Who was that one catfish on Icine that maintained about 3-4 different personalities and it was absolutely bizzare?
Torque. He was nice to me when I first joined RT.

Late Spring (Ozu, 1949) Margaret (Lonergan, 2011) Birth (Glazer, 2004) Sabotage (Hitchcock, 1936) Vivre sa vie (Godard, 1962)
I can't think of a bad movie with one of these but there has to be, right
Oh my God, Bergman's in Gaslight is amazing, too. This is now my life's work
