Because the movie is so captivating, Doooom and myself continued to analyze the masterpiece. Here are some bits from our intellectual talk about…

…WHEN IN ROME (spoilers alert).

Doooom: "So you aren't a nice blond chick? That sucks."

Palahniuk: "'I'm a hairy guy with huge feet, unfortunately.'

Doooom: "Anyway. It was an incredible funny and charming movie."

Palahniuk: "I agree."

Doooom: "But it was really dark too. Especially the part in the restaurant. I could barely see a thing in there, so it was totally scary for me.

Palahniuk: "The "blind restaurant" scene made me jump from my seat.

Doooom: "And when all the other guys came in there with night vision devices. That freaked the hell out of me! Boy, was i glad when they finally left this scary place."

Palahniuk: "I even yelled loudly when someone put his hand on the charming guy's shoulder. I never saw a trick like that in a movie! Ever! The screenwriters sure know how to twist a scene. And the director of photography did a great job as well: everything was well lighted. It had the reminescence of the climactic sequence of Silence of The Lambs. And what did you think of the beginning?"

Doooom: "The beginning was the best part of the movie along with the ending and all that was in between those."

Palahniuk: "Remember when her ex-boyfriend wants to take her back? Wasn't it outrageously funny?"

Doooom: "How her ex-boyfriend told her that he's getting married and everyone thinks he wants to marry her? Ingenious. But this was of course a very embarrassing moment for Veronica Mars (who just turned 30 two days ago). I can totally understand how awkward she felt, cause the exact same thing happened to me half a dozen times last year (only that i'm not a hot blond chick). But what do you thing of the first wedding in the movie, when the charming guy translated her speech into italian?

Palahniuk: "Look. I've seen thousand of weddings in Movie Land. Before When In Rome, my best wedding flick was Monster In Law. Although I have a crush with the tempo of The Wedding Planner. Anyway! When the charming guy comes to Veronica Mars rescue? I was melting. Here we have a real knight-saving-lady situation. But in a contemporary way."

Doooom: "Wasn't this freaking hilarious?"

Palahniuk: "Oh yeah! And there's a LOT OF SUSPENS as well because we don't know if she's gonna get away with her speach, even if the charming guy saves the day. But I definitely laughed my heart out when we realize the guy is not even italian! What a turning point!"

Dooooom: "Btw, do you know why they called this cinematic masterpiece "When in Rome"? I mean, they are hardly in Rome at all."

Palahniuk: "It is an alcool. You use it when making a mojito but you can also drink it pure on ice. Alas they only sip Champagne. So I don't really know what the title's message is. That's why this movie is so great: you have many layers."

Voilà.
