Really, John Cale? 'Gloria', I believe it's called, preserved my sanity in high school.
The lines are perfect for a Catholic girl.
I might take an extra Xanax and see the Von Trier. I like comets and cataclysm. The lighting looks eerie and beautiful.
I don't watch vampire flicks. I read the first few vampire novels like "Carmela". Crumbs, even "Dracula", and that is
one long novel for someone who doesn't like vampires much. I did like the early Cronenberg, like Rabidhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabid
where Marilyn Chambers becomes infected and gets a 'phallic
stinger' in a slit in her armpit.Anyways, back to Gloria, I like these simple lines from Coldplay, which seem loosed of anger
Oh and I don't have a soul to save
Yes and I sin every single day
And back to cataclysm and infection, have you seen 28 Day Later? Here are women that, IMO, make it though the stone edifices of misogyny (depending on which alternate ending one prefers I guess.)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28_Days_Later
It does not matter what has been made of us; what matters is what we make of what has been done to us.
