dolls give me the creeps

Dolls give me the creeps, always have. 
As a child i had a special hatred for Barbie.
 Barbie would get pummelled against my basement walls, 
although there was a nagging discomfort and guilt I associated with my violent actions,
try as i might i could never pull her head off completely. 

In more recent years I developed a special appreciation for dolls when I saw Todd Haynes' "Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story"

I appreciate any film that relates to humans and their various conditions 
without employing actual humans. 
When I finish this video, I will dedicate it to Mr. Haynes.
