Reply to Is Marilyn Monroe a “role model”? by davesthread
-
Marilyn Monroe isnt a role model she's an icon. Young women like her because she's sexy, glamorous, and had a relatively large dress size by celeb women standards.

That wasnt a biopic and you probably have a very distorted idea of who she was and what she's known for irl.

His earlier work isn't worse either tho, so it's wrong to say the highest point came late. Is all Im saying.

Sure but I think he peaked back then, has had other things since that were as good but not BETTER.
OP hasn't watched a lot of it and I think they should.

>how morbid the staff are and how close to death the customers are without knowing it
Also how there is a relationship of inherent trust between customers and chefs insofar as customers trust chefs to be safe and not poison them.

Go watch stuff like Videodrome, Existenz, Dead Ringers, Crash etc.

This. Those are bangers. LONG LIVE THE NEW FLESH!
Sure his more mainstream films like History of Violence are good but he was already on fire long before that.
Hell even his earliest stuff is pretty good.

Reply to comment by Sonny_Crockett_1984 in What are some very obscure, 90s-era Tarantino rip-offs by GrudenGrinder
Yeah I never understand why people think this is Tarantinoesque.
I guess the story has its roots in the same tradition of stuff like Elmore Leonard, Robert Alter etc. But it has very different beats to a Tarantino.

Reply to comment by Dr_D-R-E in A question on the history of perineal stitches after giving birth by Endorion
Like I just said, I don't think pre emptive threats are the way to go either
While I appreciate your comment I think it would be more productively directed at the woman upthread who is talking about actually PHYSICALLY threatening her obstetrician before she gives birth.
I'm an old Australian man living in Australia so Im not part of this situation. I was just trying to point out to her that malpractice is generally illegal since it keeps happening to redditors.
Come to think of it not sure what country she's from either.

Speaking from the reads American women's experiences on reddit and facebook perspective:
I don't think pre emptive threats are the way to go either but it's definitely still a thing in places over there.
If I was a woman giving birth I would want to specifically mention it to the obstetrician to feel them out and make my stance on it super clear. Why leave something like that up to chance.

It's medical malpractice so you should also mention the lawsuits and complaints to licensing board that you will visit upon them as well.

Reply to Please recommend me some Daniel Day Lewis films. Denzel is my fav actor. Let’s see if this Daniel kid has talent. by Beginning_Parfait_47
They are all good. If you want to see his RANGE then watch In The Name Of The Father and The Age Of Innocence back to back.
They were playing at the same time in my local cinema so I saw em both, and when I realised it was the same guy I freaked out.

Reply to comment by Dove_of_Doom in Regarding Hannibal Lecter’s line, “Your bleeding has stopped.” by amboy_connector
It has nothing to do with vaginas when women smell different when they're on their period.
It's subtle differences in their breath/taste of their mouth and their skin. It's not always noticeable, and it's usually something only an intimate partner would ever pick up on.
I think u/amboy_connector is right, I've always assumed it had two meanings and Lecter deliberately left it ambiguous.

Reply to comment by Turbulent-Mango-2698 in Leonardo DiCaprio still refuses to date a woman Over 25 [u/TrustLittleBrother's updated design] by _StoneWolf_
> I don’t think I know any single man of any age that wouldn’t choose to occasionally date women aged 18-25 if that was actually a real possibility
As a middle age guy who sure as hell would not want to date anyone that young all I can say is yikes.
Tho, you did say "single" men, and I'm not single, so maybe there's a selection bias in that the kind of men who want to pursue much younger women, are more likely to remain single themselves for extended periods of time?
