I'll admit I did laugh a little, but then I thought "Well, he did basically the same thing in Inland Empire, so I guess that's just what he does now".

I think the Hornes have enough money to rent a room with a glass box and some recording equipment.

"Also, tits. What can you say? The man likes tits."- What, just because he has breasts in Blue Velvet, Fire Walk With Me, the new Twin Peaks season, Wild At Heart, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire…. you may have a point. It's basically everything but Eraserhead, Elephant Man, and Straight Story.

Lynch has been a master of making weird, fleshy props unnerving since Eraserhead.

To be fair, that didn't stop Evie's actress from showing up.

Well, sure. They're a very religious family, while I don't necessarily see Laurie as the musical theater type.

#1, betrayed Jesus for silver. #2, killed himself. #3, got some of the best songs in Jesus Christ Superstar.

"If you have a cake, and it's yours, why on earth would you not be able to eat it?"- because once you've eaten your cake, you no longer have a cake.

Sure, and he also thought Justin was the janitor, and fired interns for things they had nothing to do with. He's a general dick, him being condescending to a woman doesn't make him a sexist if he's similarly rude to men.

Sure, he's lecherous, but that doesn't make him a sexist.

"and in a way that no one could help support your claim that it was consensual"- which is 99% of sex, given that the vast majority of people have it with no one else watching.

To be fair, aren't a lot of the complaints about Manning based on her leaking not only war crimes, but also sensitive data about ongoing but legal investigations as well?

"Not to mention, you would have had to put yourself in a situation where it's even possible that you could be accused and have it be believable"- it takes very little for that to happen. It's not like these accusations always come with shovelfuls of forensic evidence, all it really takes for believable context is sex.

I mean, if he's telling the truth then sure, he is the one being harmed here.

Well, yes, because the point of the argument is that you don't actually know if they're rape victims or not.

" false reports are so rare as to never happen "- I've seen studies putting it around 7-10%, which while still a minority is something to keep in mind, especially given the recent high profile instances like a lot of the campus stuff.

"That being said, in keeping with my commitment to my principles, I believe it is my responsibility to be accountable to this individual’s perspective and to honor it accordingly."- this is the weirdest response to accusations of sexual assault I've ever heard. It's like he's saying "I didn't do any of the things…

Sure, but they're not scary. I don't see this and think of some demented serial killer, I see a man who felt peeved as a result of rude behavior and chose a strange and impractical way to try to remedy it. It's not American Psycho, it's a Larry David plot.

Is he terrifying? I don't read this and think "Serial killer", I read it and think "Seinfeld character".

Really, the only person who I think of as both her peer and worse is Trevor Noah.
