In Which Kristiana Rambles About An Old Movie...
So, it's been a long time since I posted here. Like since the end of the Western Conference Finals which I am still not over, but I did get one of my wishes: Kobe Bryant did cry when he lost and one of my greatest joys was not just that I noticed it, but I was at Kerbey Lane and heard people talking about it. Oh, yeah, Kobe don't mess with me. To paraphrase Eric Cartman, "Mmm. Sweet Kobe Bryant's tears... Tears of unfathomable sadness... Mmm..." I've really got to stop taking so much from that show.
Yeah, I'm not going to do that.
So, I've been rewatching Moulin Rouge, which is every bit as romantic and depressing as I remember it. Maybe even more depressing. But that could just be my quarterlife crisis at work.
On a tangential note, try to remember where this quote came from:
"I just have certain beliefs and those beliefs are inconsistent with having sex with a prostitute that I just met."
Anyway, I am having some lingering issues with this film, clearly influened by snark.
1. Why does Zidler want to make the Moulin Rouge a theater? Surely, it's much more profitable as a brotherl/nightclub? I mean, obviously there's a lot of overhead with the costumes and the giant elephant and the mermaid girl, but there are a lot of prostitutes who must certainly be bringing in non-taxable cash earnings. And you can probably overcharge for drinks too. And if they're drinking absinthe, they aren't going to remember what they paid for it the next morning. They're just going to remember a green fairy.
2. Shouldn't somebody have died of absinthe poisoning during the course of the film?
3. Is anyone as worried about Christian's exposure to tuberculosis as I am?
4. Shank. Duke. Seems simple to me.
5. What dumbass signs over the deed to the brothel? And who wants to buy a brothel, that apparently is seeing no profit? And who's going to go see a play at a place that was a brothel last week? Although in Fort Walton Beach, there's a church that used to be a strip club, so maybe it's that sort of thing...
Anybody want to see this Australia movie that's coming out? I'm tempted. I wonder how designed for ADD viewing it will be, because you know that's a consideration with me. And has anybody seen Lond Way Down on Fox Reality? Ewan McGregor, riding a motorcycle from Scotland to Capetown, with you know, his friend. And apparently at some point his wife, which pisses me off. You know, women of the world, we don't want our significant others crashing our chick time, let's just stay out of their motorcycle trips. And is anybody else sick of Woody Allen's London phase in which he tries to pretend he's a subtle director and also seems to utilize the same film stock made available to ITV in the early 1990s?
And with that impossibly obscure reference, I will conclude.
