Damon Albarn's work on that score blew me away. As much as I appreciate Jonny Greenwood's film score work with PT Anderson, I think Albarn is severely underrated, and just as good a rock musician who made the leap to scoring films.

A VIEW SHARED BY ME! I came here to literally say the exact same thing, but I see you've beat me to it. Ravenous is not only the most underrated horror film of the last 20 years, it's also one of the best horror films of all time. Antonia Bird was a genius and thanks to this film, I'll never forget her.
You're a nicer person than me, because "garage gets robbed" would be a wholly unsatisfying bit of justice compared to the the violent fantasy that would exist in my head. Their garage getting robbed would probably just make me more restless for something really bad to happen to them.
The Narrator from Fight Club is my longest-running Fantasy Fuck. Get out of the frame, Brad Pitt.
My relationship with Wes Anderson films is a strange one. I adored Rushmore. It's one of my favorite movies. Then I went on to hate, hate, HATE The Royal Tenembaums, The Life Acquatic and The Darjeeling Limited. I feel like he quickly became a yes, "twee" parody of himself. Drove me nuts. Just the thought of Ben…
Yes. His argument is indeed bullshit. That's some seriously eyeroll-worthy mansplaining.
I share Lindy's love affair with the fantastic and versatile word "dude," and there are literally no situations in which it's inappropriate.
Stef to Benny, deadpan: *sigh* "You really are worthless, aren't you?" and "let's go get you some food. Some ribs, or something."
Yeah, the whole Blaine/Ducky dichotomy is missing the point. How sexy, a choice between a real, live potato and a "nice guy" stalker. No thanks. I'll take option 3.
Hell yes. Love of Secretary and Spader is as good a basis for friendship as anything. And I don't mean that facetiously at all. Seriously.
Yes! He's ashamed of being a dominant because he can't accept that it doesn't make him a bad person, until Lee's grand wedding dress-pissing gesture. And the scene where he tells her she'll never cut herself again — woof. THAT VOICE.
Ok, obviously I'm very late to this party, but I had to comment because I'm so excited to see a mention of Simon's In Sheep's Clothing and Character Disturbance, which I think are highly underrated books for understanding manipulation and control. I especially appreciate Simon's distinction between the truly neurotic…
Yeah, you and me both. It's definitely one of my favorite movies of all time, and probably the most brilliantly cast. So many amazing moments. I mean, it should be creepy, what with the power differential, but it isn't, because he's just as vulnerable. The scene where he hides from his ex? The red sharpie on the…
Guuuuuuuhhhhh. This whole scene is just too much. James Spader completely erased the line between pervy and insanely hot in that film.
Shit, I'll wear leggings in every color. I just got some gray and black tie-dye ones and they look fierce.
Hanging with Nick Swardson and John Stamos seems like it would be a completely awesome, if incredibly random, sort of evening.
The male partners at my firm dress horrendously as well, but they don't give a crap what I wear, which is nice.
It's not that this is bad advice, per se, but I don't know how common this really is among female attorneys. In my experience working in law, the female attorneys are not only more put-together appearance-wise, they are, across the board, more professional, more straightforward, less whiny, more interested in doing…
This is so, so true. I work at a law firm and my whole building is lawyers. I see this every day. The female attorneys wear tailored suits and smart heels and always look great and put together. Of the three partners at my firm, one wears the shirt he ran in that morning, one wears ties with, like, cartoons on…
