"Lose it? I didn't lose it. It's not like, "Whoops! Where'd my job go?" I QUIT. Someone pass me the asparagus." - Lester Burnham

 

The Faculty
Who would have thought of selling drugs in pen cases? I mean. It is a good camouflage - Hey , wanna buy a pen for your exam? - and it is fucking convenient. You just unscrew the cap and take a big sniff.

You probably saw it coming. Perhaps it is some reverse psychology thing: the production team knows everyone will suspect the new kid in town is the cause of all the hoo-haa, so they might as well just lay in on the table and say "No, it is not me". But then, it is her. But. But. You said. Hah. Never believe a writer.

It is one of those movies that brought together the few biggest stars in current times. Robert Patrick (as Coach Joe Willis). Salma Hayek (as Nurse Rosa Harper). Famke Janssen (as Elizabeth Burke). Clea Duvall (as Stokely). Josh Hartnett (as Zeke). Elijah Wood (as Casey). Oh look, Jon Stewart (as Prof Edward Furlong). And what the heck is Usher doing in there?

American Beauty
I am familiar with Peter Gallagher (as Buddy Kane) the most as Sandy Cohen in The OC. It is refreshing to see him with white hair and a loss of cheery chirpy Cohen-ness.

Parents should stop hiding their secrets because the children can just see right through you. Whether you are a homophobic gay (yes, this is intended) marine officer or a horny father who jacks off to his daughter's hot friend.

Barbara Fitts (Allison Janney) is one character that got to me. A mind lost due to old age, but yet exchanged with a peace of mind away from the problems the people around her faced. When her son, Ricky (Wes Bentley) said goodbye to her after having an argument with his dad that resulted in him being kicked out, the mother did not try to hold him back but merely said "Don't forget your raincoat" - for it was raining outside - and leaned her face forward when he gave her a peck on the cheek. I guess it was self-explanatory.
