In an attempt to seriously and intently not do my paper (eek, I need ten pages by Wednesday, conference ready!), I watched In the Company of Men, which is directed by Neil LaBute and stars Aaron Eckhart. It's quite interesting, very little action, just lots of talking, but I haven't seen anything so horrific in a very long time. Two corporate alpha males play a game of revenge against women that have wronged them by toying with a deaf girl's emotions. It's terrifying to think that men exist like this. Its disturbing to get such a close look at a character like Eckhart's Chad that may in fact not have a soul.
The personal connection is that it was shot in Fort Wayne, with special thanks to the Pfieffer House--a coffee house that I've known and loved. In fact, I think they shot a scene there, but I'd need a second opinion...
Ok, on to Medieval drama.
