Hot momma-on-son action--with tongue! (30 July 2009)

As an anthropologist, I feel compelled to correct Tennis on the part about the incest taboo. Every culture has an incest taboo, but how incest is defined varies from culture to culture.

Ok, now on to this poor wife: she's poor because she doesn't have much affection coming her way in her life, and if she did, she wouldn't know how to handle it.

Just about every person has lips, and the way her husband uses them to kiss his mother probably isn't the same way he uses them toward her. She should know that and embrace it. It kinda reminds me of the time when parents explain to a child that many different kinds of love exist (i.e. love from parent to child isn't the same as romantic love between parents). Well, lady, different kinds of kisses exist, too!

And as many previous letter writers have written, she should seek some professional advice about her jealousy issues or about being ‘weirded out’ by her husband's behavior before ever bringing it up to him. (daugherofeli, response to post, Cary Tennis, “My husband kisses his mom on the lips,” Salon, 29 July 2009).

re: "Every culture has an incest taboo, but how incest is defined varies from culture to culture" (daughterofeli)

How incest is defined does vary from culture to culture. How true. Letter Writer, If you should happen upon other truths you find shocking owing to your evident naivety concerning cultural variety and meaning assessment, like if in fact it turns out your husband comes from a culture where every once in awhile moms put lips to penis, not just to mouth (different kinds of kisses! yay! blessed-be the glory and the wonderfulness!), please, too, go see a therapist and get yourself straightened out.

Please don't be thinking being an anthropologist means becoming a child-abuse apologist. It's true; but it's not their primary concern: They exist to catch sane people like you up.

Discussion over the fate of Jolenta, at the Gene Wolfe facebook appreciation site

Patrick McEvoy-Halston November 28 at 10:36 AM Why does Severian make almost no effort to develop sustained empathy for Jolenta -- no interest in her roots, what made her who she was -- even as she features so much in the first part of the narrative? Her fate at the end is one sustained gross happenstance after another... Severian has repeated sex with her while she lay half drugged, an act he argues later he imagines she wanted -- even as he admits it could appear to some, bald "rape" -- but which certainly followed his  discussion of her as someone whom he could hate so much it invited his desire to destroy her; Severian abandons her to Dr. Talus, who had threatened to kill her if she insisted on clinging to him; Baldanders robs her of her money; she's sucked at by blood bats, and, finally, left at death revealed discombobulated of all beauty... a hunk of junk, like that the Saltus citizens keep heaped away from their village for it ruining their preferred sense ...

Salon discussion of "Almost Famous" gang-rape scene

Patrick McEvoy-Halston: The "Almost Famous'" gang-rape scene? Isn't this the film that features the deflowering of a virgin -- out of boredom -- by a pack of predator-vixons, who otherwise thought so little of him they were quite willing to pee in his near vicinity? Maybe we'll come to conclude that "[t]he scene only works because people were stupid about [boy by girl] [. . .] rape at the time" (Amy Benfer). Sawmonkey: Lucky boy Pull that stick a few more inches out of your chute, Patrick. This was one of the best flicks of the decade. (sawmonkey, response to post, “Films of the decade: ‘Amost Famous’, R.J. Culter, Salon, 13 Dec. 2009) Patrick McEvoy-Halston: @sawmonkey It made an impression on me too. Great charm. Great friends. But it is one of the things you (or at least I) notice on the review, there is the SUGGESTION, with him being so (rightly) upset with the girls feeling so free to pee right before him, that sex with him is just further presump...

The Conjuring

The Conjuring 
I don't know if contemporary filmmakers are aware of it, but if they decide to set their films in the '70s, some of the affordments of that time are going to make them have to work harder to simply get a good scare from us. Who would you expect to have a more tenacious hold on that house, for example? The ghosts from Salem, or us from 2013, who've just been shown a New England home just a notch or two downscaled from being a Jeffersonian estate, that a single-income truck driver with some savings can afford? Seriously, though it's easy to credit that the father — Roger Perron—would get his family out of that house as fast as he could when trouble really stirs, we'd be more apt to still be wagering our losses—one dead dog, a wife accumulating bruises, some good scares to our kids—against what we might yet have full claim to. The losses will get their nursing—even the heavy traumas, maybe—if out of this we've still got a house—really,...
