Sexual pessimism. Lana del Rey and the spiritual poverty of white people. Heterosexual misrecognitions: the gay marriage episode of Modern Family. Berlant, Edelman, etc. (but divorce is nothing new--Mad Men--white nostalgia again). I have this recurring dream where I'm retarded. I was listening to "Brooklyn Baby" thinking "I love Lana del Rey, but not in the potentially creepy way I love Joanna Newsom. I don't think I'd want to date Lana del Rey, for example." Then the gravely male vocals started overdubbing just like in "Only Skin."
Crazy non-patriarchs: Sherlock Holmes, Castle, the guy in Perception. How much of this can be attributed to Joss Whedon's disgust at the Mulder-Scully dynamic?
Burn After Reading.
