Well, a vacation certainly goes awfully fast, doesn’t it, when you’re having a good time. Joanne Woodward in Paris Blues (1961) dir. Martin Ritt

me: amy dunne is a sympathetic character to most women not because she is a a good person, but because she shows us one of the most haunting characteristics of our society that we can all relate to, which is that having to grow up and exist as a woman in this world can be enough to turn anyone into a monster.  i would even go so far as to argue that the villain in the novel gone girl by gillian flynn is not amy dunne or even nick dunne, but that it is the societal pressures placed on women that so often drive them to insanity, which they are then blamed for as if they are at fault for the ruin placed upon them by others. so i guess that’s why it’s my favorite movie and why i believe the current movement in the genre of psychological thriller revolving around the trials and tribulations of womanhood is better than anything created by male authors who have attempted “social commentary” through novels in the past.

straight guy who im talking to: haha damn that’s crazy… so you a virgin?

Sometimes I think about those high res Jupiter pics and then think about Van Gogh and get emotional because it’s like this one, lonely man that didn’t experience an ounce of fame or recognition in his life time had the image of the universe in his head and he didn’t know it.
