.19: "Genius outlasts beauty."
I have a Potions quota to meet, so please don't mind if this is too boring for you.
Terry, I'm afraid I didn't understand this comment you made to me: "Wollywood is Salem, only with more massive dance numbers, subtitles and less stories; don't lump its films together with indie films." Are you equating Indian productions with American ones? Suggesting that Indian film is the same besides those elements? Please explain.
And I am absolutely appalled by the Muggle cinema at this moment. A source of mine passed along to me a script of a film that should premiere later in the year, and it is terribly unbelievable. Obviously it's fiction, but it's fiction that doesn't make sense. I give you this excerpt:
Complete fiction! Especially since the term "pop idol" didn't even exist then! And what is that silly pin supposed to be? No such thing! Green carnations are not emerald pins, and they certainly aren't left with unexplained babies on doorsteps! And why on earth are glam rockers using those quotes in those contexts? I can understand having a teacher reading from my novel, but those rock stars spouting quotes?
Maybe it'll turn out to be an interesting film despite all this, but I don't think I'll bother. I can't even get past that in script, so to see it in a theatre would really upset me.
But if you're interested in queer glam rockers, I suppose it'll appeal. My dear twin will be overjoyed to see it, I'm sure.

- Settle on the last child in the row, a solemn tow-haired boy whose seriousness is betrayed only by the cherry-redness of his lips. A hand-made name card hanging from his neck reads ‘Oscar Wilde’.
EIGHT YEAR OLD OSCAR
I want to be a pop idol.
He wears the emerald pin on his lavender cravat. It sparkles.
