If you haven't already seen "American Beauty," its your duty as a
SubGenius to do so. Stang told Sterno it was about THEM, which is
largely true, but more importantly, it IS a SubGenius film that
addresses just about every Sub I've met and a lot who are still only
digital to me. It has no Dobbs element per se, but its DRIPPING with
cautionary tales concerning SLACK.
Better yet, as Bill Maher pointed out, the only really healthy people
IN the damned thing are the gay couple across the way, "healthy" being
relative, of course. Its one thing to experimentally smash a frog with a
brick when you're 5, but if you're still doing it at
34......eeeeyeewwww.
If anything highlights the utter cruelty of simply letting THEM *live*,
this film shows why. I doubt m/any of us would honestly take the TIME
required to push someone to this level of torment. Norms are real
self-starters when it comes time to FUCK THEMSELVES UP. The Pinks aren't
just some punching-clown construct for us to kick around, THEY LIVE NEXT
DOOR! ARM YOURSELVES, they're coming up the walk to invite you to play
miniature GOLF! FIRE!!!
Anyway, go see it. It ain't the wild-card shocker, say, maybe "Pulp
Fiction" was, but its RICHER. You'll be scared or laugh like a hyena or
both, as I did. Tattoo me with hair and call me Sasquatch, I think this
is one movie I'll actually want on tape! When my niece turns about 14 or
15, I'll show it to her as a warning against the eviscerating effects of
Normalcy. Thank Dobbs, I'm an Altered Boy.

I saw this film two nights ago, and I have to disagree.
Maybe I was just seeing things that weren't there, but I instantly
recognized it as almost a game of "Spot the SubGenius."

1) It *wasn't* Kevin Spacey's character. He showed potential, but
he screwed up at the last minute and didn't stick his dick in her
ear. This is why he had to die. Clearly an example of False Slack.
2) Was it the bimbo? Arrogant, vain, prone to bragging and ranting.
Remember that just because you say something during sex doesn't mean
it's true. She didn't get laid, but she still got a free dinner out
of the deal.
3) Was it Kevin Spacey's wife? She works intensly hard (and lies)
trying to SELL a piece-of-shit house to pinks, unsuccessfully. She
gets terribly frustrated, so she takes out her frustrations by doing
something really stupid, which, will giving her momentary pleasure,
screws up her life even more, so she does something else really
stupid, which screws her life up even more. Hmmmmmm....
4) Was is the "King of Real Estate"? He SELLS without effort. He
SAYS he is divorcing his wife, but is he really? to get into the
pants of Kevin Spacey's wife. He both breaks it off with her and
gets away clean when a good opportunity arises. Shit does not stick
to this slackful bastard...
5) Was it the gay guys? NO! Obvious normals.
6) The Colonel's kid? The Colonel's wife? Keving Spacey's daughter?
Nah.
6) Was it the Colonel? Paranoid, fanatical, hates locks on doors,
gun collector, likes his house nice and dark, confused about his
sexuality, prone to violent rages over petty shit, unable to find
drugs. BINGO! WE HAVE A SUBGENIUS!

BWAHAHAHAHAA!!!! Mu-HEEE!! And with a resume like THAT, let's hope
we encounter him already hog-tied over a SAWhorse! Give the fans what
they want n' all. And let's not forget that he was a MARINE COLONEL. The
bigger the brass, the deeper the closet! J-Edgar enjoyed being a girl
and so can YOU, in Today's Army! Just send "General Patton" a dildo
catalog and watch the sparks fly. He'll be cuttin' his grass with nail
scissors before the weekend is up. Well, its sorta like that. You know
where to buy the videos.

Nah, he was a SubGenius. He was the guy in the MTV SubGenius commercial
surrounded by NHGH.

Nah, she was a SubGenius. She was trapped in the phase of SubGeniusdom
where you think you want to be Pink even though you're really not.

Nah, she was a SubGenius, she was just a "Bobbie." The bimbo would have
ended up like her if not for being in this movie--that's why Kevin Spacey
liked her, he reminded her of what his wife USED to be. Besides, isn't it
the "Bobbies" who always end up with sore openings from Dobbs-like
characters with smooth talk and firearms? But deep under the layers and
layers of Pink propaganda, she knows she's really a SubGenius--that's why
she can't stand herself, and, of course, why she likes guns.

On the surface, perhaps. But we never saw what happened in their BEDROOM.

That's a little quick, innit? The Colonel's wife was just BRISTLING with
SUPPRESSED JANOR. The kids were learning to get in touch with their
SubGenius urges, like any healthy adolescent Yeti, but not yet comfortable
with them.

They're ALL SubGeniuses. That's the thing about the SubGenius--the only
thing we have in common is that we're ALL DIFFERENT. And Dobbs Himself
said that we've ALL got the Gene--some just hide it better, and some deny
it better. The Covert Mask of Assumed Normalcy and the Hideous Mask of
Actual Pinkness look EXACTLY ALIKE when properly done--you need THIRD
NOSTRIL surgery to be able to tell the difference!
But, damn, admittedly, I *would* like to have that goddamn gun collection.
