I hope you don't feel indifferent to the existence of others. I think, though, after going through something so agonizing, and I am sorry about that, you've realized that hearts heal, and (I hope) that losing someone in the physical love sense doesn't mean you lose them altogether. But what do I know? I'm seemingly incapable of having real emotions. I don’t think you’ll ever feel indifferent to Adam’s existence. I hope you don’t feel indifferent to the existence of others.

I'm calling bullshit on your clarification.

I went through that when I was dating James (better known to others as the academic who wished he was a tortured artist and was incredibly depressed and emo) and I built up this whole deal about moving with him and then it turned out he was a douchebag anyway. So you never know. Although, for your sake, I hope he does not turn out to be an insane douchebag.

Forclose "Important Love." Is this a harlequin? He can move. He can come visit you. You have time to make the decision. Why, if you find a place you love, love, love, in a city that he loves, why would you move? Oh my god, you are so freaking melodramatic. Forclose “Important Love.” Is this a harlequin? He can move.

Mary's argument was that there were enough similarities that for one to be universally aclaimed and the other universally disgarded seems to have some class issues built into it. It's worked in tandem with some other things about how the new hipster thing is to be a wicked cool mother, but only if you're white and have a certain amount of money. When Mary sends me the article, I'll pass it along to you. Having not seen the movie, nor read her article, I can't defend the premise so much as not. However, you are correct. Diablo would NEVER give up that cheetah skull crusher outfit. I don’t think Mary’s argument was that it’s an exact remake.
