I certainly wouldn't expect any review, or interview, or critical essay to cover all or most parts of the text it is discussing. The reason most people are drawn to blogs, I think, is to get that blogger's individual perspectives.<br /><br />And jumping in with petty name-calling and snap judgments aren't part of friendly, intelligent online discourse.<br /><br />Have a great day, all!Kathrynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-47692534671880600012010-12-07T08:03:42.839-08:002010-12-07T08:03:42.839-08:00Oh and another emotionally childish thing is point...Oh and another emotionally childish thing is pointing out typos particularly since you understand the context of my comments.

Everyone ...Isn't it time that you ALL grow up? Everyone is so keen to attack my blog instead of doing the ADULT thing by addressing the "Morally nihilistic" aspects of Black Swan. That is what my original comment was about, well that and the fact that I had the audacity to question as to whether DS even saw the movie, because her review failed to give real comment about what actually happened in the movie.<br /><br />What's that you say? You don't know what "Moral nihilism" is? so that is why you opt for personal attacks instead. Spare me, I am over it.<br /><br />Like I previously wrote I don't need to drive visitors to my site, however that doesn't mean that when I visit this site that I am precluded from using my Url as an identifier when I leave a comment.<br /><br />I mean are you who criticize me serious? This isn't the L Word message boards so grow up. <br /><br />Oh and I am sure that you all will be at my site to view Black Swan just as soon as it becomes available online.<br /><br />Ciao BellasURBAN Sapphichttp://hypervision.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-18849723655837114572010-12-06T20:18:37.534-08:002010-12-06T20:18:37.534-08:00DS- bonus points for the "A Chorus Line"...DS- bonus points for the "A Chorus Line" reference:)<br /><br />US- if we all visited your site like you say, wouldn't we already know that you "don't do recaps"?

Tht's the motto of the blog URBAN Sapphic.<br />You ALL know this because you AL:L visit my site as well as we both know it.<br /><br />That is also exactly why I don't have to drive visitors to my site because as you can see when YOU visit my site and viewed my real time visitors map, that I get my share of visitors.<br /><br />And Kathryn as far as naivite is concerned , well you go on and on about how you aren't naive and so forth so you can relate to my assertion that Dorothy Snarker neglected key philisophical questions that were raised in Black Swan? <br /><br />What's that? You Can't? Figures, so next time you all round the stage coaches to defend DS get it through your heads that I don't write recaps, or flowery reviews I actually SHOW you the movie as doon as I am able to so you can decide for yourselves!<br /><br />The sad part is the number of DS readers who regularly visit URBAN Sapphic but are too cowardly to follow me as well.URBAN Sapphichttp://hypervision.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-65243746462579075792010-12-06T14:04:33.666-08:002010-12-06T14:04:33.666-08:00URBAN Sapphic,

The film had a pretty methodical build-up of sexuality almost bursting destructively beneath Nina's surface. The masturbation scenes that were interrupted in terrifying fashion, her nearly coming unhinged at the hands of her predatory instructor... it's not as if there wasn't a progression to the scene in question. And as Nina teetered over the edge, I think the scene in question was both necessary and logical (in its own twisted way).spacedognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-37143675158588075332010-12-06T13:18:30.064-08:002010-12-06T13:18:30.064-08:00URBAN Sapphic you have your own blog, write your o...URBAN Sapphic you have your own blog, write your own review there.<br /><br />But I'm guessing this is less about a movie review and more about you trying to drive traffic to your own less popular website.Why are you always so negativenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-829372356587740362010-12-06T12:54:57.164-08:002010-12-06T12:54:57.164-08:00I enjoyed this review and am keen to see the film....I enjoyed this review and am keen to see the film.

Black Swan isn't as phantasmagorically grandiose as much as it is a journey into the subconscious, a study of emotional shortcomings, unhinged reality, madness and death.<br /><br />You wrote that the movie is isn't great and may even be flawed but you fail to inform your readers where the flaws lay or where it lacks in its greatness. Have you ever read a blog and find yourself disgruntled that there are just too many flowery words that say a lot of "nothing"? <br /><br />Did you even see the movie? I am asking because in lieu of the youthfulness of your readers I would have thought that you would at least touched upon the morally nihilistic aspect that one can interpret from the ending that is derived from the necessity to <br />to literally "kill."URBAN Sapphichttp://hypervision.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-3261489885000463012010-12-06T10:07:22.219-08:002010-12-06T10:07:22.219-08:00This review is one of my favorite things you'v...This review is one of my favorite things you've ever written.
