25/4/12 - Mulv's Top Ten Gifs About Loneliness



Mulv's Top Ten Gifs About Loneliness
In glorious Technicolour


10. Girl lying face down in a puddle
She's probably getting really damp, and rather cold,  but she's so sad she doesn't give a shit. Poor gal.

9. Gretchen bursts into tears
Poor love. She ain't happy. I don't know that she's got anything to cry about though. Her Dad invented Toaster Strudel for fuck's sake! She's totally rich.

8. ANGST: Potter Puppet Pals
Oh the pain of existential weariness.

7. Bette Davis has a breakdown in 'Now Voyager'
This is my favourite film of all time, I'll have you know. And Bette is not a happy lady, because her Mother's a total bitch. No worries though, Paul Henreid will come and hold you in his strong arms. OH, JERRY. DON'T LET'S ASK FOR THE MOON etc.

6. The 'then everything bothered me' cat
This isn't actually a gif, that's a filthy piece of false advertising. It's too good to leave out though. I love it.

5. David Tennant in the rain.
He does 'forlorn' beautifully.

4. Zooey crying in 'New Girl'
I would still do so many filthy things to her. But only if she was okay with that.

3. Max introduces Mr Ravioli in 'Mary and Max'
Watch that shit. It's great.

2. American Psycho - 'Feed me a stray cat'
I don't know what relation this has to loneliness, but if you think cash machines are talking to you, you're probably fairly lonely. Plus I love kittens. And this film.

1. Max's brain smiling in 'Mary and Max'
I know I've already mentioned this film, but that's because it's damn great. And Max is so wonderful.


So there. Loneliness, despair, desolation, doom and inevitability.


Yours,

Your American friend,

Max Jerry Horowitz
