Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.
Early in the film, Lenny visits one of his sleazy-looking friends at the Retinal Fetish club, who happens to be missing both legs. Lenny hands him a memory clip to view as a gift for the upcoming Y 2 K. Probably just another porno memory, or a generic thriller memory, right? Lenny's (leg-less, remember) friend plays the clip, and it's actually a memory of a healthy athletic male just running along the beach, enjoying the scenery and getting some attention from a hot jogger. Lenny's friend is practically crying when the clip ends.
Reaction seems to be mixed on that one. Some watchers saw Lenny's actions as cruel.
When we discover the reason Mace, against all odds, is in love with Lenny and keeps forgiving his many fuck-ups: a flashback to the day her husband murdered someone while her son was in the house, when we learn that Lenny was the cop who took care of her son and comforted him by reading comic books with him in his bedroom. It's the first point we realize there is more to Lenny than the grungy-loser persona, and a better man lurking within him that he wants to admit.
The ending. Last-Minute Hookup it may be, but it's a goddamn beautiful one.
Made more awesome by the clock at the end still ticking on, indicating there is a future to be had
