THIS ANTITHESIS to the U-Haul Syndrome is often seen when one or both parties are in the closet, or when lesbians decide to make a movie. Courtships that last more than 2-3 months will frustrate everyone involved, including observers or audiences. Two women are attracted to each other but just can’t admit it. Instead they have “chance” encounters charged with animosity and laden with embarrassingly tacky innuendo. They drink a lot, each hoping to be held unaccountable when the other one finally makes a move—or else, a movie. Unfortunately, neither is up to the task.
