Spawn of Kiefer is, in fact, in an SUV with a girlfriend of hers. Friend of Spawn of Kiefer (FOSOK) is a poor man's Mena Suvari from American Beauty - tarty but stiff.

If a high school girl wants to get date raped by a college boy these days, she's got to team up with a girlfriend or two and sneak into a keg party as a free agent.

She was the butch Latina marine who, although she didn't understand all of Sigourney Weaver's scientific explanations for things and all those big words, just wanted to find those muthafuckin' aliens and blow them sky-high.

I think it just never changed with the zeitgeist. People don't want action shows with buff superguys beating up terrorists anymore. Hits a little too close to home.
