Shortbus

I saw the movie Shortbus on Monday. In case you don't know, it's that movie with the NOT simulated sex by the writer director of Hedwig and the Angry Itch. No, it is not porn. It we're is just a pretty light comedy. A post-millennial, post-9/11 New York sex fable about disconnection. It is not something that should be looked at too deeply (as the plot and characterization tend to fall apart under scrutiny). But as just a cute little rumination, it's very refreshing. And the sex is at first a bit distracting, but after the intro segment, it just becomes part of the fabric.
