Suck It, Nancy

Yeah yeah, your movie's getting rave reviews. "Lars and the Real Girl" looks great and has a great cast yadda yadda.

But in 2003 Love Object had a better plot- especially as it mirroredresembled my life at a nameless company in the south bay.

The twisted tale of Kenneth, socially insecure technical writer who forms an obsessive relationship with "Nikahhh""Nikki", an anatomically accurate silicone sex doll he orders over the Internet.

Because of his experience with his new toy, Kenneth's life takes a turn for the better when his newfound romantic skills attract the attention of Lisa, a co-worker at his office. But when the doll's jealous personality invades his consciousness, Kenneth becomes trapped in a perverse triangle, torn between the dominating, silicone Nikki and the flesh-and-blood Lisa.

You could even argue that they're both remakes of Monique but from what I can tell Love Object started in production about the same time.

And no, I still haven't ordered my custom Nikahhh and Lisa dolls (yet).
