Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Humpday (2009)

I am so surprised at how much I liked this movie. It took a while for me to get into it -- at first I was put off by the plot device of having a comfy life turned upside down by an invader. I also don’t really like the "dude...we’re soooo unsquare..." vibe of the California artist-types.

But then something profound happened. Two guys drunkenly decide to enter an arty porn film competition by taping two straight guys (them) having sex. The aftermath of the decision and their conflicting emotions surrounding it (am I too inhibited to do it? Is he living a more open life than I am?) were just fascinating. I believed it all and wound up just in love with the whole thing.
