Leaving, Leaving Normal
I didn't not like Leaving Normal. I thought the characters where very one dimentional, the writing was incredibly bad (I understand that parts were supposed to be cliché), and the stories that were constructed seemed incredibly inconsequential and bland. The main character, Marianne, had this supposedly strange and influential back story, yet I feel I don't understand what happened at all. How long was she even with her abusive husband? Christine Lahti, whom I have enjoyed in other shows, was able to bring punch-up the humor a little bit, but still, I felt all of the comedy was incredibly stressed. In the end, I didn't care about who was doing what, where the baby was, if Marianne will get with Harry (Who plays a super creepy guy in Twin Peaks!), or what will happen to their lives.
My favorite film would probably be Priscilla, Queen of the Desert for many reasons. I felt it was an incredibly well thought out story, and used many interesting actors (action stars!). Many of the scenes in the film are very memorable and used great cinematography. I think as well, the story never treaded into dubious water in regards to drag queens, homosexuality, and sexism.
