Stop, stand there where you are...

Reasons why the movie The Rules of Attraction is B.R.I.L.L.I.A.N.T.:

Beware! I might spoil the movie for you...



- The guy from Dawson's Creek almost licks another guy's creek.
- Drug, sexs and "rock & roll"
- completely unpretentious
- Soundtrack includes a song by Milla Jojovich and one by James Van der Beck (or whatever you call him)
- The poster for the movie is clearly inspired by Suede's album cover for "Coming Up"
- Movie has no plot! but great character studies.
- One character is defined by "i was born in a Holliday Inn" phrase
- characters are trapped in a rerun of 80s music, just like me (and you)
- professors fuck and do drugs with students (ah, how I miss college!)
- if you have a phobia of wrists being cut, don't watch this!
- backpacking through europe never looked so fun
- death is as cheap and sentimental as we all suspected
- Erasure's Stop! in the final credits
- Brands that sponsoured movie come first in credits (Bret Easton Ellis' philosophy?)
- funny
- disgusting but thoughtful
- The Cure used for the first time correctly in a movie
- No fucking "hip" hollywood actors doing a little role to support "indie" movie
- no ending makes sense for a movie with no plot
