No! You can't have a membership already! Nobody likes a greedy girl. Do they?

Then the result would have been something like Sucker Punch. Pretty, shallow and forgettable. Neon Demon isn't just a story about the "dog eat dog" nature of the fashion industry... it's a microcosm of human ambition itself. The actual Neon Demon in the story is the point when your ambition eclipses your morals/conscience.

Yeah, I read that it got both booed and applauded at Cannes. I understand why, if you go in and view it through the filter of mainstream life and morality, not to mention some people were probably expecting a narratively straightforward horror flick with pretty people. I felt like it was almost like looking at an abstract painting or an art exhibit rather than watching a movie. The musical score really elevated it. As you said, very sensory overload. I loved that it was risky and that Refn just went for it, balls out, no apologies - even in that scene.
I ended up watching it a second time to appreciate the subtleties. Unfortunately a director almost has to first create something mainstream brilliant in order to feel like they have the creative license to produce something like this. At least Refn had the reputation to push this forward. I'd love more films like this as well. And yes - more Abbey Lee!

Well there's a room for gay and bi guys to flirt, there's a girl's room for chatting - doesn't mention orientation or flirting and doing stuff - I just thought there should be a guy's room for talking without the need to flirt or do stuff.

I keep wondering why the fuck there is no straight mens chat room.....

So. Suppose I have a story up already, and just want to add "(part one)" to the end of the title (i.e. "Open Door" to "Open Door (part one)"). Can that be done without the URL of the story changing? I know when I was messing with the Shards at the beginning the URL would change when I changed the titles, but as this is linked out in a few places I'd like the URL to stay the same. Can that be done?
Am I annoying yet?
