I'm saying I'm totally gay for Ryan Gosling. I don't think I've wanted to see a movie this much since Tree of Life, but more so because the movie looks "frickin' rad" instead of "artfully insightful and complex".

Very effective in establishing and maintaining totalitarian control, but Christ, the divine liberator, is absent. On a lighter note, it is amusing how such uptight strictures (don't even want to explore the possible sexual connotations of the phrase "uptight strictures":) do promote obsession with all things sexual. I myself have never known, nor heard tell of any among my acquaintance who "struggled with the sin of bestiality." Must be a fundamentalist thing?
