Finding out boys you'e slept with are "Secretly Gay": classic or dud?
BBC America is showing The League of Gentleman again! Which is good except for the fact BBCA's censoring policies are as bad as Trio's.
I learned to purl.
Oh I forgot to mention that SBS stars Judas, aka Giles' brother. (You can't really see the resemblance in the movie, but doesn't his singing on "JC Superstar" sound like Giles' singing when they had the group dream??)
I tried watching Steal This Movie! but it wasn't that great. Ha ha look at all the indie actors playing dress up! Also Vincent D's Abbie H's accent was waaaaay too distracting. Plus, is he the right physical build to portray Hoffman? I thought AH was a bit more, uh, slight. But HA HA Tom Hayden and Jane Fonda's son played TH in the movie, hee hee.
I watched Sunday, Bloody Sunday Unlike certain channels that have Uncensored theme months (cough, *Trio*, cough), PBS shows nipples! Also note that these Brits had a slab of butter IN THE FRIDGE. I spotted a young Dot Cotton, hee, and a young Daniel Day-Lewis, but only because I knew that he was in it. I want to look like one of the guests at the bar mitzvah recepetion.
Wheee! I was going to write a big list of everything i love, but instead, I shall mention this:
There's a Nissan commercial that uses "Heroin." I am sure you all know about this by know, but I saw it while cooking dinner the other night, and just laughed and laughed. Obviously there was the sheer absurdity of it, but, after having read a zillion posts crying about all the tunes of punk/indie/whatever genre used in commercials, there's also the knowledge that this was so going to end up discusssed (or, heh "discussed") on the interweb. Even if I were the type to get bothered by this sort of thing, it's just so... BIZARRE. I think those ad menz and wimmenz just picked it beacuse they knew it would piss off basically everyone ever.
And please send me money so I can check out the local only-open-six-hours-a-week record shop.
I cleaned my fridge today! I took out the crisper drawers and a shelf and WASHED THEM, which I suppose i should have done when I moved in, or rather maybe MY LANDLORDS should have done before I moved in, eww. And I tidied up the bedroom a bit, which i did just wearing a pair of knickers, get me, I'm saucy. It still needs so much work, and I wish my landlords and thier carpentry friends would come and finish plastering the hole in my wall, so I can put all my music back in place, and then organize that. People might come for the 4th!
AAAAAAAND I have to have a party. It could be a daiquiri party, or the Barbra Streisand party a friend and I were plotting. We really need to go and buy all the BS records we can find in thrifts. And there's gonna be dressing up! I am soooo going as Yentl. Wouldn't I make a cute yeshiva boy? But if I flash everyone, I can't wear a bra, and I want to wear the leopard print one. And, oh geez, full Hasidic gear in summer WHAT AM I THINKING??? I still wanna do it, though.
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)
