Don't worry if you've never seen Damages, cus I haven't, but I still love it. All I know about that show is 1) apparently the main character, played by Glenn Close and named Patty Hewes (and I'm not even sure I spelled that right) is a badass lawyer who does all kinds of dodgy shit in the name of greater goals, and 2) IN THIS VID I AM HER.
Cus the premise? Patty is a Laura Roslin fangirl watching in increasing despair, drunkenness and violence as 4.5 destroys her beloved TV crush.
It works on three levels.
1) HILARIOUS.
2) HEARTBREAKINGLY RAGE-INDUCINGLY TRUE.
3) Actual powerful and subtle commentary, not just on the fact that the show failed but on all the ways it was the FAULT of the show that it failed. That it should have known better. For...a more eloquent summation of these things, seegrrl_unscripted's comment at the above link.
Really guys, you all need to watch this vid.
Again, it makes me feel vindicated for my belief that all the best things, serious or not, are deadly serious crack.
