El Cometa is a dull and amateurish film, full of that nicey-nice well-mannered bullshit that turns me off instantly. And it doesn’t even make for good family viewing, as it’s full of language (”tits,” mostly) and preteen sex. This seems to be rated highly generally, I’m guessing thanks to the surprisingly large band of Diego Luna fetishists, which I find troubling. Of course of all the classes of people I fetishize, adolescent boys is one of few I just don’t go for.

 Lauren, 26, librarian, and like you, obsessed with film. Sadly, I spend more time redesigning TLC and dreaming up new projects and features than I do actually writing on it. This is a half-finished and labyrinthine personal database of a film journey and the fetishes I've acquired thereby, but I hope you will have some fun with it, too. My tendency is to immerse myself in long and obsessive projects to the exclusion of all else, but you'll typically find a lot of classic Hollywood, 60s/70s world cinema, and contemporary awards bait on these pages.
