and in the end it's love

I don't know if you all know this already or what, but Hard Core Logo is really fucked up.

Hee.

This movie always makes me want fic, and then I remember that I actually find the vast majority of HCL fiction to be completely unsatisfying, even from writers I really like.

This movie also raises an interesting philosophical question, of course, with unreliable narrators and canon (namely, how should it be taken?), given the context of the central homoerotic moment in the film and how it's presented, and then how it's generally completely unquestioned by fandom. (Wow, that sentence sounds much more pretentious when I'm trying to present it in a spoilerfree way.) ETA: There may be spoilers in the comments, of course.

o.O I was talking about this very thing in chat tonight. I can see three or four different ways that the information can be plausibly interpreted, and I understand that people will settle on one version or another in order to be able to write fic about it, but wow. I so want to just know what really happened. ::dies of HCL frustration::

*grins* If it helps, I don't think any of THEM know what really happened for any of it.
