In keeping with our Tom Ford theme, let’s discuss A Single Man, his gorgeous directorial and screenwriting debut. Now much of this movie looks like a luxury cologne ad, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Julianne Moore, as usual, sublimely delivers a layered performance as Charley. Watch for the dance scene between her and the protagonist George, played by Colin Firth. 
Impeccable fashion, hair, and make-up are a given with Mr. Ford at the helm, but his filmmaking doesn’t rely on style over substance. Firth’s nuanced performance captures the deep grief and profound sense of loss that comes from unexpected death. 
While Ford’s use of color saturation for dramatic and emotional emphasis created visual interest, his use of heavy-handed sound effects is distracting. Overall, a well-acted, well-written, and well-directed film. Smooches Tom Ford.
The Emperor, paired with The Empress, stands for virility, discipline, power and order. The fourth trump of the Major Arcana, He represents our desire to control everything around us. Like The Empress moonlights as Mother, The Emperor manifests as your Father and all the stability he provides. On the flipside The Emperor brings, stagnation, egocentrism, and inflexibility. When confronted with his negative aspects, consider where you can release your grip on the illusion of control. Letting go of the fear of change allows for fresh growth.
We met up with our favorite reality Sapphics contemplating the definition of lesbian sex. This age-old riddle of the Sphinx continues to stymie both the gay and straight world. Surprisingly conventional, some of the ladies seem very wedded to the idea that penetration defines sex. 
Mikey attempted a grand romantic gesture by planning a surprise commitment ceremony for Raquel in Vegas. Fortuitously for Raquel, she missed her flight, thereby foiling the nuptial plans. When Raquel finally arrived in Vegas the next day, she and Mikey played a game of strip pool before engaging in the least sexy bath time behavior ever. Raquel is hot, but Mikey reminds me of a blond, lesbian, Meatloaf. 
Tor’s naive ass acted confused upon hearing that Whitney has been hooking up with other girls. Whitney tried to keep Tor’s infatuation going by making her believe she had an outside chance. Unlike Romi, Tor said she wasn’t going to let Whitney douche her around. Let’s hope she legitimately has the grit to withstand Whitney’s catnip.
Melinda trained Whitney for the first time, and Whitney seized the opportunity to invite her out for that night. When Whitney arrived at the bar, she was stoked to see Miranda waiting out front. Delighted at discovering Miranda is at least marginally attracted to women, Whitney brought her panty-dropping flirt. The sight of Whitney wooing another sent Romi into a jealous shame spiral, and she could not control the compulsion to make a scene for the cameras. Having satisfied her appetite for Romi’s noni, Whitney told Romi’s over-dramatic ass to fuck off.
Nikki and Jill lost their shit when they received quotes for the wedding dresses ($6,175 a piece) and wedding planner. Working themselves into a veritable frenzy, the two tried to negotiate the price down. Immediately after, they second-guessed themselves and called the wedding planner back and agreed pay her full quote ($7,650). Don’t get so fucking emotional when negotiating. It’s just a number; it is not an indictment of your character. Folks just don’t understand the art of the counter-offer.
We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. 
Summertime brings on an itch for the amusement park, rather than actually interact with children, visit Adventureland. No movie better encapsulates the airbrushed corn dog nostalgia of the local crappy fun park of your childhood.
Obviously, I’m obsessed with Martin Starr, so as a selling point let’s start with him. He somehow manages to slip a Gogol reference into every role he plays. Where Martin Starr goes, I follow. Unlike those God-awful Twilight movies, Stewart doesn’t make me want to gouge my eyes out in her performance as Em. 
In addition to the stellar cast, this movie has an excellent soundtrack including The Cure, Crowded House, and The Velvet Underground.
