cake eaters

no.215 The Cake Eaters

When I was 18, I was kinda seeing someone who was in a relationship - I know, not the nicest thing, but I made it very clear it was his baggage not mine. So now that you've judged me, I'll tell you that one of my friends called him "the cake eater," which doesn't take any explaining. So of course, I was inclined to watch a movie that shared the name.

Everyone wants to have their cake and eat it, too. I think that's universal, but very much an American philosophy. Kristen Stewart's character wants to have sex before she dies and picks the most unlikely candidate, but it's kinda cute. Every one around her manages to be a cake eater in their own way, some almost exploitative. Not a great watch, but cute.
