    Gomez lives off generational wealth and thus spends his time culturing himself with dance, art, and seductive languages.

    I work until it’s not safe to drive home because I’m so tired and my eyes don’t work. I crawl home on surface streets, collapse into bed for a brief nap, and get up to go do it again because the man needs his dollar.

    My spirit may be willing, but my flesh is spongy and bruised.

      How much time to put a little product in your hair?

      How hard is it to listen to a language lesson instead of that song you’ve heard a million times?

      Get some nice collared shirts instead of fanboy T-shirts?

      Watch one how to dance video?

        Product - use daily

        Language - speak English, Spanish, and Korean, though the latter two are admittedly falling off from lack of use. Lived overseas for four years in my twenties

        Collared shirts - wear daily, but I’d guess that’s not goth chick bait

        Dancing - was religiously prohibited from such growing up and never took an interest in it

        Personal skill - I can cook like a motherfucker. Like really good stuff. If I believed in love languages, mine would be feeding others. The women in my office make weekly requests for me to cook whatever they’re craving over the weekend and bring it in on Monday.

        But I’m talking about energy. Gomez spends his entire existence striving toward being Morticia’s everything. I don’t have enough gas in the tank after seventy or eighty hours of getting yelled at for my income.

        Next up, since everything is so easy, I guess I just simply waltz into another job, right?

    I’m not goth, but my husband treats me like Gomez treats Morticia. Can confirm that a lot of sex happens. So, like, do it.

      Their competition wasn’t that fierce, Luis Guzman is a great actor, especially when being comical, but he very much is NOT Gomez Addams. But no matter who it was, I doubt they’d be able to beat Raul Julia or Anjelica Huston.

        It also doesn’t hurt that Anjelica is always illuminated like she’s from another movie altogether (credit to CinemaTherapy). The director turned the glamor factor up to 11 in every scene without breaking anything. It’s impossible to follow that.

        Raul, somehow, manages to be a complete ham yet relatable, lovable, and most importantly, believable.

        The legendary John Astin and Carolyn Jones might like a word!

        That show was just weird as hell to watch growing up, along with The Munsters and to a lesser extent Bewitched.

        To be fair, their movie portrayals were amazing too.

      The key to Gomez energy is his sincerity. You might not be able to draw a Morticia (because she’s probably already got a Gomez) but a Fester with sincerity who aims with his heart rather than his eyes/dick has a good chance of finding true love.

        I believe Fester married a beautiful young girl. But she was a not very smart: she try to kill him to get his money rather than spend his money while living with a nice, rich, funny guy who do some really nice trick with light bulbs.

      Money solves that part. In rare cases charisma pulls you out, but that’s much harder to achieve.

      The writing was so exemplary. And it’s one of those deals where the sequel is actually better than the first eg Gremlins, Shrek, Bad Boys

    I mean do girls actually like that thin moustache? And I feel like if I walked around in one of those velvet jacket things everyone would just be creeped out and/or think I’m wearing it inside out. And I’d be hot, like sweaty kind of hot.

      I can’t speak to the pencil moustache, but that’s a smoking jacket. It’s meant to be worn indoors while smoking to keep the worst of the smell off of your clothes.

      A smoking jacket is allowed to be more loud and flamboyant because it’s only supposed to be worn in the house, so only your family and guests would see it. It’s not exactly the thing one would wear out and about.

        Yup.

        That’s okay. They’ll remember me when they wake up next to someone who hates them and they have two or three screaming children that won’t let them sleep.
