Twitter Capsule: One hesitates to say it's as prurient as it possibly could be, which just baits Larry Clark. Nearly as dull as possible, too.

VOR:   Exists to stoke discussion, and that it certainly did. Revealingly, though, its cultural lifespan was very short. Lascivious overwroughtness drove but also limited its impact.
