 | ― How come suddenly you’re an expert on women?
― I’ve got seven wives. How many you’ve got?
― So why aren’t you at home with your seven wives?
― I know how to marry them. Nobody knows how to live with them.
― So why did you marry them for?
― Shee-shee… someday I have to tell you the facts of life. |

 | I have watched and read your reviews for years with great honor. I disagree so strongly with your review of “Eat Pray Love” that it makes me sick. You just don’t get it, and many others like you don’t get it. You do not know at all what it is like being a woman in this day and age (or previously) who did not want to be defined by a man or married off to one. If you think Stephen in the movie was an OK husband, you are out to lunch. He was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (except on paper to people who do not need emotional sustenance). David was the narcissist from hell that many of us have fallen for… do you not get that??????????? Many of the males of the species are frankly overrated and the women’s movement has proven this (or frankly not sufficiently). I hope your wife will bring you up to speed.

✖ Via Roger Ebert.com: “You do not get that???????” by Roger Ebert, August 18, 2010 The quote is from a woman complaining to Roger Ebert about his review of Eat, Pray, Love. Somehow, I found interesting the fact that she’s a “Licensed Clinical Psychologist”. |

 | Me: Ugh, what are you watching?
Lady: 30 Rock.
Me: I know, but…do you notice anything weird about it?
Her: No.
Me: You see that big, black border around the whole thing, and how it looks and sounds all cruddy?
Her: No. I don’t.
Me: Really? You don’t see how the picture is all shrunk down in the screen and everything’s a little chunky and blurry?
Her: No. I don’t care.
Me: Okay, watch this. [Goes through the guide up to the 400s where the HD is.] Okay, are you watching?
Her: [Not watching. Playing with the dog and laughing because he did something cute.] Me: Okay, are you watching? [Swaps channels, engulfed in a glorious wave of fidelitous sound and image.]
Her:…
Me: You see that?
Her: No. I don’t care.
Me: …
Her: …
Me: I love you.
Her: [Laughs at the stupid dog.] |
✖ Via lonelysandwich: “A glorious wave of fidelitous sound and image”, August 6th, 2010 Same thing goes with aspect ratio. I know people (whom I love and respect) who are able to watch a whole film in the wrong aspect ratio (they’ll watch 16/9 in 4/3). You’ll tell them: “Those cowboy sure are thin and tall…” and they’ll go “Huh?”
