Next be sure to take advantage of your two biggest loser friends—the pimpled liquor store clerk who procures the alcohol and the idiot video store checker who fashions himself the next Quentin Tarantino when he talks about ‘operatic violence’ in Sergio Leone westerns. From the latter, be sure to get a free rental copy of Save the Last Dance. Do not, under any circumstances, pay hard-earned cash to see this film. Don’t even use money from your trust fund...
