Good Morning, World


As I said last night on Twitter I'm so happy I didn't have this scene in this week's episode of We Are Who We Are ruined for me before I finally got around to seeing it -- our boy Tom Mercier dancing in his underwear to a Radiohead song? And getting a little bi out while he does it? Luca is always looking out for me. That said I don't entirely enjoy taking this scene out of its ethically ambiguous context just for gawping purposes, since  it does involve the adult seduction of a fourteen-year-old, but I'm glad Luca Guadagnino had the gumption, after all the (incorrect) bullshit that got flung at Call Me By Your Name involving age and consent, to still bring up the subjects and deal with them in a meaningful manner. And if anybody actually wants to talk about all that let's do it in the comments! Right now I haven't had my coffee yet and it's a lot, so let's drink our coffee, stare at these gifs after the jump, and wake our asses up...

is there a male equivalent for "femme fatale"?

Don Juan, maybe. At least in Latin culture. What about handsome devil.
