I'm reading succubus revealed. the main character suddenly gets a mysterious transfer to her dream state, her dream job, and incredible people who could easily be her friends. and she's thinking it's a conspiracy to stop her from investigating what's she's doing right now.

any movies/shows similar to this? the ones i've seen: the firm, devil's advocate, and tv show 666 park avenue

Eureka is kind of, loosely, like this.
Small town filled with a bunch of geniuses who work for a company designing futuristic technology. The town seems to be perfect on the outside, but when the protagonist (its new sheriff) begins working, all sorts of dangerous stuff happens.
I really enjoyed it, quite funny, though not what you're looking for exactly.

Then there are all those small-town-with-a-murder-cult movies.

I don't really know any specifics xD

Except for Hot Fuzz, which is kind of a parody of those I guess.

i usually steer away from comedies, at least stuff like Epic Movie and adam sandler. i did like Falling Down, Office Space, Southpark (without the sexual content), buffy the vampire slayer. not sure what the subgenre is.

You see this in Comedy's all the time now - it was in 2 1/2 men - when Lindsey's husband finds out that she was cheating with her ex lover - She whips open her shirt and says - "look honey - BooBs". I think the writers are commenting on America's great ability to become distracted from the truth by other things.

Pretty much like whenever President Bush had some "Controversy" , there was always a "OMG , Paris Hilton is sucking what on video?" story to distract everyone for a few days.

Men like Boobs and really nothing else matters after you pop out of the vagina.

For women its always it bit more complicated


Ill explain it in math

For Men : 1 + 1 = 2

For wowen : 1 x 1 = 2

aka : X > +


See - much more complicated.

I think the best Movie ever made on this exact subject was Rosemary's Baby.

If you havent seen it - its all about a Women who begins questoning in her own belief in the things that everyone is saying to her

because whenever you question reality that some scary chit.
