    Their will be no Friends movie because everyone's too busy?

    Kudrow please. I saw David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc stealing day-old bagels out of the Dunkin Donuts dumpster yesterday. Just make the damn movie! It's a hand-UP, not a hand-OUT. #johnmayer

    YOU MISSED THE PART ABOUT THE GILMORE MOVIE

    From the article:
    "[...]is not giving up on the possibility of a Gilmore movie. "Anything can happen," she insists. "I’m in touch with [Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel]. If there’s a story to tell, then absolutely I think we’re all going to want to tell it. That’s the bottom line.

    "If I thought it was definitely not going to happen, I would say, ‘No, it’s definitely not going to happen,’" she adds. "I would do that for you, my friend. But I don’t want to say that. Because I think that the beauty of Gilmore, and the beauty of family relationship shows is, you never really run out of story. You’re going to battle your family until you’re all in the ground. Those things never resolve, doesn’t matter how much therapy you get. Ten years later, there’s still going to be [material] there to mine and to delve into."" #johnmayer

    Hi Chris,

    Please go away. I know that probably sounds harsh, but hear me out. I saw your new video on MTV the other day and you know what I thought? I thought, "well, that explains all his public apologies." Yes, it seems less that you are really contrite and more that you are trying to sell a new album.

    You know who else has a new album coming out? Rihanna. Yes, the ex-girlfriend who you brutally assaulted. You will be competing against her on the charts. Do you see how that could look badly?

    You say that you want to work on yourself, than work on yourself. I mean away from the cameras. Do your soul searching in private. Spend the time in therapy. Travel a bit. Learn to meditate. Devote yourself to a worthy cause. Just step away from the spotlight, please.

    If you are worried about your career, you shouldn't be. If there is one thing the public love more than a fallen celebrity, it is a reformed fallen celebrity.

    Of course, this all assumes that you are truly remorseful. If you really are giving out public apologies for the sake of your upcoming album, well, feel free to disregard this note.

    Sincerely,

    Sputnik Sweetheart #johnmayer

    The one concept that I haven't really seen addressed here is that in the book since we are seeing everything from the perspective of the psychopathic killer, it is hard to separate what he imagines the woman feels versus what he hopes she feels. Isn't he really an unreliable narrator? I haven't read the book in awhile. I'll have to drag it out again and reread that part.

    Also loved the film version of "The Grifters". Never saw "The Getaway" so I can't compare, but the The Grifters was a masterpiece. #violenceagainstwomen

    You know what is even grosser than the trailer itself? The fact that this trailer keeps showing up on certain sites devoted to nothing but the objectification of "hot" celebrity women's bodies in the context of "Oh, look at Jessica Alba's bare ass! Isn't she so hot?!" If that isn't the sexualization and glorification of violence against women, I don't know what is. I'm beginning to think that the reaction to the film may be even more telling than the film itself. #violenceagainstwomen

    It seems to me that it will be "good" in an Irreversible sort of way. (ie, extremely disturbing but unlike any other film experience to date).
    That's giving it a lot of credit though. #violenceagainstwomen

    @geeurock: It is so difficult to describe that film because I can't say it was "good" and I can't recommend it and I can't say it is my FAVORITE film, but it affected me more than any other film I have ever witnessed. The club scene, the disorientation, the way it was shot, everything. There is nothing else like it. Period. Thus my problem. I usually describe it as awesome (the true definition of the word) Terrible and beautiful all rolled into one. #violenceagainstwomen

    @Penny: It was groundbreaking; the first written entirely first-person from the psychopath's POV. Don't worry, you won't be feeling any pity for him, just disgust. He's a horrible horrible monster. It's fascinating and gripping all the same. But also somewhat depressing, so wait until you're in the right mood before you tackle it. Jim Thompson is a great writer - he also wrote The Grifters, which they made into a good film, and many other books which have been made into crap films.

    @Diziet_Sma: In a similar vein, Dorothy B Hughes' 1947 novel In a Lonely Place was an even earlier psychopath novel (male) from his POV but not first person. Very good novel.

    This looks truly awful - but a snuff film is one in which someone actually (not fictionally) gets killed on camera. And I hope no more of them ever get made. #violenceagainstwomen

    @clevernamehere: Yep, it made me feel gross. Especially in the days before CSI - you KNOW men were allowed to get away with so much more violence towards women.

    This brings me to a question for advice from fellow Jezzies... I do not like my sister's current bf. We are very close, and there is just something about him - can't quite put my finger on it & it's really starting to stress me out. He's a "nice guy" but boring, and I think quite stupid in both mind & political views - bad enough.
    THEN my husband shows me what he happen to find on this guy's facebook page (here comes the tie in to this topic) and I'm freaking. He just so happened to put this up around the time they started dating, with no caption or explination.
    I'm losing my shit right now. How does a grown man (?) 28 years old think violence against women is funny/entertaining/not a big deal?
    I'm trying to figure out how to approach this topic with her... ANY advice would be helpful. #violenceagainstwomen

    @mikaelamac: Just as some background info, that graphic is an appropriated and altered (STFU added) form of one made famous some years ago. Here is some history on that. It's likely that this guy is trying to be edgy and "hip," without even knowing the context of the source.

    As a sign of his immaturity and insensitivity alone, you're wise to be concerned, but unless he has a other graphics/statements that echo this sentiment, it may not be a significant predictor of violence. #violenceagainstwomen
