Finished watching RSVP today. It was good and I liked it, but watching Glenn Quinn still made me a little sad. Especially knowing - after I did a little research last night - that it was his last film.

But I'd kind of rather discuss the movie a bit. 'Cos it was good. It's about a party, and the host kills off all his guests. Relax, that's not a spoiler, because there are two slasher movie conventions that RSVP throws out the window.

* We know the killer's identity from the beginning.
* The deaths are, for the most part, quick and simple (often inventive, but simple), not bloody, wrenching, and drawn out over an entire scene. Even the most viscerally unpleasant (as opposed to psychologically disturbing) murder is positively tame compared to, say, the Scream trilogy.

So what's left? Well, there's humour. Character-building conversation. A good old-fashioned brawl which probably has the most blood in the movie. There's the sense of cognitive dissonance that comes from seeing Jay without Silent Bob. (I'm not saying Jason Mewes can't do any other character. I'm saying that the character as scripted is basically Jay, so Mewes doesn't really bother trying to play another character.)

And there's probably loads of stuff that only becomes meaningful upon viewing number two.

It's kind of an odd movie, and the villain-reveals-his-motive scene has already been done (Kevin Williamson took a stab [sorry] at it about six years ago), but it's worth a try. I enjoyed myself. Be sure to check out the deleted scenes for added insight into what the writer/director was going for. And probably the commentary, too, but I haven't watched that yet.

And, yes, Glenn Quinn did a fantastic job.

Witness the rare breaking of my three-viewings/readings-minimum rule.



TITLE: "Sanguine"
AUTHOR: catslash
RATING: PG-13 for slightly squicky imagery.
FANDOM: RSVP
PAIRING: Nick Collier/Hal Evans
SUMMARY: A fleeting moment.
NOTES: Written for the contrelamontre food challenge in thirty-nine minutes. It sort of has food in it, if you maybe squint a little and tilt your head to the left . . .
DISCLAIMER: Mark Anthony Galluzzo wrote and directed it. I was not there.


I would never dream of dedicating this bit of nonsense to Glenn Quinn, but, since RSVP was his last film, I wanted to mention his name anyway. *raises glass in a silent toast*



( It made for a big and shiny display, but it was for amateurs. )

Your match is Slashy!Norrington, the Norrington
that ends up lusting after Jack Sparrow or
Governor Swann. His mood changes quickly, and
he often has a nasty streak or a fetish for
chains. That's ok though, some like it kinky.
Do you?
