squished squirrel

easy cliche

instead of spending time on character development in films, californication wastes it all on special effects, advertising, big whee names.

even names like "untalented piece o' shit wife of famous dood" which with each expression, movement and sound is the epitome of a squished squirrel.

"Unfortunately, John Q goes for the easy cliche almost every time.

I delayed watching this movie from the simple fact that the previews gave me the impression that this was a "squashed squirrel." There are two ways to elicit emotion: 1) provide a cliche device, such as a squashed squirrel (who won't go "awwww" when seeing a small animal hurt?), or 2) earn your audience emotions by providing them with honest writing and believable situations."(...)

californication

americanization, superficiality, injecting hollywood into the world, into anything, more profit at cost of everything.

selling your soul to the devil seems good in the short run, short run is good enough.

strong male ideals perverted together with political correctness.

the ability of showing a whore (whenever) but inability to say the name (untill late on night).

man the food business here is so wasted after that POS mcdonalds californicated it.
