Lolita's Fist

#DanSays ~ If a man needs a kayak and a burlap sack to get off it would be in the room from the first time you have sex. Women never ask for what they want or bring what they want. Greta Gerwig just asked Billy Crudup for fantasy role play. He asked if he could rather just be himself. (Thankfully Gerwig said No). That was one hell of an important moment in film right there.  Owning your sexuality, being naughty, "I figured out how to be looked at by men, how to make men feel excited and uncomfortable." #ParaphrasingGenius Greta Gerwig

If we keep punishing the sexual assaulters - now not for their power-mongering pussy-grabbing dick-exhibiting rape-adjacent behaviour --- but for their apologies --- (and yes, apologies are not hollow if they are backed by a change of behaviour, a true understanding, a demonstration of amends) - then I think that's problematic. I was raised to unconditionally accept a concrete apology. That it's ungracious to not accept an apology. And as a feminist I think it is strategically problematic to keep beating a person with their hands up. I would feel like the cops leaning over Rodney King. Of course, the minute Louis CK whips his dick out again, he's dead to me. I am not the girl to hang around for the second apology. Not #MeToo

Night Must Fall (1964) Because clones, drones, and automobiles are missing. Everyone I know refuses to watch movies made before 2000. I've collected movies way back to the 40s. And I love them. You definitely can't watch them with a cell phone in front of your face. Don't get me wrong, I love new movies too. Many. I'm not too fond of the repetitive scores of many new movies. Do they pay musicians by the note! And the endless fight and chase scenes, they're all the same, just in one movie the guy hits up, in another movie he hits down. Snore. I do look down at my cellphone during these sorts of time-wasters. CGI makes up for it. If you look down at your cellphone while watching Albert Finney arrive at the mansion in Night Must Fall (1964) you'll miss the little over-excited jig he does at the gardner and all the increasing tell-tale signs of his intentions. And when would you see a post-2000 film where a young man so ominously wraps an old woman around

🍒 Extraordinary film about the ordinariness of war. Structured like a disaster movie with no cliffhangers, it undermines your every expectation of when to put your fingers in your ears. Disaster movies also show you a bit of relationship leg here and a bit of relationship leg there, in this case the camaraderie of men servicing a war. A Perfect Day takes you round the side of the horror, round the side of the explosives, round the side of the mass graves. It focuses on 'the other stuff' of war. Geniusly done. And, despite there being two women in the convoy, overnighting in the wilderness, the movie makers couldn't rustle up a scene where two named women talk to each other about something other than a man. Bechdel-fail. IMDB A Perfect Day (2015) Actors: Benicio Del Toro, Tim Robbins Director: Fernando León de Aranoa
