Saw Afterschool on IFC Ondemand. Like a Jay Mcinerney novel shot with hand video. Ok maybe some Bret Easton Ellis thrown in as well.
The cost of the Ab Circle Pro is tough for some to handle. At a price tag of over $200 it can make it a harder decision to buy this product. There is a great debate if this product is a scam or the real deal. I am not going to discuss this debate in this article but rather discuss if the $200 is real value or a money grab.
First, the machine is made of a metal alloy which makes for a lighter weight. Having a lighter weight makes this machine more portable and easy to move.

it got described in various quarters as the first important movie of the YouTube generation. I fully understand how obnoxious that sounds
Why should it sound obnoxuious? "The YouTube generation" is an easy catchphrase which I take to mean "the current twenty-something generation," and I'd expect they, like Gen X or the "drop out generation" or the "silent generation" etc., will produce movies and these movies will reflect their sensibility.
There's this weird assumption that, whenever a new generation comes along, they are making movies or writing books "too quickly" no matter how quickly Gen Xers or "the drop-out generation" or the "silent generation" or anyone else did likewise. Every time a new generation asserts themselves, they seem to be treated as interlopers, and their perspective dismissed as a trendy cash-in on the latest fad. Makes no sense to me at all.
Kids in Catholic schools, at least, can blame their intolerant religion on the miserable treatment they suffer, and the miserable human beings they become. People rich enough to enter prep schools have no such excuse. Their parents want them to grow up stunted and screwed up. The more of those kids who die, the more oxygen and resources are left for genuine human beings.
