"The fucking way I fucking died was really fucking lame" FTFY.
Or better yet, stop circumcising boys too. Mutilating anyone's genitals is reprehensible. Just to uphold some barbaric traditions or for aesthetic reasons. I don't buy the hygiene excuse, either. Parents, or guardians, can teach their children how to wash themselves down there.
Not my style, but a solid 7/10. This song always makes me think of Karl Pilkington's unusual interpretation of the lyrics.
People of all backgrounds are capable of being shallow. Men are just more open about it because it's a societal norm, and people who they have some superficial characteristics in common with have shaped society, and influenced them from childhood to desire fake women who look like a parody of femininity.
Just as there are women and gay men who only go for guys who are over six feet tall, square jawed, tanned, ripped, and with a full head of thick, perfectly coiffed hair. This may not seem as shallow and damaging a standard to uphold, if in your mind men hold all the power in society.
I would say rich, middle aged and elderly men are the most powerful people, but everyone else falls far below. Rich women, even those who are not deemed physically attractive are still much more respected in this world than a middle class white guy.
It's true that it seems within any class, women are not as respected as the men of similar social standing. I'd like to see a world where people aren't judged solely for their immutable characteristics.
I was born into a working class family, had no father figure growing up, couldn't afford to go to college, have severe mental illness, issues with my body and still I don't feel that the world owes me anything.
Sure, there's a lot I would like to have, but I'd have to beat the odds and become rich and successful.
I distract myself by consuming literature and art. I've made peace with the fact that I'll never be rich or beautiful. I'm not telling you how to live your life, just that buying into the hype around beauty, social status, wealth and opulence et cetera, is just a way to make everyone into a mindless consumer.
Some of the wisest, most down to earth, humble people I've known have been women. Often butch lesbians. Living a life without desire for men, not seeking their approval can lead to fulfillment. I can understand how conflicted it would make someone if they're sexually interested in men, but every guy they meet is shallow.
Hope they include the rat scene.
My top 3 are Alfie from 'Alfie', Milo Tindolini from 'Sleuth', and Harry Brown from 'Harry Brown' but he's been great in a lot of movies.
Interesting. I've always enjoyed Spacey's performances. He's been in some of my favourite films. However, I can't imagine him ever being an A-Lister again.
My opinion on his personal life is that he's probably done some inappropriate things, but I can't know for certain and it's pretty much irrelevant. So I'll continue watching shows and movies he's in.
The Vengeance Trilogy (2002 - 2005) by Chan-wook Park.
That's because it's an obvious case of getting grafts from the back of his head to fill in the top, but the problem is his hairline is so receded that the density on top looks a bit odd.
It's not particularly full by any means though. He also has to keep it pretty long to make it appear fuller, especially in the back where he has less than usual density due to the removed hairs.
I agree, it's hilarious. Right up there with Frasier, Fawlty Towers, and Soap in my estimation. I haven't rewatched it in nearly a decade, but I'm probably due for a rewatch.
He had a great and distinctive voice too.
I don't rewatch movies much. I did as a kid, I'd watch the same movie every day for weeks on end... but from the point where could buy, or had fast enough internet to download movies, I've only rewatched specific films a few times at most.
If given the chance to discover something new, I'll usually take it even if it might be less than great. I don't watch movies as often as I did before Youtube was a thing.
You're probably joking or trolling, but in all seriousness, not pigeonholing one's self into a gender binary can be liberating for some people.
I'll avoid calling anyone's motivations for publicly identifying as non-binary into question.
I feel that most people have a mix of physical and mental traits that could be ascribed to one of the two commonly recognized genders.
When I was a teenager, I shaved or waxed my body hair, painted my nails, and wore tight outfits for a few years. I could have been considered what some people call a 'femboy' these days.
As I grew older, I started dressing less flamboyantly and cut my hair short.
Nowadays, I'm bald with a beard and wear jeans, flannel shirts, and Doc Martens, but experimenting with my fashion sense was probably a healthy part of growing up.
It seems that these days, a lot of people take it a bit further and in addition to their appearance they want to try out different personas. What makes this seem a bit silly is when they try to control how other people refer to them or overly complicate things.
Do it for yourself, not to get some validation or respect from others.
True. I saw this movie once, back in the mid-2000s, yet I can still vividly recall those scenes.
I usually don't have trouble separating actors from their characters, but in this case I always think of her as Dawn from 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'.
Part of me finds her hot, but then I'm reminded of what a brat she played in the role I most associate her with. Someone would have to be practically flawless looking for me to be attracted to them if I disliked their personality. This probably shouldn't be the case with fictional characters.
She looked great in the show 'Six Feet Under', and that character was different enough that I could be less biased in my assessment of her.

The name it generated for me was Rock Adonis... Which brings to mind The Rock, Rocky Balboa, or Rock Hudson. All of whom are far more muscular and/or a good half a foot taller than I am.
As for the Adonis part... Well, I do look Greek, but more like a random villager you'd see in some historical or fantasy/adventure movie.
It'll probably straddle the line between woke and appealing to middle America. Unless Disney wants to alienate around 30% of their potential audience.
Personally, woke messages in movies only bother me if they don't fit with the rest of what the movie's trying to convey thematically.
'Captain Marvel' had a few moments that felt hamfisted, but it wasn't terrible over all. The inclusion of Coulson and Nick Fury saved it from being below average.
The series 'Jessica Jones' on Netflix, was pretty woke, but it's first season was almost on par with Daredevil.
People are complaining about 'She-Hulk', but it's too soon to tell. Although, going off the writer's tweets, it could potentially be a complete mess if she wasn't reigned in at all.
In any case, I doubt that the MCU will ever be as unwatchably woke as that CW show, 'Batwoman'.
