Rescued!

Today some of my friends staged an intervention, removing me from the Internet as we all went to see the movie "Saved!", in which a girl gets pregnant after trying (unsuccessfully, of course) to make her boyfriend straight by sleeping with him. Other things happen, too, but that's really the meat of the matter, so to speak.

In any case, for those who are either gay men or, alas, straight women, the movie is chock full of hotties, from Maculey Culkin, who has aged well, to the girl's gay boyfriend and her eventual straight admirer, played by actors whose names I won't bother to look up.

I was a bit confused by one aspect of the movie: the token Jew at the Christian school where the film takes place, though anti-Christian and with dark hair, is in no way Jewish, although she is referred to as such throughout. She is skanky (as indicated by her visible thong and her tendency to shove her tongue down the Maculey Culkin character's throat), and "bad" (as indicated by her chainsmoking) but her rejection of Jesus as a potential lord and savior seems to come more from punk rebellion than from a belief that the Messiah hasn't yet arrived.
