I think my issue was that the guy was not believably hot enough for her to risk it all. I understand that she’s getting something else from him, but he’s a rat face (which ok I can go for sometimes), but you’re going to go for that twerp when you’re getting railed by Antonio Banderas on the regs??

I have a student interested in investigating the concept of the weird. Not the horror/sci fi genre, per se, but rather the disposition/descriptor more generally. Any leads would be appreciated!
