That's why we need to go back to the Elizabethan theater model! So we can see Jeremy Irons playing Ophelia!
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I hate everybody.

Yup.
So we can see Jeremy Irons playing Ophelia!
....
Okay, I kind of want to see that.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Tying the two threads together, the main reason I find it hard to call myself a Cronenberg fan (apart from the fact that I just don't do gross-out horror) is that his female characters always make me cringe. There's always something that just makes me go "Um, okay, no."

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I hate everybody.
passes Sean the Fernet and a cigarette
Hey! I was hating everybody WAY before Sean and nobody's ever given me Fernet and a cigarette!
My hatred for everybody deepens.

We offered you a bottle of Boone's Farm and some rolling papers, but no, you had to hold out for better.

I didn't have anything to put in the papers.
Hatred. Deepening.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
You know the bit in Grizzly Man with the voiceover about how the universe is driven by chaos and destruction? I got that quote put on a tshirt. With "I love my animal friends" on the back.
I was wearing it whilst speaking to one of the Serenity actors once, and they stopped, read the front, and backed away. I had to say, 'Oh no! It's from a film!'. I'm glad they never saw the back.

Like how deeply stupid Naomi Watts' character is in Eastern Promises ?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Dana beat me to the "Why did I read the comments". Thanks for having my back, yo.
