I liked Girl 6, but I think I liked it in part because it was creepy and unsettling? Haven't seen it since it was in the theater, though.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just couldn't help feeling I was supposed to buy into the wall to wall eroticisation of the profession, as opposed to it just being Girl 6's issue. Unless we were seeing her sexed up co-workers through her eyes, it was just too much.
Next you'll be telling me that strippers all want to bone the customers.

Man, I don't even remember enough to be intelligently discussing it, but that wasn't my takeaway. I can remember having heated discussions about it at the time but can't reconstruct my position or arguments, so, really, I should just shut up.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
He won't be the first person to kill Batman.
The other day in the comic book store I came across a collection of various times Batman has died. I knew Grant Morrison had just killed him, but I didn't realize how many other writers had!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I knew Grant Morrison had just killed him
Darkseid actually hit him with the Omega Sanction and sent him into the past, which didn't actually kill him. t /pedant

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
kinda enjoyed that one, ita, but it was strange. "Clockers" is good. Of course, the novel it's based on is too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Teppy is a Bat-pedant.

Has anyone seen Drive, with Ryan Gosling? I'm debating movies to watch, and I lurves the Gosling, and it's got Carey Mulligan (Sally Sparrow!) and Christina Hendricks.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes, we saw in back in October. What is your other movie choice?
I enjoyed Drive more than my better half did. He was kind of bored. I just went with it and I felt like the movie flowed.
I do kind of think the movie was trying too hard, but I think it is entertaining.
Note: there is a fair bit of violence in the film - especially the latter third or so. And the violence (in one scene) made me gasp out loud. You may not have needed that warning, but I like to err on the side of warning for graphic violence.

I'm tired and not stating myself clearly. Right now my choice is one movie, and I'm debating on whether to watch it or not. Wish I had a second choice right now. I watched Puncture over the weekend because it had a shirtless Chris Evans in it. I'm grateful for the edification on the bullshit of Big Business (yet again) and Chris was great (and tragic, and not timely for dealing with my own brothers drug problems), but not terribly well directed or edited. But the trailer had made it seem like John Grishamly goodness (underdog lawyers! Evil corporations! Suspense and threats of violence! And then sucky reality intervened in all it's jaded bitter glory). I'm glad I watched it, but it wasn't a Good Movie.
Yeah, I got from the trailer and Ryan's Hammer of Brain Spattering that there might be some harh violence. I'm okay with that in theory.
