Another “oh the 60s were DUMB” movie I saw was Modesty Blaise. Arrg, it’s that Gorillaz song. Also: taking sides: Terence Stamp’s cockney accent versus Micheal Caine’s (insert celebrity roommate anecdote here). I really couldn’t understand what was going on in this film. I think I was just reminded of 60s euro flicks that end up on Mystery Science Theatre 3000. (The epsiode I watched this weekend had it’s moments, and ack, dubbed Italian films!) And what was with the singing between the two leads in this film, it was atrocious!
I also saw the last half of the Martha tv movie. Ha ha! entertaining, but I can’t exactly picture this as being Martha it’s too obviously Cybill S and some bad wigs. And the I watched a History of Pornography documentary series on Trio. I think I saw some of it when it was on channel 4. But it surely loses impact what with Trio’s weird censorship practices. There’s the obvious pixilationbut bleeping out “blow job” and “penis” ??? And yet “fellatio” stays ?!?!I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS LOGIC. But heh, at the end one of the experts (could it have been Linda Williams?)says ‘If a woman wants to get aroused by watching porn, she should watch gay porn.” HA HA SO THERE, NIGELLA!
Another thing, don’t stay up until 4 am reading creepy mystery novel, ‘cause you have FREAKY SVU dreams, in which you’re a detective with Benson and stabler, and they are rilly rilly stupid, and there’s even stuntcasting with Kylie as our housekeeper! (Yesm we all lived in the same house). Following SC rules Kylie is bad as she’s connected with the serial murderer/kidnapper so we all get kidnapped, but I do something clever with my cellphone and send text messages to EVERYONE so they can all call for back up and then I end up stabbing the bad guy. He had a big belly and th eknife just slides in, and I end up stabbing him between the legs often (OH SHUT UP, FREUDIANS)
