It was pushing 9:30, so our options were few.

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring: It got five N’s, but the review mentioned a boy and a Buddhist monk, so I nixed it.

The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi: My crack computer repair team thought it wasn’t really my style. I told him he didn’t know me that well and that I actually kind of liked this sort of thing. But my crack computer repair team wasn’t really that into it.

The Corporation: My crack computer repair team had seen a bunch of it.

Love Me If You Dare: French, Romantic, the poster had kissing. “It will be French and cheerful and French,” I said. I was in the mood for something cheerful.

I knew it was about a couple of kids who played a game with dares, and grew up to fall in love, with the game increasing in stakes, in the “same supersaturated France as Amélie which sounded sweet, but I guess I kind of skimmed the part of the review that called it “A warm, funny testimony to the terrible destructive power of love.”

And the first half is very sweet. These two kids do all these bad, but sort of funny, mischievious things and you just know they’re going to fall in love. So imagine my surprise when it turns out to be a dark comedy in which the couple BURIES THEMSELVES IN CEMENT AT THE END.

Nothing ever works out for me.
