Take a drink every time one of these indie movie clichés occurs:

- blonde adolescent equals salvation

- catharsis through photography/video

- cheerleading ironized

- Chris Cooper shoots someone

- corporate numbness of beige walls and polyester suits

- drive-in dialogue

- humorous domestic violence

- male menopause as tragedy

- masturbation

- meaningless extramarital sex in a motel

- Nazism as metaphor for suburban evil

- peripheral homosexuals/ity

- revocation of corporate numbness

- suburban soft drug consumption

- video camera usage by lurking male
