My only contribution to the whole 'sex scenes' discourse is that I have never seen a single sex scene in Lars von Trier's films that is sexy. Not one. There's always something repulsive, if not violent; at best, his sex scenes are still devoid of something & not sexy.

The real reason they’re trying to stop athletes from having sex at the Olympics is that it doesn’t advance the plot.

Hahahahhaa.

This reminds me, name your favourite dogs in films.
One of mine is the dog in 'The Artist' (RIP). Messi in 'Anatomy of a Fall' is another.

Not too bad, I guess, considering that I've only read it once & it's about 14 years ago.

I tend to say 'Bleak House', but I would second any love & praise for 'Wuthering Heights'. Terrific novel!

something off about this girl wearing a hoodie in a 1940s movie. like I know they've been around a while but it's another thing to see one next to cary grant

(These anti-sex people are fucking weird)

The vast majority of canonic works are canonic for a reason.

This tortoise understood it can go much faster with the help of a vehicle: it also learned how to make effective turns.

Himadri wrote a 'spin-off' of my centuries blog post & now I wonder what's the point of blogging when I only write nonsense & Himadri writes like that???
This is so good, check it out.
