In her precious world-view, blow job contests are fun and cute.<BR/><BR/>Of course, there are dangers: Her mind is a warped engine that reduces everything into sweet anecdotes. Wholesale acceptance of everything as a representation of beauty and innocence (including internet hustling, scatophilia etc) requires a distant position from reality. After all, Mussolini, orchestrating battle and bloodshed from afar, declared: "War is beautiful."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03063505572579481975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620696612921827120.post-45272578833081269632007-06-12T22:58:00.000-04:002007-06-12T22:58:00.000-04:00b/c i don't like to watch movies anymore; i think ...b/c i don't like to watch movies anymore; i think 1985 was about my cut-off, i thought for a long time that miranda july and carmen miranda were one and the same. i kinda dig drawing on fridges and stoves though...michael cambrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483254896953055495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620696612921827120.post-15463425536594953462007-06-12T18:53:00.000-04:002007-06-12T18:53:00.000-04:00vulnerability? grrrrrrrrrrrrr!post-maturity. hah...vulnerability? grrrrrrrrrrrrr!<BR/><BR/>post-maturity. hahahahaha!Asadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04076333261632062851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1620696612921827120.post-5533857352559075742007-06-12T14:33:00.000-04:002007-06-12T14:33:00.000-04:00i love both HT and MD, and i for one loved M&Y&EWK...i love both HT and MD, and i for one loved M&Y&EWK, not really so much for the "central" characters and their "relationship" but because i felt that the film did not put quotation marks around everything else in the film -- in the way that just about any other film would have, had just about any other film chosen to showcase those peripheral characters and situations.<BR/><BR/>by which i mean to say: to me, the best line in that move from miranda july wasn't any of her incomplete sentences or crazytalk, it was: "We have a whole life to live together you fucker, but it can't start until you call."<BR/><BR/>pretty sure amelie would never have said *that*. <BR/><BR/>i say this with love! <BR/><BR/>xoxoxoxoxoxo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
