It is a good film. The storytelling is unusually elliptical and self-assured, the cinematography is gorgeous, and its message is at worst provokingly ambiguous (therefore good) and at best wildly subversive (therefore great). If there is a god, then the denied delights of the sisters will be restored in heaven. If…

This "as a straight man" thing has got to stop. Either leave it off entirely or just say "no homo" because it is actually what you mean. Also I have never detected any charm in Reynolds— oh wait do you mean Burt? Then, yeah.

Semicolon FTW.

YeS.

I am baffled that there are still acceptable way to behave re: hair style and that you, an avowed socialist, believe so.

Your idiotic justification of your hatred for Ameile (anything that doesn't press my guilt/outrage buttons is racist!) made me wonder what Jeunet was up to these days only to see he has a film coming out this year about science and child hobo adventures? called The Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivit. This also looks…

How dare you bring up Catholics without mentioning the rape scandal!

The Vatican loves to turn back the clock….

The Christians are all "butt hurt" about Ender's Game and are even "boy-cotting" it on account of all the naked children and homoeroticism of the book. Oh, wait. The opposite of that.

I would watch (five minutes of) an all Ken Jeong version of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado.

This hits almost all my buttons.

Ken Jeong's spastic judo Asian grandma character in the preview gives me heebie-jeebies.

You leave Sex Ed class shaken. What Mr. Gish said couldn't be right, could it? You spend the next half hour walking with your legs far apart and sitting very carefully But then forget about the lesson.

I said the same thing about V for Vendetta— a bad adaptation is one thing but an adaptation that misses the whole point is something else entirely.

Having a sense of humor about your idols actually helps you love them better, like your drunk cousin or your drunk self. Getting all pedestaly only leads to dumb internet arguments like this. Moore's a great writer, and as such, deserves to take some shit sometimes.

I was pretty frustrated by it— not that there wasn't some craft in it but the book is out and out anarchist in philosophy and the adaptation sided with liberalism. Since that particular anarchist vision was the whole reason for the book, the adaptation was, politically, a refutation of the source material. Which sucks.

O'Neal seems to be writing pieces of greater length and but lesser frequency. What would have been a humorously baroque sentence is now a short paragraph on its own, so the blows seem heavier than perhaps intended. Then again, I have noticed that O'Neal hates hypocrisy a lot.

Banville's writing is beautiful but not, clearly, to everyone's taste. You might be sporting, Violetta, and try one of the Black books. Most of what you probably find tedious or pretentious is dialed way back.
