    Everytime I see Matthew McFayden in other movies, I wonder what happened to the hot dude who played Mr. Darcy. He's never going to live up to this film.

    Also, yet another part not worthy of Rosamund Pike. At least the film is good.

  • The Girl with the Needle

    The Girl with the Needle

    Relentlessly grim examination of monstrosity framed with reproductive rights and a true-crime story. A hard watch, but rewarding.

    I'm more convinced than ever that "the new flesh" is transsexual in nature.

    I love Margie Gunderson. The shot where she's eating a Hardees burger under a beer billboard is one of my favorite shots in movies. I have a snowglobe somewhere amongst all of my junk that has the woodchipper scene in it. The flakes floating in the globe are all red.
