KarmasChild highlighted the exact quotes that made my heart skip a beat.

I find that the more I watch VG, the more I focus on these later scenes.

The first 5-10 times I watched, it was all about the lights..color..and glitter---now I'm wallowing in the angst and delving into the muck with the fellas. Sounds depressing, but it gives the movie great substance for me.

You've captured this substance brilliantly!

BTW, I'd like to second the motion to have Jerry's head on a stick. :)
