i liked the acoustic fort minor in the background during the fast forward scenes.

nothing wrong with being a nerd... male or female!

"i may not have responded as you would have liked me to respond" -- i think that statement definitely resonated with me

i'm having a hard time making the causal connection between porn and what sound like malicious, unsolicited sex acts. it seems like an impossible to prove or even research theory...

from my perspective, rapists or molesters seek some sort of need-fulfillment that goes beyond what can easily be provided via imagination (in the form of pornographic fantasies). at least in the porn i've ever viewed, i'm not 'treated' to seemingly vicious sex acts. most of the time it strikes me as unrealistic sex with the exaggerated 'throes of passion' and needless wacky positioning. at any rate, i'm inclined to believe that people who regularly watch porn don't go outside afterwards looking for someone to abuse and mimic the recently-viewed fantasies. in fact, i think suggesting that is just absurd.

.. the whole, 'columbine massacre was caused by video games' fallacy .. but applied to porn. i think hunter s thompson hit on this in a great tongue-in-cheek one-liner: "KNOW YOUR DOPEFIEND... his pants will be crusted with semen from constantly jacking off when he can't find a rape victim."

on a separate note, i think it's also interesting and appropriate that the same genre (burlesque dance) can elicit ranging responses. that's precisely why it is art, in the sense that modern art can often be provocative. some will say these dances empower the woman. it's her tease, it's her show, she is in control; there is no expectation of nudity like a strip club (meat market), and it would be unfair to consider the two together. on the flip side, some will say this is a degradation of her being: reduction to a 'sex object'. i mean, i hate to think of myself being reduced to one particular aspect of my personality, but this is precisely what happens when i go to work. they only care that i write code.

well, she *is* at work after all...

*dead just fyi

cronenberg did an adaptation of JG ballard's Crash novel... i thought that was a neat choice, considering how dark the theme. i'm interested to see what other films he's directed

forsake the cake!!

303 is central colorado, if you were curious like me

i can't stop laughing... such amazing creativity from a portion of the brain that should be naturally selected out in most of us

"this guys vocal inflection is so peculiar."

if i had to guess, it sounds like he is a native slavic or germanic speaker and learned english from a british teacher

i can't get over the sound of the stenographer in the background, or whatever it is. "SHH he'll hear you typing!"

i am new to the sift, but would this classify as *long?

is that a real tune or just the theme from Willow? heh, it seems so familiar
