in Hillary Sexism Watch, Part Ninety: Hide the Bunnies! on Shakesville
The conclusion of the post is a gem too:
"And allow me to just head something off right now that's already come up on Twitter: I'm not sexist. This isn't sexist. That's a stupid straw man, and if you try to make that claim, I will point and laugh at you."

Wil, honey, you're sexist. Point and laugh as much as you want, it does not change the fact. And BTW, you don't get to define what sexism is.

Anna He said that last time he got called on saying women with certain types of tattoos were obviously sexually available. Tramp Stamps and calling them sluts and whores - but that's not sexist! He would have totally called men the same thing! Of course, he didn't, but hey!
zuzu Yeah, the guy at My Left Wing who called Hillary "the Joan of Arc of the dry-pussy demographic" was really pissed off that a co-blogger called him misogynist, too.

in Deborah Kerr on newcritics
Well that's a bit short for such a long and brilliant careers. Her early Hollywood films were not her best. It's by the 1950s and 1960s that her talent as actress (more than movie star) became obvious though movies like The Innocents or Night of the Iguana.

Come on, can't you do her greater justice?

in The Bitter Taste of Vichy on newcritics
Interestingly, several movies made during the Occupation had subtexts to subtle to raise the censors' attention. Of course, Marcel Carne was the champion of that genre: les enfants du paradis et les visiteurs du soir are classical examples.

IN the 1970s, you probably have seen Joseph Losey's Monsieur Klein.
