Super real - we’ve just been conditioned to think it’s useless and/or obsessive to verbalize/listen to and then after the fact, we can’t be all I TOLLLDDD YYAAAA SOOOO either.....ugh what a vicious cycle

honestly i think most women are “low-key psychic”.

I think the movie kind of beat you over the head with the Biblical references. Overall I like Darren Aranofsky work and while this aint Black Swan it was enjoyable.

THANK YOU. I don’t have much to say that you haven’t hit upon.

Kinda sorta, but “mother!” was really an allegory where Javier Bardem is a vengeful God, Jennifer Lawrence is Mother Earth, Ed Harris and Michelle Pfeiffer are Adam and Eve, everyone else being an asshole is Man, that kind of super fun stuff.

People hated it because it was marketed as a horror film, and Aranofsky wanted people to go in blind. To Lawrence’s credit, she disagreed with him on that. I went in knowing just enough so that I could admire it (also, Michelle Pfeiffer was EVERYTHING).

I mean, there’s so many metaphors you can draw from that movie, and I haven’t even mentioned anything from the Bible yet. I just think it was a brilliant piece of art.

Ridiculous punctuation aside, mother! is one of the most heartbreakingly honest movies about the planet/human race that I’ve ever seen.

So hard! Much yelling! Such spittle!), but THIS is his…

I wish I could star this twice.

“Scotch as a category is seen as particularly intimidating by women.”

And you can write and tell your friends about it with your BIC ‘for her’ pen.

The fact that a woman was shouted down and required a security escort for departing just the tiniest bit from orthodoxy on women’s issues would give conservatives a lot to think about, if conservatives ever thought about anything.

Agreed, thanks. The conflating pro choice with “pro abortion” irks me too.

“You cannot be anti choice and feminist. Period.”

Exactly. These Wannabe Vulcan guys are all the same... They’re scared of what they’re feeling, so they put on this hysterical “I’m rational and emotionless, I’m not like you weak humans and your feelings” front. But it’s always a facade that comes with a wobbly lower lip, because what they think sounds like…

Craft Thread!

feeling [emphasis: mine] another’s pain—causes us to focus on anecdotes, favor individuals similar to us, and harbor other irrational and dangerous biases.

It completely baffles me how the people who scream the loudest about free speech have the least idea of what it actually means.
