"In my dreams I kiss your cunt, your sweet wet cunt."
This is why you should go to see the movie Atonement. Not only should this be on the movie poster but everyone who talks about it should mention that you get to see the word "Cunt" in gigantic letters projected on a gigantic movie screen, taking up the entire screen, more than once. Then a bunch of romantic stuff happens and war and some crazy times at Dunkirk, and on and on but really you should go see it just to see Cunt Cunt Cunt written over and over again. This happens in the first part of the movie too so if you don't want to watch the whole thing you can leave after about the first, probably 45 minutes or so. But it is a good movie. I felt it sort of petered out toward the end but if they had spent more time on the ending they might not have been able to show the word Cunt over and over again in huge letters.
I am a bit worried that this film will mark a huge shift when it will from this day hence become less taboo to say Cunt Cunt Cunt over and over again. What will I write about? There is nothing else. The little girl in the movie even asks something like "What is the worst word you could ever think of" and she means Cunt. Cunt Cunt Cunt.
It does bring me joy to think of some puritanical people, perhaps a mother and daughter out for some bonding time, going to see this big sweeping romantic movie, totally marketed as this sort of high brow chick flick, and becoming appalled and abashed and mortified at the sight of big black letters on a big white screen spelling out Cunt over and over again.
Rock and Roll!
Also, James McAvoy is coming over later with a big bag of pot and guess what he's going to do? I'll give you a hint. It similar to what I quoted earlier a about his dreams.

The C word, gigantic and projected on a movie screen. At last.

Not to be a cliche, but the book is so so good. The movie is good, but the book is amazing. But maybe not as good since you are already going to know the little twists and turns. I had no idea what it was about when I read it and that only contributed to its awesome-ity.
Also, it only says "cunt cunt cunt" in 10 pt. type, so you know, not as good as the movie there.
Does it piss you off when they market it as the most "romantic movie since Titanic?" I suppose that's the cruelest joke ever on the little woman and her daughter who go to the movie thinking it is just like that and see all the child rape and brain matter and cunts.
It didn't bother me in the least! I love it. I hope hundreds and thousands of very prudish people get CUNT up in their faces. That is my hope for the new year.
Also, I thought a lot about how I should read the book first but either way you are disappointed.
Personally, I've never liked that particular word very much. My preference in four-letter words doesn't go much beyond "poop" and the nearly infinite variations and conjugations of "fuck." In case you were wondering.
The new question girl has an annoying voice and laughs too much.
Maybe I'm being to harsh on the newbie, but why do California women, even smart educated ones, upspeak? They raise the pitch of their voice on the last syllable of every statement, making them sound like questions.
Personally, I liked mirandapants better.
marypants was good too. I was making fun of this QG's guffaw at work today and my coworkers thought it was really funny.
