yes to best actress.
I was not a fan of the film, mostly because I appreciate fully formed supporting characters. this one, to me, did not have that.

I keep waiting for ana tijoux's 'vengo' to make it onto one of these charts.
not yet, so far.

so can we try r. Kelly in twitter-court now?

I was reading rolling stone's story about rape at UVA. the entire article was horrendous (content-wise), but the one thing that really haunted me was when one of the participants of a gang-rape referred to the victim as "it."
that some fascist-level dehumanization right there, and that's on a 21st century US college…

racism: ruining the fruit experience for 600 years.

'bad blood' was the first x-files episode I ever saw. hooked me for life.

you know, the first time i noticed audience reactions in the theatre was actually kevin bacon in 'wild things.' i had to chuckle when the entire audience proclaimed their disgust at naked bacon.

ever since the collapse of the music industry (and its current obscene floundering), i have been waiting for the US movie industry to do the same, for the same reasons. i honestly don't understand how moviegoers can spend so much money on utter rubbish.
if this is the way it's goin to happen, then i welcome it…

i seem to spend more time checking out audience reactions than i do watching the movie.
watching 'this is the end' (the last commercial US film i saw in the theatre) was quite an anthropological experience.

thanks for the links, they cleared up a lot of questions i had about the season.

very very true. i just wish their story had been given more time to realize its full sexy potential

i really like the libby/robert story because i wouldn't want to watch an entire hour of masters/johnson drama. i appreciate its 'separateness' because that's kinda the point - alienation, separation, finding meaning outside of an overwhelming main story/character, blah blah blah.

i think the point is that he physically cannot.

well, to be fair, she has only just figured it out for herself. really hoping season 3 brings a complete existential/emotional breakdown for libby.

yeh, i felt guilty about laughing at the 'dumb blonde' angle.

ah, ok, my mistake. i was just remembering that scene in the projects where he gets the cold shoulder from a lady.

i agree with you. i just think that this was the scene where she realizes there's nothing she can do to 'fix' it and accepts it.

yes, i fail to see the humour, especially if it's a "it's funny when it happens to men!" thing.
but i do wonder about whether to compare Flo/Austen to Masters/Johnson. yes, Gini is willing… well, she was willing eventually, after sex became a job requirement.

perhaps that fact was not apparent to Libby until that scene.

am i mistaken, or have they shown him to be a bit of a ladies' man?
