benny bender

I watched this on tv while staying in hotels/motels for work. Watched most of it before check out at 11, and then the rest of it that night at another hotel. Then we kept running across bits of it throughout our trip. Honestly, a great movie to turn on and tune into on tv in a pretty decent Motel 6 (VERY decent for the price, TBH, great job scouring for the deal!). It's kind of like a new age "Logan's Run." Commercials are a good time to discuss what the heck you just watched. If you're lucky, there's a pool and, even if you didn't get to go swimming, a persistent smell of chlorine mixing with the musty smell of the air conditioner that you know you're not supposed to like, but you know you kind of do. Maybe the smell of chlorine is coming from your own hair, and the hotel towel didn't really dry you off (just like the soap didn't really help with the chlorine), and you're a little uncomfortably sticky in your pjs that you are finally comfortable wearing in front of your work partner (or maybe that's still a new feeling!), and you're both watching JT fight the bour·geoi·sie while falling in love with a debutante even though you know he is the bour·geoi·sie and will now never ever stay in a pretty decent Motel 6. HAS JT come a long way since Model Behavior? Why didn't you hear about this when it came out? Maybe you missed something, maybe you'll catch it tomorrow. I can't remember the ending, I do remember thinking "what a work around for someone who only wanted to cast babes" and "is there sexual tension between JT and his mom? could the actors just not push it down?" "do I think JT is sexy? not really, but charming? is charming sexy? attraction is wild." also, I loved the acting abilities of everyone in this movie, because I love fun. This is a fun action movie showing the relation we've created between time and money. And when you're stressed out and exhausted from your seasonal traveling sales job, it is strangely comforting and fun to see JT talking about it on an old tv while stretched out on an overly starched, undoubtedly germy bed.
