The Hinterland
Rants from the hinterland. A Denver writer and pretend anthropologist rips into artistic treason and random acts of ethical violence.

All you ever needed to hear from Prince UnCharming, and less

Planet Out has an interview w/ Prince UnCharming from Boy Repels Boy. Not full of the laugh out loud lines I anticipated--except like this one: "I think they did a good job editing the show"--just hopelessly boring and empty. Page after page of nothing. And loads and loads of relentless whining about "the twist," after first saying he's fine with it. This is typical:

Did you expect these really nice people to go on a show together and be told this horrible, horrible lie and just think, oh, that's fun?" I said, "We gave you our trust once, and you destroyed it. . . . It does suck being the -- I don't know what the word is, not the victim, necessarily . . .

Makes it sound like he spent the entire series strapped to a Catherine Wheel. To play the victim so--not "well," necessarily, but intensely--and then to deny your victimhood. The interviewer is half the problem, though. Seems nearly as shallow as our Prince.

Mostly just endless prattle about "personal journey" crap. Check out this quote: ". . .my personal journey was the vehicle for the show -- but the show itself was something different than my personal journey." Oh, and one more howler:

My suspicions were that with some people, there was just something off, but it was never their sexuality. It was just that there was no chemistry of any kind -- not even friendship chemistry.

Nice to hear they cast some intelligent people after all. Wish they would have shown them to us.
