Rape is not controversial. It’s just wrong. But it’s clear from your dozens of comments that the concept of rape fantasies (obviously very different from rape) is extremely controversial – and even taboo. Now, when I say “rape fantasy,” I mean a safe scenario in the bedroom between or among consenting adults. Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with rape fantasies. Why should they be different from any other sexual fantasy that gets played out in the be...

(Or perhaps you’re being held hostage at Aunt Polly’s house for the weekend.) Either way, you can combine one or two of these excuses (I highly recommend alcohol) with my gallery of ten classic movies I watch over Thanksgiving to escape all the family melodrama — albeit temporarily. But if you’re unluckly enough to have an annoying relative who plops down next to you on the ...

Our dining room tables certainly have had their fair share of turkey day blowouts over the years. So what better way to make yourself feel all warm and cozy about your own eff-ed up family than by watching the hi-jinks of even screwier relatives on film? These ten Thanksgiving movies may just make you grateful for the crazy relatives you have. Let us know your favorite Thanksgiving flicks in the comments section, and then go call your mother.

For one thing, we never managed to get perfectly tousled beach hair. Nor were we swept off our feet by a dashing leading man we met while traveling solo. Allegedly romantic situations occur in almost every movie where a woman steps onto a plane — and somehow, that sex-charged interlude has the power to make or break her vacation. (Conversely, as an audience member on a plane, you could sit through a sad excuse for a film such as The Holiday, and almost have your own vacation ruined before it begins – or at least hurl into your barf bag.) But forget history, landscapes, and foreign cultures. If there’s no dude, even for a little while, Hollywood ain’t in...

In real life, “You deplete me” is often more accurate.

Now, I’m always prepared to loathe dramatic movies that don’t rely on a real script, where the actors ad-lib the majority of their allegedly profound dialogue. (And if I never see another loaded dinner-party scene with 30-something characters laughing, interrupting each other, and hitting the audience over the head with the film’s subtext, it’ll be too soon.) But I’m not a film reviewer, and this post isn’t a film review. (Besides, I actually liked the movie, despite my best efforts not to. It was well-acted...

It also used to rationalize treating women like a lower, less intelligent race. Thank God that’s over, right? We may not get a diagnosis anymore, but we’re not sure the perception of women has necessarily taken such great strides. Just take a look at movies and TV shows: We’re still bawling, melting down, and burdening others with hysterical outbursts. Hardly empowering. Don Draper’s outburst on last week’s episode of Mad Men got lots of attention: One teary scene led to an entire Internet meme, complete with a a new blog: Sad Don Draper. Everyone stopped in their tracks at the hilarity of a grown man crying on television, but the women sobbing in our gallery (and countless TV shows and movies) hardly g...

I’m a little late to the game, but I went and saw The Kids Are All Right last night. I’ll spare you my review of the lesbian moms, sperm-donor dad, unhappy family drama, but there’s one detail that I’m still hung up on: Why are Julianne Moore and Annette Benning’s characters always brushing their teeth together? There are multiple scenes in which the two otherwise sexy women convene in their otherwise beautiful, sprawling bathroom, and in the midst of their psychoanalytic conversations, they’re constantly sticking toothbrushes into their mouths. (Toothbrush scenes are even in the preview, for Go... Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3761401 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 19:28:40 +0100 3761401
