Do any school bullies really grow out of it?

I agree with the Doc’s point but I found the cool girl speech very heavy handed in Gone Girl. 

Yes

It’s depressing if you want more than friendship. 

Does it also bother you that you don’t know why Iago hates Othello and wants to destroy him?

No, men are not oppressed but then neither are women in the West. However, both men and women can be victims of violence.

I’ll bite. Why should Mitchum be in the clink?

What use is friendship if you want to bump uglies?

Being friendzoned is something being done to a man (or woman). It’s being put in the undatable section. It happens to all of us at one time or another. It’s not a misogynistic term in itself just a lighthearted and fairly accurate term for something depressingly real. 

Some Kind of Wonderful is hardly the lesser film. It actually nails the romance better than PIP which never quite solved the Duckie problem - too many sympathised with him as the friendzone boy left alone. The ending of SKOW has a masterly performance from Mary Stuart Masterson who face goes from resignation to…

That would have far too heavy handed in its message. 

What a thundering bore Keira Knightley must be. So called progressives are the new joyless (and hysterical) puritans. 

“When her call for woodland friends is answered by the vermin of New York City.”  Yes, I don’t care for New Yorkers myself. 

Yes, two parents is generally better than one for the future success of the child. How unfortunate it is when reality didn’t get the progressive memo. 

Christmas isn’t only a Christian festival. 

Why would you ever feel guilty about something that gives you pleasure, unless it involves something dodgy involving animals and/or children?

Funny films in which the couple don’t overcome obstacles and end up together are not romantic comedies, they’re just funny films about a failed romance. 

How can anyone not be a fan of Cukor?

“if a man behaves badly, somewhere there’s a woman who’s at fault.” I’ve heard that sad of badly behaved women far more. Is that misandry?

It’s a funny line. Don’t be such a pearl clutcher.
