Thank you. Marisa Tomei never became a huge star, but she has stayed a consistently employed, respected actress, and has been TWICE nominated for an Oscar since her win (In the Bedroom and The Wrestler). A pretty enviable career, I would say.

Really? I've never heard this side of things. I've always just heard the more sexual partner should just STFU and be unsatisfied sexually for the rest of their life, and masturbate if they need to get off that badly. As if sex is never an expression of love, but simply some physical itch that is scratched by orgasm.…

Can't even begin to fathom why and how you could make assumptions like that based on a picture, but enjoy the view from your high horse.

I think what he's trying to say is right-on. But what he's trying to say is about body diversity, not about trans models. Trans models aren't a problem. The problem is that the fashion industry excludes models that have body shapes that look like the kind of bodies that a lot of women have. He's right to be concerned…

We may not approve of the methods they used to get there, but hey, in the end all that matters is that they can put Olympic Halfpipe Champion on their resumes.

I mean, that seems sort of par for the course for the entertainment industry. Didn't you watch "Entourage" or "Californication"?

My mother used to teach Film Studies at a university and most of her students had no idea who Steve McQueen the actor was (this frequently occurred before Steve McQueen the director made his first feature length film). They also interchanged Laurence Olivier with Lawrence of Arabia on a regular basis.

DEPRESSION & ANXIETY THREAD.

I know there's a hefty handful of us here dealing with mental health issues. I thought it might be helpful to do a little crowdsourcing regarding what we've found helpful in managing these issues. Share the issues you're struggling with and/or your suggestions for others. At best, we'll…

I'm wondering how you got in touch with the doctors who are giving you crappy, "think positive" advice? Because it seems to me that there has to be a way before going to see them to see what methods they specialize in. It sounds like you could use someone who would work with you on behavioral modification, and help…

Can I make a suggestion?

Psychiatrists are fantastic, but given the state of our mental health system they rarely do therapy anymore. Psychologists know a lot of theoretical stuff, but sometimes have a hard time making it practical.

Consider a social worker. We're often a more down-to-earth bunch...but, obviously,…

Do you live in NY? Because I've been to a bunch of psychologists and psychiatrists before, but I saw one 2012-2013 and my life is so much better now. So I can recommend.

First, I think it's great that you're seeking help. Second, all of these doctors are failing you—it's their job to provide practical advice. If you don't think that they are the right doctor for you, seek a referral. It is, afterall, a business.

That tracking shot was completely mind-blowing. I'm an actor and have done shorter, much less complex versions of tracking shots and those are just incredibly difficult on their own. I cannot even fathom how they managed to get so many intensely timed things so perfect. RIDICULOUS.

I too have spent...perhaps too…

Seriously, I think I remember one of of the girls from one of the what, early 2000's team having a family that was able to build a mini-rink on their propery for her.

People who have regular parents...even flawed but slightly normal parents just do not get it and they never will. God bless them. They cant fathom a world where the person who is supposed to be your safe place to fall...the person who is supposed to make everything better...is actually the person you have to protect…

Unfortunately this is who I keep imagining.

Based on my psych training from too many tv procedurals, the underlying pathology could always have been but the divorce could be the trigger event for him to act on the pathology.

This is super sad.

There is a group of skater boys that live in my apartment building. They are probably between the ages of 10 and 15, and 5 or so of them skate together after school every day, frequenting the sidewalks and areas where I walk my dog. My dog is very skittish and gets really scared at the sound or sight of a skateboard.

I changed careers at 38 and am very glad I did. However, I have never been poor. Also, I don't know if I would have played it safer if my husband hadn't had a good job.
