Of course you have to understand what you're doing and why you're doing it in order to be in charge of… well, anything in life, really. And I'm not saying that the "male reaction" is the right one and that everyone should be fucking non-stop.

If it was, it was the laziest straw man ever. Dan has had an opportunity to voice his opinions about sluts a million times in the past and I think even he wouldn't be so lazy as to type something that barely qualifies a letter just to get a chance to get on the same old soapbox.

What, you break in and steal their Fancy Feast?

Well that's compeletely different. Although I still think it's wrong if someone is considered an unfit parent just because they have a lot of sex (if, for instance, they're unmarried). But if they cheat on their spouse, they pretty much deserve what's coming to them.

If you steal someone else's cockring, you may quickly find yourself in a real pinch.

Hey, it could be either, I don't know. Like someone said, making a deep analysis of a six word letter is pretty tough. Although saying that guilt is "not a big deal" in a culture which has been sex-negative for a loooooong time sounds kinda dismissive to me.

I still feel that there's a definite element of sexism there. How many guys are going, "Wow, the fact that I'm sleeping around with all these women is posing to be a real problem. I wonder if I'm losing control of my life and need help?" Somehow for women being a slut is a sign of being in need of help and protection…

I recently re-watched Spaced as well. It holds up pretty good. What I definitely didn't remember was how fucking hilarious that club-going bike messenger dude (Tires?) is.

Hey, I also saw Gravity! First 3D movie I've ever seen. I thought it was pretty good too. Kinda thin on the story but that isn't really the point. What I particularly liked was the fact that all the effects were used in order to portray basically reality. Usually with any new movie that heavily features CGI, they're…

Watch it while completely toasted, if you're into that stuff. It'll still be extremely ridiculous but also kinda mind-blowingly gorgeous. While I don't think it's a good film by any stretch of the imagination, it's still one of the most memorable experiences of movie-watching I've ever done.

Holy Christmas, seriously!?

Hey, I read those too! Also Airframe, Timeline and Rising Sun.
And I stand by what I said, there isn't a single memorable character in the lot.

I wish they hadn't cut that part where almost everyone has sex with the dinosaurs.

I think the dinosaurs in JP actually are closer to monsters than actual animals. Animals would attack humans in order to eat them for food or to chase them off their territory. Animals would probably not bother to learn how to open doors or chase people halfway across the island just to snack on them.

I remember reading Jurassic Park the novel after seeing the film and it being one of the first "big books" I ever read (I was around nine or ten when the movie came out). My least pleasant memories of the thing were the long sections with nothing but computer screen transcriptions on them. And that it took a really…

We'll try to soldier on without your support.

I think that partly has to do with the source material. Crichton was never very good at writing complex or profound characters.

Sweet Christ you have got to be kidding…

Speaking of jelly… how's your mom?

NO NO NO! WRONG!
