It's just beyond creepy, and I think it spoke to the time it was made--punkish etc. I saw Lynch on CK. He was amazingly great, I thought. What a strange man. He's now a guru (well, spokesman) for transcendental meditation.Calibans Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817489284771105048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-90262658142633826122013-02-24T09:35:30.586-08:002013-02-24T09:35:30.586-08:00I wish I'd seen this post sooner. Just last we...I wish I'd seen this post sooner. Just last weekend I was looking at the dizzying array of options on our new Apple TV device and thought, "I wonder what Hulu is?" Coincidences abound...<br /><br />Eraserhead? I didn't get it. Anyone care to share?? I saw David Lynch on the Louis CK show (how weird is that) recently and thought that maybe I should try it again. Can't decide if it's worth it or not. <br /><br />I loved the bit about subtitles for narcs. Yes, if life worked like that, it would be a lot easier, wouldn't it? Just watch their lips move, read the subtitles and...Bob's your uncle! <br />Kittyhttp://bravenewkitty.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-28663063201769735982013-02-22T12:28:22.121-08:002013-02-22T12:28:22.121-08:00Excellent use of the phrase! xxExcellent use of the phrase! xxCalibans Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817489284771105048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-28880387248382516182013-02-21T04:24:29.682-08:002013-02-21T04:24:29.682-08:00hahaha great use of the phrase ;) xxoohahaha great use of the phrase ;) xxooKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14470007362954479373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-79673557200657167292013-02-20T14:43:54.254-08:002013-02-20T14:43:54.254-08:00Nice to hear from you, too, Kara!

He used that phrase. I loved the way it rolled off his Aussie tongue. He was talking about prepping for a role. Said he just pretended to be the character for a week, and then, you know, "Bob's your uncle."<br />I use it alot. Also love the "Huh?" look. But more people have heard that then you'd think...try it out. xxCalibans Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817489284771105048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-8141179868476865462013-02-18T18:23:15.113-08:002013-02-18T18:23:15.113-08:00O yea?

To be honest 'cuz you know that's one of my good and terrible traits, I had to google "Bob's your uncle" and now I can't wait to use it on my nephew. hehehe...call me sadistic but that "huh?" look in his eyes keeps me chuckling the day through. We do have our jolly times in my house. ;-)CZBZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575206236892096611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-54445996834883799502013-02-18T18:10:19.007-08:002013-02-18T18:10:19.007-08:00How about taking one paragraph from each of, say, ...How about taking one paragraph from each of, say, thirty of your posts about NPD.

Your mother could use subtitles and I'd like to be the one typing them when she's talking.<br /><br />I can highly recommend coursera.org to anyone who's interested in a MOOC (multi-open-online-course). The film studies class is fantastic. The professor is so "INTO" his specialty that he makes silent films a joy to watch. He recently lectured on "Applause", an incredible movie from 1929 and I wish it were available on YouTube. <br /><br />The Film studies class is taught by Dr. Scott Higgins of Wesleyan University and he doesn't require any papers or homework (other than watching movies). My class on the Social Context of Mental Illness is quite rigorous, taught by Dr. Williams at the University of Toronto. <br /><br />I've wanted to post about Coursera but haven't had time to do justice to the fantastic opportunity it is for the autodidact. (ha, another GREAT word "grace a' toi"). <br /><br />And yes, the mental disorder I'm writing about is...NPD. Duh. I shoulda picked an illness I know very little about and that would have been easier than writing a short paper on narcissism. I've mostly just stared at my computer wondering where to start. <br /><br />Love....thanks for posting, CS! I'm so happy to hear from you!<br />CZ<br />CZBZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575206236892096611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6801485432556979796.post-23089555894039802102013-02-18T13:10:23.918-08:002013-02-18T13:10:23.918-08:00Ah, Eraserhead.

Subtitles would work great for my NM, so much of what she says is passive aggressive code. It sounds like your course has you watching some great movies. You writing a paper on mental illness? You've got thousands of pages of blogposts you could use! love and big hugs, CSCalibans Sisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04817489284771105048noreply@blogger.com
