Yes the OP had a pithy message but I've got a one-track mind rn:

I know there are people who don't think Brad Dourif is hot, but I've only talked to one and their resolve crumbled in the face of the Istanbul (1985) car scene

Brad Dourif (right) and Dominique Something (left) leaning forward over the backrest of a car, to talk to the driver. 35-year-old Dourif is stupidly gorgeous, with long wavy brown hair, huge damp blue eyes, and a massive tweed coat that's doing its best to swallow him.

Dourif cringes at his own bad joke, wincing with a hand to his face, then flailing as if to banish the bad line, looking over at his companion, and rolling his eyes away.

He does a little mlem and bangs on the window of the car: yes, he believes that it is a restored second-hand model.

Sucking his cheeks in and exchanging a wary look at his companion: where are they being taken?

There are lots more Pretty Moments in there, but Istanbul (1985) car scene is burned into my brain matter like the indelible brand of Cain

no one is immune.

(btw this movie is very upsetting please watch at your own risk)

There was this guy in the 1800s - I can't remember his name, but his name is recorded somewhere - who honestly argued that if given the choice between a beautiful woman and a heron, deep down in their most earnest true heart, every man would rather fuck the heron. And he got mad when people denied this, continuing to deny this what he had decided must be an universal truth, instead of praising him for being the only one who was brave enough to finally say it out loud. Like he really thought that every single person telling him "Jesse what the hell are you talking about" was not only denying him, but denying themselves their true desires and perpetuating the apparently massive cultural lie that herons aren't fuckable.

Anyway what I'm saying here is that every once in a while whenever you find yourself in a situation where nobody else is willing to agree with something that you consider the most obvious truth, take a moment to meditate on the possibility that perhaps they do mean what they say, and perhaps they are right. Maybe nobody else but you wants to fuck the heron.
