Lolita's Fist

🍒 Yes, it’s beautiful. Yes, the 3D was done well. Yes, it’s worth seeing, especially for the threesome - I’ve not seen anything like that on film before. But… meh. Story is kinda thin. The meta narratives are emaciated. There are some things to be said about the sexism of the film. Female replicants.  2049 - Joi (home entertainment and cook), Luv (librarian and killing machine). 2019 - Pris (prostitute and gymnast), Zhora (sex performer with animals), Rachael (secretary and mother) Extended death scenes.  The deaths of the female replicants take many many seconds. The hologram, Joi, is erased and spends many seconds crying out for K at the window of his spinner crash site. Luv is drowned at length, almost erotic asphyxiation snuff-like by K in the womb-ish transport vehicle. Pris is shot by Deckard and has an epileptic seizure-like unreal writhing tongue-protruding death. Zhora is shot by Deckard and crashes through several, several many fashion-store windows in her see-through

[ Transvestite - Someone who likes to dress up in clothes of the opposite gender. The intention is to 'pass', to remain inconspicuous. Trans  - Someone who has been born into a body that doesn't reflect their inside gender. The intention is to disrupt binary ideas of gender and/or to change to the other gender and 'pass'. Passing is not a bad thing, necessarily. Some people don't want to draw attention to themselves, don't want conflict, don't want to be an activist every day. Drag Queens - Someone who performs the opposite gender. It's fun, it's sassy, it's political, it's ironic, it's challenging. It's a fun way to do politics. Of course, within any of these groups, individuals may vary.] So Drag Queens are a protest-solidarity-defiant-awakening performance of the thing straight men fear the most about homosexuality - a woman that comes onto them who is not even trying to pass, not even trying to conform to the femininity

🍒 Withnail & I (1987), and Moonstruck (1987) are beloved because they instruct me to be in their mood. And their moods are intense.

🍒 #DumpTrump #Feminism ~ We might have to enslave some of the Americans too. But nah. Not Trump and his supporters. I wouldn't want them even as slaves. Yucky. If IMDB had fractions, it would be a single fraction off. Fantabulous. IMDB Big Little Lies (2017)  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3920596 Actors: Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman Creator: David E. Kelley

🍒 I vote we enslave the British and make them produce mini-serieses and leave all those other little fiddlies they are busy with. Use a little military intervention to focus their attentions where they are needed. Who's with me! IMDB And Then There Were None (2015)  Director: George Pollock Actors: Hugh O'Brian, Shirley Eaton

I met my match re Violence. I am inured, usually. Stephen King's story of a man stranded on a tiny desert island is one of my favorites, and Misery. But don't weave the two together and make the woman the story's focus through no fault of her own... yes, King blames her, but he doesn't understand Stockholm Syndrome, The Woman's Version. And I had to watch, to the last moment, such #Truth in relationships on film is compulsive watching. And compulsory for #Feminism.
