I read it as more of jealousy too; apropos of that, my favourite moment in the movie might just be when Valk oh so gently slides her hand across the Grandmaster’s face and his resultant reaction. God, I love Goldblum so damn much!

OTOH; it can also come across that they have built a good rapport with their young stars because this is how 80% of social bonding happens at that age... and sometimes older too.

I also don’t particularly like Seinfeld but did enjoy Colbert’s recent interview with him.

Counter-point: Miguel is pure sex and he makes that lyric work

I’m straight and I’ve had gay men do a quick grab of my crotch and/or ass before while at a gay bar and I don’t have any lingering trauma...

The sad truth though is that this “aggressively British” behaviour isn’t particularly British at all and only comes off that way due to their silly accents and mannerisms.

Just because I suffer from mental conditions I feel the need to point this out; evidence points towards ephebophilia or possibly hebephilia at most. Both those things are differing degrees of “wrong” but pedophilia they definitely are not.

I’m going to give you a response which I assume you receive everyday:

The film’s been finished as far as the director’s concerned over 2 years ago. It’s just been the studio and editing wunderkinds who have been trying to salvage it over the last 700 days but evidently they have all failed.

But it was a money-earner and no reasonable person should be surprised that it didn’t break the $600m line world-wide(oh the horror of only making $500m+). Period war films don’t play in the billion-dollar stratospheres of box-office.

I wonder the mainstream audience reaction to how all the main cast of women in that trilogy have had a significant portion of their characters formed through their experience of being sexually assaulted and raped by men.

I feel you should give the whole trilogy a go but otoh;

Every single book takes you into (and for the most part, leaves you in) a pretty melancholic state where everything is absolute shit but there’s always a glimmer of hope in the piles of turd. They are absolutely brutal but they do say something important about how to persevere in adversity, ie. How to remain hopeful…

Forgiveness and justice are two things that are ultimately not related or dependent on the other. Forgiveness does not mean the absence of justice.

It is more or less the equivalent of Nascar with the difference being that at least our American counterparts are more or less honest with the social status of the event. Whereas in Australia the [white] people who attend Melbourne Cup events like to pretend they are being classy by dressing up and such but to the…

Calling Cabernet Sauvignon by its full-name instead of “Cab Sav” almost has the exact same reaction in Australia only the other way around. We do have a distinct and strangely proud tendency to shorten words.

Yes, this story is about that Meagan Good. And you omitted her biggest claim to stardom; she starred in mother-effing D.E.B.S.

As an Asian who grew up in a Western country I’d just like to say that an individual being casually and insensitively racist doesn’t always mean you dislike the person or even that they can’t be your friend(or even spouse).

It’s only a problem if there is tangible evidence that those donations have somehow provided him political clout over our government. This isn’t the case so far.

I’m like that; my rational mind just never ever lets me even be mildly “scared”. Closest I’ve come to what others might feel from a horror film is in Requiem of a Dream and watching the mother have a mental breakdown; because that scary shit is possible and can’t be rationalized away.
