GUILTY VIEWING PLEASURES:
Matthew Lillard
Appears in:
Character Observations:
Doug Van Housen is one twisted rich kid. He's amoral, and, by his own admission, has no soul. He'll kill his girlfriend's pet rabbit just as soon as he'll threaten to rape her mother. There's definitely an undercurrent of homoeroticism in his violence - he nuzzles pretty much any male character he comes in contact with, and strips in front of his butler (or is it his dad? Hmmm). His ending? Chopped across the chest by the single decent person in the film. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Actor Observations:
I know a lot of people find Matthew Lillard obnoxious, but I actually liked him in Animal Room. I thought he played a fucked-up high schooler pretty well, and he almost... almost, I say... managed to pull off the overflowing male pirate shirt. Let's just say, he's done much worse for himself (*ahem* Hackers).
