About Me

I love all sorts of films but most of all the rich black and white cinema experience that makes me want to eat chocolate and roll around in velvet

Then nightly sings the staring owl

When all aloud the wind doe blow,
And coughing drowns the parson’s saw,
And birds sit brooding in the snow,
And Marian’s nose looks red and raw,
When roasted crabs^hiss in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
To-whit! To-who!—a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

When icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When blood is nipp’d, and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
To-whit! To-who!—a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.

(^crabapples…not sea crabs:)

There was a line/There was a formula
Sharp as a knife/Facts cut a hole in us

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don’t do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things
Facts don’t stain the furniture
Facts go out and slam the door
Facts are written all over your face
Facts continue to change their shape

I’m still waiting…I’m still waiting…I’m still waiting…
I’m still waiting…I’m still waiting…I’m still waiting…
I’m still waiting…I’m still waiting…

Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look, could kill
My pain, your thrill

I hear you calling and it’s needles and pins (and pins)
I want to hurt you just to hear you screaming my name
Don’t want to touch you but you’re under my skin (deep in)
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You’re poison, running through my veins

Your mouth, so hot
Your web, I’m caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace, on sweat

She’s got a smile it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I’d stare too long
I’d probably break down and cry

Oh, oh, oh
Sweet child o’ mine
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Sweet love of mine

She’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

I♥Axl

Why don’t you ask him if he’s going to stay
Why don’t you ask him if he’s going away
Why don’t you tell me what’s going on
Why don’t you tell me who’s on the phone
Why don’t you ask him what’s going on
Why don’t you ask him who’s the latest on his throne

Don’t say that you love me
Just tell me that you want me
Tusk!
Just say that you love me
Dont tell me that you…

Tusk! Tusk! Tusk! Tusk!

Rust-bone

Rust and Bone

Tediously self indulgent, way too long and plagued by a surfeit of melodrama and plot devices that all but smothered any chance of my engaging with the tender heart it was trying desperately to set a beating. At times I found it ludicrous especially when pegleg took over the bare knuckle fighters betting book. I liked the hand to snout scene with Orca but mostly this left me yawning and amusing myself guessing what was going to happen next. Sadly, I was all too often on the money.

    awww fanks Wolf ! Yours are good too. I'm having a lot of cinema withdrawal as being disciplined in finishing my novel so no time for films much at all, the OSR thread is my only indulgence. Its a bit sad the kick I get out of seeing a perfect page with themes unfolding ;)

    It's hard not to want to OSR to develop in certain ways. (I, for one, was hoping that my Terms of Endearment post would lead to the diarrhea scene from Dumb and Dumber, but alas...). But really, you've got to do it like improv comedy - "yes and." I take it you're writing a novel and not just reading a really long one? ;) If so, good luck, and keep at it. Wrestle that thing to the ground like a Grizzly Bear!

    I thought so! Pleased someone else got a chuckle, that last one was hard to match and I missed my great masks shot from naughty Sarno's Sins in the Suburbs from which Stanley got a lot of his ideas for Eyes Wide Shut

Meg- I hear I have you to thank for making Terror in a Texas Town available for viewing. So thanks! If there's anything I can do for you (like downloading from piratebay and giving you a safe upload link), let me know!

    No problem, I was pleased it got through the blockade. It could disappear any old time. hopefully not til voting is over. I see it is getting some love. I have yet to watch Roe's Room -. Let me know if you need any other of your picks uploaded...say I read about a dog in Texas who survived a strichnine bait, his name was (and happily still is) Toby Keith Johnson, any relation?

Second viewing of this one which popped (pooped?) up on TV. I’d kind of forgotten it. I saw it at the cinema when it came out. I did appreciated aspects of it like its construction and stylised…  read review

Golden Door

A lyrical film handsomely filmed and peppered with flights of fancy/surreal imagery to add interest and texture. There’s a feel from the outset that Crialese knows we’ve seen it all before, the voyage…  read review
