the random white circles and snowmen? perfect touch.

Swingers, with Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, and that guy from Office Space. As the movie began, I reflexively had thoughts of not liking it - it seeming to be about one really pathetic character, as much as I've been nigh exactly where he was, I just didn't want to sit through another experience of it, and some of the people I normally consider rank asshats. I warmed up to it over the course of the movie though, on account of little things, like in-narrative callbacks, the bit of metafictional element, and the characters actually seeming to really care about each other, and their shallowness actually stripping them any maliciousness I might have ascribed. That is, their attitudes towards women and a sundry of other things were varying degrees of superficial or immature, but they seemed somewhat nice at heart. So it was kind of true to life, to me, except with relatively nice guys maybe trying to be kind of jerky because they think they have to, which is actually nicer than the more true jerks in real life.

Also, there are a lot of little lessons for social life in it, in a whole spectrum of painfully-bad to kind of jerky, with the nice ones in the middle. That is, I know it might be easy to knee-jerk pass it off as about guys trying to manipulate girls, and, well, some of it is. But there are little things like when the girl sasses or asks what car the guy drives, we immediately saw how the response could have been better as a sass back, or a rejoinder with mirrored disdain, because that's where the narrative directed our thoughts. Or the attitude of confidence to go into meeting a complete stranger with, say. Anyhoo, interesting.

Wow, the wife of the French president is gorgeous, who knew?
