“Happy Husband Jim” was the role Richard played on a daily soap opera. With false lines that felt dead when they erupted from his mouth, he went home to his Not-So-Happy Wife Jane watching the episode Richard had filmed earlier in her bathrobe on the couch. While he walked through the door, his reflection on the television walked through the gate and they both said in unison “I have seven months to live.” Jane, thinking he was repeating the words for mocking purposes paid no attention to real Jim fantasizing of the things one could do with glossed up Made-For-TV Jim. He won’t tell her, he decides, “I’ll be right in front of her even when I’m gone.”

Catherine the Great.

“You are so lucky, dear Voltaire. You write your ideas on paper whereas I, poor Empress, write upon human skin, which is much more ticklish.”
-I really love this quote.

Catherine the Great or “enlightened despot” came into rule when her probably somewhat mentally ill husband was marching the soldiers around his castle like they were wind up soldiers, and playing with things like they were toys. She extended Peter the Great’s plans, but then when rebellions stirred she backed away from any idea of change and switched to conservative views.

Here’s a fun tid bit of information about Catherine: She had an intense passion for horses. She was sexually attracted to horses, and she once wrote about her love for a “stimulating horseback ride every morning.”

Contrary to popular beliefs, Catherine did not die engaging in sexual activities with a horse. The legend goes a horse was levied on top of her, and she collapsed. Catherine died of a bed illness, and although she had a love for horses they were not in any way involved in her death.

Even then the easiest way to attack a woman was related to sex. The people who opposed Catherine would write about her having all sorts of romances with horses.

Hey, if we run out of reasons she isn’t a great ruler lets attack the bestiality! snicker snicker. uh.

Lick The Star

Lick The Star: Part I

Lick The Star: Part II

This is a short by Sofia Cappola, and it is so beautiful…
I really like the soundtrack, and the one pan shots of the girls.
Audrey Heaven plays Chloe, and she is completely gorgeous.
I like it because it is so awkward. I like it when films make me feel somewhat uncomfortable at the end. I hope you enjoy.

I can remember reading books when I was younger, or watching a movie or something and wanting to do exactly what the characters did. Although I never tried to slowly poison a boy at school, I did write a spy journal, and made “secret” clubs. It’s probably a really good thing I didn’t see this when I was young. I want to start making short movies. I’ve been wanting to for a long time now, but I have no money for a camera! Money troubles. Money Troubles needs to be a name for a sitcom.

Sofia has also directed , The Virgin Suicides Lost in Translation, and her most recent is Marie Antoinette.

Movie Movie Movie you should see!
If Inland Empire is playing near you, and you don’t mind watching a scattered outrageous film, go see Inland Empire directed by David Lynch, who has also directed Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and the television show Twin Peaks. I can’t really describe this. The entire film is filmed on a digital camera, and it adds such a nice effect. I’m planning on making a trip to see it again. My favorite scene in the movie is when, “Visitor #1″ walks in, an old woman with a somewhat surprising accent walks in to a house and just starts going on about things that will happen, and when they will happen. The old woman is played by Grace Zabriski, and I have a thing for old women. I don’t romanticize about old women. I think it’s so great when Old women play nice roles in films. I loved Grace in Inland Empire just as much as I loved Ellen Burstyn in Requiem for a Dream. You’ll have to see it to really know what I’m talking about, but she really caught my attention. The rest of the movie makes it uneasy to catch your attention off every jumbled bit. Eventually you won’t know what’s going on, and Axxon N won’t mean a thing to you. I probably wouldn’t have gotten interested in David Lynch if it wasn’t for my “significant other” who puts “Axxon N” in his buddy profile. Eyes closed Eyes open!

I feel so rambunctious after watching Lick the Star, I guess it would have to be a 7th grade thought, but maybe I’ll cause some trouble tonight.
