Even if you can’t tell him what he’s doing wrong, that doesn’t mean you can’t gaslight him and slowly ruin his life.

I love umbrellas and have a large selection of them. They are beautiful and useful.

That scene was the one the legion of decency was most upset about. You can’t see Eli Walloch’s hands in that scene, and people assumed that they were up Carol Baker’s skirt or something. The truth is that both actors were freezing - it was so cold that day that they had to suck on ice cubes to keep their breath from…

In the opening scene, Baby Doll’s husband (Carl Malden) is peeking into her room and practically salivating because in a few days she will be old enough for him to legally rape. I absolutely LOVE this movie, it is a wonderfully sleazy southern gothic. It contains some fucked-up stuff, but it is so beautifully…

Eli Wallach kills in this movie. It was contemporary to a long string of gritty southern set movies like Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cool Hand Luke ect....

This is a still from the opening 5 or 6 seconds of the movie. Yes, it’s a bit provocative, no worse than Lolita. Arguably less controversial since the actress (Carroll Baker) portrays a 19 year old woman, married but still a virgin. The whole point of her character is that she is in many ways a child.

I have seen a lot of disturbing films (pink flamingos, martyrs, Inside) and I can attest that the movie Baby Doll is some fucked up business.

Right, obviously, especially because it was at the Berlin film festival.

It’s pretty obvious that’s what she was going for, yeah.

Heres a link to the wiki page but the above video and excerpts from it pretty much explain it just as well. Its kind of a subculture that rose from the internet that includes those who feel that they have been born as the wrong species entirely, this includes not only animals but mythical beings as well. There is art,…

On a related note: Chasing Lolita: How How Pop Culture Corrupted Nabakov’s Little Girl All Over Again is an interesting look about how literary critics and then Kubrik and film completely missed the point about Lolita being a book about a terribly abused child.

Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

Schrodinger’s Rapist, man. You don’t know until you know and then it’s too late.

If that were true, and women started shooting men for saying disgusting things to them or groping them in bars, I am pretty sure the anthem would be “Holy shit, it was just a comment!!!!!”

I have a confession to make: I have some stuffed animals who have names, personalities and voices. One of them is a dinosaur and when my husband showed me this video we started laughing and narrating it in its (his?) voice. It was perfect, totally in keeping with what our dinosaur would do in the snow.

Fuck yeah. I am obsessed with all things Catholic, EXCEPT I don’t actually believe in any of it. The creepy art and music from the Middle Ages? Saints? All the weird theology? Gimme.

Crime shows came way before green drinks, as fads go.
