That ‘more evolved’ argument is just the ‘boys will be boys’ argument wrapped up in faux-flattering pandering. Like, ‘oh, women are so much more advanced we can’t help but behave terribly in comparison’. Some real bullshit right there.

This guy was interviewed on CBC’s Q this morning and sounded like an insufferable wanker. And I always distrust men who say women are more evolved than men.

It’s because women’s worth as human beings in our society is reduced to their worth as sexual objects, and trying to exercise some control over how beautiful you are is something that women have to grapple with in order to survive, and that’s not something that men can experience in the same way. You can’t castigate…

I only read a summary of the movie and now I feel ill.

Thank you for doing the world a service - sounds atrocious and like “I know it when I see it” territory. Saw Elle on Fallon, and they had a clip, and Fallon was uncomfortable talking about the movie really at all. He just said “wow, it’s dark” and laughed uncomfortably. Makes Kids (my generation) sound like a Sunday…

Plus there’s gratuitous pedophilic rape just for tension and plot device. SO SHOCKING. Yay for lazy men and sensationalized writing!

I am a woman. I have a fantasy of being a little newspaper barker boy from the 1920's, wearing a jaunty hat and shouting “Papahs! Get ya papahs right heayah folks! Today’s headline is a real whoppah, see?”

I watched a couple episodes of Californiacation, which I regret, and at one point some book publisher is referring to the main character’s manuscript as “the sexiest thing written since Lolita.”

I will never find it intellectually stimulating for a man to condemn women who are obsessed with beauty.

Like Lars Von Trier but even more tiresome.

“Earlier you said all men have a fantasy of being teenage girls. Do you still have that fantasy?”

I kinda want to be a teenage girl but only because I figure that would mean I understand what Snapchat is.

Because it looks pretty and has a good soundtrack, so it’s easy to pick when you want to appear like a cultured cinemaphile, even if it really just betrays you as a hipster.

omg thank you I’m so glad I’m not the only one who fucking hate that movie. YAWN FEST.

I’m sorry is he... is he implying that maybe Lolita is the “demon” in that story because men = dumb and women = sophisticated? What the actual fuck.

This pretentious ass movie somehow managed to be repulsive and yet boring as fuck at the same time.

I love how this dude keeps yammering on and on about how authentic to the real fashion industry his film is, and then he sets it in Los Angeles.

Sound about like what I’d expect. Shout out to you for absorbing that bullet for us.

Lest we forget, “Drive” was pretentious, derivative, garbage. I have no idea why this hack gets so much praise.

It felt like an adult male lesbian fantasy to me the whole time. I honestly couldn’t believe a movie could be that bad.
