'there's a reason beyond sexism that childcare is considered low-skilled work'

thank you, from one nanny to another

thank you kindly, i couldn't possibly do it justice after your lovely introduction. all that remains is a hearty but wistful: AGREED. such beauty in its shadows.

how right you are. it escaped me, i was pleased but not memorably so, until you pointed it out. ah Penny Dreadful, we miss your flawed glory. happy champagne memories. and always glad to see you around. at our melancholy ball, in our best gowns. so now i'll spend the rest of my day reappropriating the delightful Taboo…

but the credits end with a man swimming upwards, clearly alive?

i saw all of her other work and can't say i enjoyed any of it, apart from Another Earth. thanks for your recommendation.
i understand the appeal, the intended effect. and i truly don't mind people enjoying The OA. i get it, in a way i'm very much the targeted audience for this. but alas, it fell spectacularly and…

you need to watch Locke, then

how dare i, anonymously, on a forum for opinions. i just cannot believe you used that argument. it's okay to like something. don't let me ruin it for you (not being sarcastic)

long live Travis

unfortunately, i'm not face blind. yet.

thank you! i loved the column, the distinction between memory and dream was quite poignant. best of luck with your writing, hope you're feeling better health wise as well.
thanks again, ever since reading Raymond Moody's Life After Life as a (very young) kid, i've been fascinated with NDEs. i'm always excited to hear…

congrats on your diploma

you know what, it truly is distasteful. it's new agey, entitled holier than thou hubris which spectacularly turns into sentimentality and shows its empty spiritual calorie sort of futility when faced with difficult, tragic situations. and Marling, as a writer, truly seems to be that misguided and perhaps even…

my prediction? they will smugly but deservedly remain in their little niche and flatter themselves they're cult following material

fucks sake it's not tarkovsky

if you liked the ideas, consider reading up on the occult. it's basically like they said 'perfect feeling' (you set intention with deep belief and emotion) + material representation of that intention (dance/movement, ritual, anything you decide) equals magic/k

sorry, a lit major without any knowledge of Homer? from one lit major to another: please, least you can do is read the wikipedia entry. you owe it to yourself.
