Synopsis:
Notes
- Esoteric observation: In an early cafeteria scene we can hear
Eunace mutter "Hmmm. 'Hell is other people.' Sartre. He's a
good
man." The existentialist concept of 'hell is other people' was
embodied in Jean Paul Satre's play "No Exit".
- Watch for the motto of Fort Collins: "Proud Home of the 45th
Mobile
Laundry Division"
- Kevin and Eunace infiltrate a secure area in act 3. Watch for the
sign, "Secure toilet, no unauthorized usage."
- In act 3, the B-plot includes a shot that's reminiscent of Stanley
Kramer's "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" where the camera
looks upward
into the faces of Carlos, Andy, Natalie, Jim, Wally, Posey, and Gus.
- Bling-blong anal detail: Eunace remarks that the schoolgirls have
nicknamed Kevin "Geek-o". The term geek originated with
the
flambouyant costumes of acrobatic performers, who presaged superhero
costumes. Technically speaking, Superman is a geek but Kevin is
merely a nerd.
