These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
YMMV: Soultaker
Awesome Music: "Happy Today" by The Kevin Danzig Band is actually pretty good.
Canon Sue: So, three men (counting the nerdy guy at the dance) essentially vie for the affections of writer/actress Schilling's character, Natalie, who gets lots of nice close-ups, and is the central character upon whom the whole movie hinges, in spite of not being particularly interesting.
She's also the rich daughter of the town's mayor, complete with a mansion and butler. So her accident and the subsequent drama about whether or not she should stay on life support make the evening news. How convenient.
Amazingly, she doesn't save the day. Her Hot Poor Boyfriend does.
Some of the riffing picks up on this, narrating supposed pages from the script of Schilling describing how beautiful her character is for no reason.
Ending Fatigue: Damn, that hospital climax just does not want to end. It even keeps cutting to a clock after the Cosmic Deadline passes. "The clock doesn't figure at all, stop showing the clock! You spent that nickel already!"
Ensemble Darkhorse: The riffers sure wanted to know more about the bus than the characters.
Maybe he can only cause the bullets to go through him when he can see it coming?
Ho Yay: "Is there a name for Mom's little sickness?" "Yeah, Lilith Faire-ism."
Narm: Done by a camera shot, interestingly. In the scene where Natalie is trapped in the elevator with the Estevez soultaker, the camera slowly rotates whenever she is on-screen. At first the viewer might think they're trying for a Dutch Angle effect, but it keeps turning and turning until eventually she's completely upside-down. It just ends up looking silly.
Squick: The Estevez reaper oogles at the undressed heroine while he's disguised as her mother.
