meltzer: “Both films are about film-making with, seemingly, women at the center. But this is just a red herring, because they are really about the primacy of males.” Joon on the “softcore misogyny” (love it) of Broken Embraces and Nine. Whoa. Yowza! I’m not sure I entirely agree with this but I’ll sure be thinking about it for a long time. (Also, Nine was GARBAGE! Politically,...

Two facts and a question
magicmolly: Fact #1: I remember being deeply moved at age fourteen by a Sex and the City episode called “Games People Play”. Original air date: August 29, 1999. AND THAT’S WHEN I SLAMMED THE COMPUTER SHUT AND WENT OUTSIDE.

kryz: pareene: rendit: The Greatest Christmas Movies of All Time, In Order 2. The Apartment 1. Batman Returns Dude. Die Hard. Life of Brian. Duh.
