anyone--strike that, reverse it--anyone not a women who doesnt get how effing genius was the original les liaisons dangereuses, then was the dangerous liaisons and then, even,was the cruel intentions remake, is an idiot. let me be clear--i dont mean the low-level pseudo-moral redemption required at the end. i mean when they say the proper-ass shit, that we know and that we do. i always liked glen close in this moment: Marquise de Merteuil: When I came out into society I was 15. I already knew that the role I was condemned to, namely to keep quiet and do what I was told, gave me the perfect opportunity to listen and observe. Not to what people told me, which naturally was of no interest, but to whatever it was they were trying to hide. I practiced detachment. I learned how to look cheerful while under the table I stuck a fork into the back of my hand. I became a virtuoso of deceit. It wasnt pleasure I was afer, it was knowledge. I consulted the strictest moralists to learn how to appear, philosophers to find out what to think, and novelists to see what I could get away with, and in the end, I distilled everything to one wonderfully simple principle: win or die.
