Don't Spank the Monkey
19 August 2006
I found "Seamless" to be a difficult but rewarding film. As a paid entertainment critic in another life, it is a hobby of mine to scan IMDb trolling for the more amateur reviews. Gems like this flick are my reward. It is my educated guess the reviewers that panned this film so vehemently did so because of the film's greatest flaw...Shannon Elizabeth was cast in the lead. Little wonder that the crowd looking for a cheap date while they spank the monkey, missed the complexities of this homage to German structuralism. In this sad time, when a presidential corporate regime treats science as civil litigation, paying and then legitimizing the most marginal of experts with their PR think tanks, viewing a film like "Seamless" gives me hope. The director strikes a delicate, sweet note, a stark contrast to the stew of corporate regurgitated idiot food like "American Pie". There can be rewards watching a film that fails to respond to the manipulation of Corporate Demons.
