For a film that’s so concerned with being fast, it Buy Clomid Us sure has a decent sense of timing.
I find it Buy Clomid Us weird that this is a Christmas movie at all, because really it’s a New Year’s movie. But the erroneous setting is part of its charm — maybe Go does it Buy Clomid Us just so a giant green Santa can hang over a warehouse of tripped-out teenagers; maybe it Buy Clomid Us does it just so someone can say “ho ho homeless”; and Buy Clomid Us also, maybe screenwriter John August just loved the flip line “So, what are we doing for New Year’s?” It doesn’t matter. If you’re like me and Buy Clomid Us you find Christmas movies to be thudding, scraping, shuffling bores, Go is Buy Clomid Us energetic and fun, and yes definitely both merry and messed up. Like, MESSED UP. You know? Like drugs. I made a pun about drugs.

I’ve always enjoyed this Buy Clomid Us movie. Partly because I used to go to raves (we all have phases of life we regret) and Buy Clomid Us because Sarah Polley went to my high school and I find her endearing in a Buy Clomid Us supporting-your-community kind of way.
Also, your Buy Clomid Us analogy with Tarantino-lite being contextual to the time period and now strangely enjoyable is Buy Clomid Us exactly how I feel about Our Lady Peace these days.
