Strange as it is, the relationship with Soon-Yi Previn was a relationship between consenting adults and they are still together to this day. When you are in a seemingly successful May-December relationship that is likely to be mirrored in your movies and I don’t know that that’s entirely problematic.

I called this out and said in a previous comment thread that I hoped that the Vidal pic wouldn’t get pulled. So disappointing, if fucking love Gore Vidal. But I’m not gonna miss HoC. I hope Robin Wright gets a show of her own with a better writing team.

This would be a great way for Netflix to debut its new show, “The Mao Tse Tung Hour.”

It’s well-known that literally nobody has been kidnapped since the advent of cellphones.

He’s still on the A.V. Club commenter’s hate list, but he’s lower on the list than say, Kinja or youth.

Also, if you are checking out modern gay lit—if you haven’t already, do give Jamie O’Neill’s At Swim, Two Boys, which I think is (if we have to have one) the gay masterpiece from the past 25 years. Apparently, O’Neill has been in a state of writer’s block ever since, but the novel is moving, brilliant and outstanding.…

The good/frustrating thing about Hollinghurst is, as he says, he’s a very slow writer (commonly, there seems to be six years between novels) so it’s not all that daunting to get through his works... But if you do become a fan, can be frustrating waiting (I discovered him a year before Line of Beauty).
I’m unabashedly…

Just started Alan Hollinghurst’s new novel, The Sharpsholt Affair. He’s my current fave literary (whatever that means) author, and I’ve been waiting for this since it was announced, and then waiting constantly for it to come in the mail (like a lot of major British releases, it’s not getting a N America release for…

When he gets old and fat it will naturally expand adding a refectory and an abbey

In fairness when he said “You will love my dick.” he meant his impression of her late father, Philip K Dick. 

Why would you think I want to see a photo of Marilyn Manson wearing a very revealing dress?

Is it weird that the MRAs are still desperately clinging to a term that originated with two transwomen?

Wouldn’t a “crypto furry” be someone who enjoys dressing up as a sasquatch or yeti?

“Which team are you on? It or The Thing?”

Still not as bad as Steven Universe fans though.

The best explanation I heard was this. So many of these guys are the basement dwelling stereotypes you read about, the ones who can’t get a date. They’ve convinced themselves that it’s because they like comics and SF and fantasy and nerdy things that girls don’t get. Now, with more and more women becoming fans and…

What bothers me is that people seem to forget that this is a comedy show - often, Rick will not do what is most ‘in character’ but instead what is ‘funniest’. It’s not a documentary on <b>The Life Of Rick Sanchez</b> - it’s a comedy. Very often, Rick will do or say what the writers find to be the funniest thing for…

I’ve been saying this for years: Fuck fans. You don’t own shit, you didn’t do shit, you’re just a customer. You don’t like the product anymore, go shop somewhere else. You’re not entitled to a goddamn thing.

I read that one reason Brando was so miserable on set was that the day production started the French set off an underwater atomic bomb near an atoll he owned near Tahiti.
