'Shindig'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
1) Steph is right Stage Beauty is an awesome movie. I love the king essentially being a mistress to his mistress. I love the celebration of women's beauty even while we're being portrayed as a man's idea of a woman. Just awesome on so many levels.
2) Perkins and Kristin suck.
3) A seal kissed me once. It was prickly.
Daisy Jane, LOVE your tagline. I haven't listened to that CD in far too long.
I love the celebration of women's beauty even while we're being portrayed as a man's idea of a woman.
Ah, but see, what I found fascinating was that man's idea of womanly beauty wasn't really beauty at all, but artifice; in the end, real beauty -- and I think we see it in the Desdemona death scene -- is never pretty and soft and safe the way we think it is. *Real* beauty is terrifying to behold, and I think that scene showed it.
I think it's the same thing with whatever art challenges what we traditionally think of as beautiful. It's the difference between a romance (in the bad sense) novel and erotica. Dancing around something, having a pantomime of it, and actually seeing and feeling it.
Did you not think she was actually dead?
ETA: I tried to have the "Now a man might not appreciate the guidence of a good woman who truly loves him. He might slip into the dirty misdoings of his daily dirty existance..." but the whole thing wouldn't fit.
Did you not think she was actually dead?
No. I mean, I don't think that it was playacting, either -- but I just assumed that the movie wouldn't actually go so far as to kill her.
Also, since I'm the only one left posting? Why must Newport News tempt me with swim suits that might actually look good on me when I dont have the money to spend? [link] [link]
I did. I thought his jealousy over her actually being a woman would do him in. And that's what Othello is all about, jealousy without reason.
since I'm the only one left posting?
Are not.
Bebes. Must go to bed. However, yay Perkins and Kristin vacation, jealous as I am. Yay, Steph and one of my favorite movies, and I hope to talk about it more. Maybe tomorrow night?
I've had a bottle of wine and am out of smokes= bedtime.
Night, DJ!
Night!
