James Dean - a convulsing, simpering, overacting noodle, who looked like an Adonis. If he weren't so handsome, he wouldn't be a blip on the screen. - @Thursday, September 27, 2018 6:04 PM

way shorter than Mavrik's essay ...................... and yet managed to accomplish so much more... a little polished voicework , less scene by scene commentary , actually trying to dig and dagger into the film's theme without drawing parallels to modern drama godammit godammit godfucking bloody dammit , 9 months of non-stop work , more like 9 months of super-hero and animated movies that's more like it - @Monday, January 1, 2018 9:16 PM
