Movie review by proxy: The Heart is Deceitful...

The very brave and selfless Thomas Roche went where no one has gone before -- and where very few people are likely to go: he sat through, and reviews the "J.T. LeRoy"-adapted film The Heart is De Seat Full of All Things. (Thanks to Violet Blue for the link.)

So, the short version: This "not at all autobiographical" "fiction" is, and I'm putting this as delicately as I can, in close competition for the title of "Most Egregiously Ridiculous Piece of Shit the Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Have Ever produced." Hell!! It may be the most egregiously ridiculous piece of human culture ever created, though I'm sure there's some pretty bad cave paintings out there.

As such, Deceitful really should blow Showgirls out of the water as the ideal drunken-screaming-queen date movie, and in many ways is just begging for the Rocky Horror Picture Show treatment. I, for one, spent the last half of the movie sketching out my Halloween costume.

I'm sure that makes it sound a lot more fun than it is. You know how they say we're all supposed to "support the troops?" Roche deserves combat pay, and perhaps some R&R, for his sacrifice.
