I find him repulsive now but he looks like he might actually be fairly hot in a decade or so, once his face loses the remaining baby smoothness (and slight chub in the cheeks) and he can grow hair on it.

I was just thinking the same. Damn if that isn’t a testament to the magic of make up.

Probably botox too, though.

WAIT.

The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood of the Traveling Spongebob Square Pants: 2 Furious Fellowship of the Star Wars Finding Nemo.

Highest grossing flick of all time before a frame has even been shot.

LOL yeah in the same year I ended up with copies of the janet. album and Madonna’s Erotica, about that age. By the time my first time came along a few years later I was READY.

Yeah and that movie-version-of-the-musical is like a textbook case of how sometimes stage musicals DON’T translate well to the film medium (even if, ironically, it was a film first).

Agree. And this part:

That appears to be a reference to Brendan O’Brien, an OPD officer who died by suicide in May, leaving a note saying he and other officers had sex with a teenager. O’Brien’s wife also died by suicide in the same house 15 months before.

Bring it Mr. Refn. I’m one of those weirdos that loved Only God Forgives and I’m soooooo ready for this.

As someone who wore pants not far from that during my late 90s raver daze I say NO LEAVE THEM BACK IN THE PAST.

WAIT WHAT THIS IS RIGHT BY WHERE MY PARENTS LIVE HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS.

I’ve been wishing to the Cosmos for a proper comeback for Noni for a long time now, so this makes me happy. And as a longtime horror fan with a particular soft spot for 80s horror this looks especially pleasing!

This is actually probably true, if by “cyborg” you actually mean in the midst of a manic episode.

Haha no I know! That’s why I said long beards like that can often be silly (though sometimes ok). Glad you’re not one of those no-facial-hair-ever folks!

Really? As a gay man I’ve been loving the facial hair renaissance of the last several years. Granted long beards like that are usually a little ridic, but anything from scruff to a well kept beard can usually increase a guy’s hotness 9 times out of 10. Facial hair is like make up for adult men. At this point I think…

I wasn’t involved in it but my year they set the pool on fire.

Have you ever heard the first Julie Ruin album, the one Kathleen did as a solo album between BK and LT? If you haven’t heard it you should totally check it out.

I’m a longtime fan of both BK and LT, but also haven’t loved much of (the new incarnation of) the Julie Ruin. That first album she did under that moniker is…

Yeah seriously. Chase sucks and all but if I were to make a mistake like this it would definitely result in at least a call from them.

Wouldn’t it be funny if her husband ends up divorcing her out of embarrassment for all the backlash over her crap writing?

This. My mom has bipolar disorder, and it’s infuriating how figurative that term’s become. Like, no, changing one’s mind often or being mercurial isn’t the same thing. At all. And it’s insulting to anyone that either suffers from the disorder or has a loved one that does to cheapen it that way.

Cheeseheads.
