Gossip Girl 1010: Jenny Has The Flag, I'm Available For Work.
- FEK: of course it's eric! who else would it be?
- FEK: (besides nate, who should be a homo but isn't)
- Sam: it can't be the other three guys
- Sam: i was thinking maybe chuck, but that would take all the fun out of him
- FEK: yeah, no, chuck has to be a hetero. he's the brilliant ryan phillipe-evil character from cruel intentions. which makes nate the preening, stupid side of the ryan phillipe character from cruel intentions. which makes dan the epitomal masculinity of all the male characters in cruel intentions, with median intelligence and only a half-willing to be cunning. jenny = selma blair, blair = sarah michelle gellar, serena = reese witherspoon, eric = joshua jackson.
- FEK: it's so cruel intentions-esque predictable sometimes. like all shows, film, and tv about rich kids has to have your archetypes.
- Sam: YES
- Sam: as ryan puts it, "i just like rich white kids having sex"
- FEK: oh, how right he is.
- Sam: i was guffawing at jenny stealing last night. THEN i guffawed at how the bitch friends just "forget" about the dress the second she shows up with nate
- Sam: meg and i were like, whaaaaaa?
- FEK: oh, no, but it's so true
- FEK: boom! she has the flag, and she brought it back to the base (Butter) by hook or by crook.
- Sam: HAHAHAHHAHA
- Sam: yes!
- FEK: the point wasn't that they were forgiving for her for stealing the dress, the point was that she got nate, and she displayed her "kill" in such a way that renders her entire life before that a null and void point.
- FEK: which is so true of evil people doing evil things.
- FEK: a supreme victory trumps an exquisite failure, especially when a show is put on about it. josh schwartz and co know exactly what they're doing. it's so scary and brutal and machiavellian.
- FEK: watching gossip girl with me is like sitting through a "destruction of western civ 1010" course. i'm grinning the entire time.
- Sam: so, you need to write for the show
