Tell you what, we could've had a nice life together! Fucking real good life! Had us a Rivoli gig of our own. But you didn't want it, Jay! So what we got now is 2008! Everything's built on that! That's all we got, dude, fucking all. So I hope you know that, even if you don't never know the rest! You count the damn few times that we have completed plans in nearly twenty years and you measure the short fucking leash you keep me on - and then you ask me about Ottawa and you tell me you'll leave me for needing something that I don't hardly never get. You have no idea how bad it gets! And I'm not you - I can't make it on a coupla high-altitude schemes once or twice a year! You are too much for me, Bird, you sonofawhoreson bitch! I wish I knew how to quit you.

Humiliated again…

"masculine role models" lol

[soup-mother]

"masculine role models" were a scam invented by men (who themselves are also a scam invented by men, it's complicated) to cement the patriarchal family as the only possible way to raise a child and justify keeping "fathers" around. It doesn't necessarily have to be a nuclear family, but kids *obviously* need some masculine influence to teach them it's not ok to be a woman. Otherwise they'd grow up soy.

Masculinity is a social pact that reproduces itself via violent enforcement and reinforcement between men and you should not be giving them any more victim-members or treating it as the natural way of the world.

Anyone who tries to convince you of some genuine psychological need for "masculine role models" in a kids life is a wacko gender shill trying to justify the patriarchy all the unimaginable horrors that come with it, and you should probably kick them in the shins.

> "Negative impact of lacking male role models/a father in childhood development"

> look inside

> 99% just the negative impacts of childhood poverty from being raised by a single mother

[aueua]

people with siblings: how do you feel about them?

[mummer]

you can put on the west side story soundtrack and make yourself a cake at a leisurely pace. and she will reach for you

I enjoyed a lot your gay matt damon ranking but just a note... in the martian review you say "The Martian is a quintessentially nonromantic and nonsexual character, like some sort of friendly robot, or a cute puppy." I understand the feeling, but aromantic and asexual people exist, and to label someone who doesn't have romance or sex as "a robot" or "a pet" can honestly feel quite insulting to aspec folks...

certainly not my intention. I believe the Martian from The Martian is canonically smooth down there like a barbie doll.

Every Matt Damon Movie, Ranked By How Gay He Is In Them

And yes, I mean every single one.

here is the full and unadulterated result of two gruelling months of extensive cinematic research in the name of science progress and cultural literature. Thank you to my generous benefactors: miramax, liz lemon, ben affleck, and the city of boston!

[mummer]

the rankings have once again been updated to include his performance in THE ODYSSEY. this placement may cause controversy

[valtsv]

"here's my original character, Man Who Sucks But Loves His Daughter Very Much" and it's a guy who worships at the altar of patriarchal violence and the woman he uses as an excuse and an effigy to absolve him

[valtsv]

well i think his daughter should tell him to kill himself

[mummer]

elliot page’s role in the odyssey is kinda astounding. really amazing work in such a short time. worth the price of admission

[mummer]

the odyssey being part of the Blood World canon

[mummer]

yeah it was really good.

[mummer]

wasnt sure where it was all going until that third act turn into war flashbacks and damon does that one monologue and the whole story gets totally recontextualized. cried. need to rewatch it with that in mind now because. jesus

[mummer]

yeah it was really good.

[reallyreallyreallytrying]

nip over to troy, bit of rough and tumble, big horse, bish bash bosh, back home to ithaca. simple as
