Also, I hope I haven't come off as harsh or argumentative. I'm just someone who has struggled with mental illness and and also has a narcissistic mother.

If you like camp, but with a side of gravitas, you'll probably enjoy The Paperboy. Nicole Kidman gave her best performance since To Die For. Cusack will chill you to the bone and McConaughey is devastating. Efron is solid.

You're not the first person to call personality disorders mental illness, but the DSM does not. The following is a description of personality disorders according to the DSM-V, but DSM-IV did not categorize them as mental illnesses, either:

I feel like Tim Robbins doesn't get nearly enough credit for his skill as a comedic actor.

That is categorically NOT evidence of mental illness. Being a psychopath does NOT make one mentally ill, and they are categorically NOT the same thing. It is incredibly demeaning to the mentally ill to conflate their struggles with the behavior of psychopaths like Ted Bundy or Ariel Castro. It drives me to…

"In any case, the Tea Party is pretty unique, and no there is nothing on the other side that compares because the extremists on the liberal side don't get elected into office."

I doubt Elizabeth Warren even wants to run for president. And despite her recent entry to elected politics, she's hardly a stranger to government. Being jazzed about the notion of her running for President (really more of a fantasy football pick) is hardly on par with the collective monstrosity of hateful yokeldom…

I'm pretty sure the crop of Tea Party mouthbreathers now populating Congress, with its signature mix of willful ignorance and pure hate, has forever taken the shine off of the concept of "new blood" in politics.

I am a diehard Bill Maher fan, and I thought that was one of his best rants in a while.

That's not what happened at all, actually.

"Life's hard for the socially inept. But it'd definitely be nice if parents raised their children to not make their issues someone else's problem. I tell my teenage brother all the time, in the midst of a larger more nuanced discussion about girls and relationships, that he better not fucking blame his shit on some…

The Judge Judy thing makes so much sense. I mean, OF COURSE.

Yup, I read it the same way at first. And I appreciate your dude's take on guys and their "next level" relationship-based craziness. I'm sure many will disagree, and there are always exceptions, but I think the root of it is that men in our culture still tend to have a built-in sense of entitlement about not only…

Yeah, I feel like this story would have been a lot more satisfying with more context.

Come on, we need to know which home repair show it was. I recently learned that there are a LOT of HGTV fans around these parts.

Nicholas Cage confuses the shit out of me. He's obviously a great actor, but he does so much crap. Yet he will periodically come out with some great performance to make everyone go, "hmmm." It has to be because he's, you know, a little crazy.

"He's the hottest boxer in the world right now."

Yup. What other witch has been involved in somthing this creepy? 23 years later and I'm still not over that girl trapped in the painting.

Yup, sounds like Bruce, all right.

Oh jesus, he even calls himself a "nice guy."
