Your lips to god's ears.

lol, granted.
Get back to me when you get past the first round.

Seriously! I'm as queer as they get, but good lord the male divers (from all countries) had me questioning my life's trajectory. So much beefcake, something for everybody.

He was pretty when he was 18. Now he's a bloated mess.

I started this one because I was intrigued by the idea of seeing the social collapse from the beginning, since TWD came in with the epidemic in full bloom. Seemed like a premise chock-full of possibilities. Sadly, this show has gradually lost the momentum of that premise and has now become TWD Lite, with fractured…

Fair enough. We were born 20+ years apart; by that metric alone, our relative relationships to many genres of music are likely to diverge.

Wow, I really don't resonate with that at all. As suburban white kids in the 70's, we disliked disco because it seemed homogenized, processed, and soulless, and it took all the good rock off the radio. It was all beat and no meat. Any association with blacks, gays, or any other specific group was so far off our radar…

Rusty, you ignorant slut.

That just changed, actually. It's now "Do the right thing." Takes out all that certainty and replaces it with whatever is conveniently "right" for Google. Progress!

Beat me to it by a bunch of hours. It's why, for example, the sex scenes in "Blue is the Warmest Color" left me mostly cold, in spite of my long years as a card-carrying lesbian. So visual…so lacking in breath, eyes, shifts in passion, heat. Just a series of poses, like stills from a lesbian porn scene. Beautifully…

They're not romanticizing the Age, they're romanticizing their age. They were young, they had purpose and adventure, change was in the air. It's a natural impulse.

Thanks for being considerate for us US viewers. Too bad the jackasses upthread didn't feel the need.

Good idea for a film, interesting-ish script, really great performance by Ally Sheedy, completely ruined by that wooden, waxen stiff of an actress who plays the other lead. *shudder*

BOOOOOO!

Glad I'm not the only one who mumbled, "You always were an asshole, Gorman" as that thing went off…

Fair enough! I thought it forced sentiment where it wasn't needed, in a movie that struggled with tone to begin with: hard to combine bystanders getting shot for comedy with our "heroes" becoming better men for the sake of a kid. Two tastes that don't taste great together. But it worked for you, so different…

Yes! Every time I found myself getting cringe-y about that, I kept thinking, "oh god, I'm old now, right?" but it was just off enough to keep dragging me out of the scene. Maybe it was going for the "Little Darlings"/"Bad News Bears" homage, which I get, but overall the daughter's presence (and the associated…

Fun. Uneven tone, some dragging parts, the actual crime plot was underdeveloped and kind of pointless, but a lot of great laughs and clever action. B- is right on.

SF Sketchiest time!! YAY! Just got home from my first batch—Rifftrax on Thursday (always great), Spontaneanation (with John Hamm!) and Judge John Hodgeman on Friday, and Superego today. It's comedy nerd Christmas.

No worries; I'm a little touchy on the subject, as CBT is all the rage now, and tends to get over-emphasized by insurance companies because it's "quick" and relatively cheap. And that is a misuse of a very effective, but hardly universal, tool.
