Agree on all points.

I totally agree, and I plan to have a plan. I was just wondering if the possibility of a mental "boost" from having the placenta made into capsules might push it from "dumb" to "perhaps, just perhaps, worth a shot." I get that the research around the benefits of placenta consumption is nearly nonexistent, but I…

*claps*

The phenomenon you describe is precisely why Pedro Almodóvar is my favorite director. He's very, "hey, why can't this psychosexual insanity and death be fun?"

I see your point. It would be that last step that Ben Affleck needs to take to cement his place as a "real" director. Since he only acted for so many years, it's probably a bit of a habit to break. I'm sure it started as "hey, I can act AND direct!", but now that he's gotten so much positive attention for his…

Honestly, I don't think Ben Affleck suffers from a lack of credibility as a director at all. He's done a pretty damn good job proving himself on that front. And while his acting range might not be on par with Damon's, he has come into his own where that is concerned as well.

a) I would never, ever consider this. However....

Agreed. I saw Ravenous in the theater when I was a senior in high school, and though my best friend and I both loved it, the rest of the group of (incredibly lame) girls with us complained and said "ew" the whole time. It's nice to discover that others are as enthusiastic about your favorite things as you are.

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…
