That C is harsh, if Brandon didn't like this episode, that explored some pretty complex themes and had that beautiful speech by Vanessa (who is my favourite character in both these shows), I wonder what he'll think of Amy and Kay episode which is so romantic and light. Heh, I guess will see.

It's been a while since I've seen this, but I don't remember Henry being turned on by his nephew, just overwhelmed and shocked with how comfortable he was with himself, a state of being that is completely foreign to Henry. But it's possible my brain blocked out the unpleasant undercurrent.

I tolerated until now the amount of gratuitous female nudity, but I just think in these four episodes it reached ridiculous levels. I remember at least two full-frontal nudity scenes and they avoided showing Daario naked like we were watching a Jane Austen adaptation.

Farewell, Patchface!

Be warned: Dogtooth is batshit crazy and disturbed, but amazing.

Well, Dark Places was fun, but it pales in comparison with Gone Girl, and I felt it relied a bit too much on stereotypes.

I'm really looking forward to Slow West. Or maybe I should say I'm looking forward to everything Michael Fassbender is in. He's a great actor and he makes such interesting choices.

Oh, yes, it looked good. My favourite cinematography in a Fincher movie is in The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. That movie is gorgeous.

I'm having a great time so far, but, yeah, some things strain credibility. How did she fill that woodshed on her own, again? It's like Hannibal and the people totem.

This was Fincher week. I rewatched Seven, Zodiac and Gone Girl (because I started reading Gillian Flynn’s book). I loved Zodiac a disturbing amount, I remembered it a bit boring, but it’s actually so tense and well-paced. His best movie, hands down. Seven kind of aged badly.

You three are having quite a party today.

Because he's secretly a lesbian, and this is his subtle coming out.

I gave Ben Affleck as an example of a success story. But I agree with everything else you said,

Look, I think understanding the basic principles of a religion by yourself, without the influence of others is the basis on which to decide if an individual is what he claims to be.

I am an atheist too, but I guess we have different perspectives on things. I do not consider bigotry (the dangerous flavour as you put it, which includes trying to limit others' rights, alongside bombing buildings) a variation of Christianity, but a distortion of it.

According to your guiding principles, Islamic crazy fundamentalists are legitimate Muslims, because they identify as such, even if the whole Muslim community rejects them and they're psychopaths. I don't think that's right and it's a pretty narrow view on faith.

It's been a long time since I was a Christian, but these guys that drool all over these movies, homophobes, misogynists and racists, that proclaim they're true believers because of their bigotry, are not in fact.

It's unbelievable. It truly is.

How could they greenlit this? What sane person would have said yes to this? It's just mind-blowing (unintended), something so offensive and wrong.

There is nothing Christian about these movies. Nothing.
