Every time I think I’m clever I read Sady and realize the absurdity of the thought. This was spot on. Her kung fu is strong.

I read this review whenever I am feeling down. It makes my tummy hurt from laughing. Goes without saying that it’s brilliant and astute as well as hilarious.

[...] Long post ahead, riddled with TVtropes bombs. If you haven’t read Sady’s post, you should read it now, because I am disagreeing with her and you’ll want the context! Also, if for some reason you [...]

P.S. Sorry about the hyperbole, but I needed to impress upon you how important it is that you watch this, and get back to me. Especially if you’re doing romantic movies right now.

If you can’t resist liking Billy Zane for this you triple-super-must watch Sally Potter’s film Orlando. Zane plays the Byronic hero, who incidentally used to be a woman, who falls in love with Tilda Swinton, who used to be a man. The bit where they meet is the most perfect (both small and large R) Romantic scene ever committed to celluloid, and I will watch it over and over until the day I die.

@al_zorra: It’s not that I doubt poor-haters existed (or, for that matter, that they exist today). It’s that I seriously fucking doubt “Titanic” is the most accurate, realistic, responsible, and intelligent portrayal of early-20th-century class dynamics in existence. “Titanic” is many things, but Upton Sinclair it ain’t.
