thanks for the nice comments, kids!
To be truthful, though, I was kinda biting TheRockWentToMyHighSchool's editing style (with the cutaways). I think that was probably perfected by Fassbinder, during his early works.
Oh, I have no idea who Fassbinder is. The name sounds cool to drop, though.
Also, you gotta give it up for Emily A., whose rendering of Tom is so spot-on (in an Epistemological sense), that I wouldn't be surprised if the Kid began to unknowingly grow a bushy mustache and smoking cigarellos.
