She said the actress had a psychology degree from Harvard. I looked it up and I only came up with Natalie Portman. Then I remembered the scene when Jenny was throwing a "punching" tantrum at Tina because they didn't get Natalie Portman. And now, she's going to have a sex scene with another woman. She seems to be residing a bit on my mind these past few days. I am curious about how good this movie will be.wanda d.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14192246869833503676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-35759976485161041192009-08-25T00:15:13.262-07:002009-08-25T00:15:13.262-07:00I think they look like identical twin sisters.

With those 2?") side is battling with my whole wheat ("When are we NOT going to be the freak side show?") part on this one, too.<br /><br />I also battle with the idea that, hey, we want to be treated like everyone else, that means freaky, edgy, insane, criminal, whathaveyou characters can just happen to have same sex encounters/relationships, too. <br /><br />Which of course would be easier to take if we got all the fluffy romance movies that straight pairs get to have, as well. I imagine if the majority of straight couples in film we saw only hooked up when insane, forced to or drugged, the disparity would be more obvious generally.<br /><br />And yet, my libido doesn't care what socio-political objections my brain has. Dammit.<br /><br />With the people involved, I think a wait and see on this one is merited... I don't think it will be a Basic Instinct exploitation kinda thing...Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-60182866175984088262009-08-24T15:32:07.747-07:002009-08-24T15:32:07.747-07:00I'm with you when you say:

But, once again, my joy at the joy of two women together is tempered by the fact that it is chemically enhanced. It’s the cinematic cousin to every drunken sorority girls’ hook up filmed for the fraternity boys’ enjoyment. And that is in no way good lesbian sex."<br /><br />I don't know, I'm kinda sure that the "ecstasy-induced" part will ruin the scene for me... so I'm not exactly excited about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-80232111894625127132009-08-24T13:53:59.113-07:002009-08-24T13:53:59.113-07:00I have to say I share your ambivalence here.

What a pair....Damn. That's all I can say- Damn! What a pair.<br /><br />I might be going to see Weisz in the London stage showing of 'A Streetcar named Desire'. Thought I'd mention that seeing as you'd mentioned her. Kind of. :P<br /><br />Also, I got CONFIRMATION than Ellen Page is indeed one of us. My aunt went to university with someone who is now working as a director, and she happens to be married to a PA who applied for the position of Leonardo DiCaprio's PA whilst he worked on a movie with Ellen Page. He didn't get that job, but Ellen Page needed a PA. He got THAT job. Which, lez be honest, is the greater of the two. As he was working for her he had to fly over her lover. When SHE arrived, he had to arrange for her travel and accomodation and such and such and such. He also mentioned that Ellen is a real cool girl, and that Leo was an absolute prick.<br /><br />It was a good day when I was told this. It was a good day indeed.Steph Rhttp://www.myspace.com/youngwithoutyouthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-72669474720354751532009-08-24T02:33:17.679-07:002009-08-24T02:33:17.679-07:00There is nothing wrong with you!

Thank you for reading between the lines/questioning the premise. <br /><br />The assumption that "dark side" = "sexual pervert" is also not one that sits comfortably with me.mel pnoreply@blogger.com
