On "Wilde" and why YOU should see it.
Now, when I saw "Wilde" in early September, it was only the last hour that I had caught, AND it was on cable. I liked it a lot, but BOY. Did I miss stuff! Just...WOW.
So, as Jadis had pointed out earlier, every movie should have Jude Law's ass as a regular feature from now on. I had not seen that feature before today, so couldn't really say, and now I can full-heartedly agree.
But not only that. What should also become a regular feature in every single movie that Hollywood now makes is Jude Law coming. Now, see, J. hadn't mentioned that part to me. And it was a LOVELY surprise. Holy shit. And, of course, there's Jude Law's stomach, and his arms, and his face, and, well. There is, of course, Jude Law. 'Nuff said.
Didn't someone say that he should play MacMurrough when/if they make "At Swim, Two Boys"? Oh, I am in FULL support of that bit of casting. Then we'd REALLY get to see his naked ass in its full glory once more. That'll be a happy day in Liz-Land.
All right, now to the movie. I didn't think it was possible for a movie to come out with so much blatant gay sex in it, but hurrah! Hell has frozen over. No, but I am glad that they didn't pretend that everything was all chaste and pretty. Yes, there were rent boys involved. Yes, men really do fuck up the ass. And, no, there isn't anything wrong with it.
Tom Wilkinson scared me, he really did. What a frightening, unforgiving man. I actually felt bad for Bosie, even though I wanted to thrash him for more than half the movie, as well. *sigh* He really didn't deserve Wilde, no matter how pretty he may have been. (Oh, Oscar...)
However, who was that...that...absolute...Greek God that played John Gray? Holy shit! Have never seen him before in my life, hope to see much more of him in the - hopefully near - future.
But the movie really was wonderful - and so fucking sad. It was so horrible, to see Oscar Wilde - AND Stephen Fry, for that matter - in a prison, when he should have been sitting in some beautiful English garden, writing beautiful plays, books, poetry, whatever else. People suck. I believe Houie and I discussed this fully last night, and it still amazes me how far fear can take someone. How it can so quickly grow into disgust and hatred, and fuel so much destruction and pain.
I was watching the part where he is being taken out of court and escorted to prison, and all the while, men and women are standing all around, calling him a pervert, sick, disgusting, spitting at him, and being so absolutely horrible, and out of those people, I bet not one has actually sat down and thought about it. Not one! Not one has actually gone through the process of explaining to him or herself why "buggery" is "bad", and "immoral". They probably only came as far as "I don't understand", and "it's differnet". And that makes it horrible. But that makes absolutely no sense to me! If people would just...just thought about this! If they would only just walk themselves through the process of working out exactly why homosexuality may happen, and how - not even why, but the reason why you cannot change who you are, and therefore, it is nobody's fault. And that it ISN'T wrong, if it happens, it's natural! It's still LOVE, dammit, and when two people really DO love each other, or care about one another, it's beautiful, and why should we deny it? Or, hell, if two people just want to fuck, what the hell is wrong with that?!
Argh. Ok, turning into another rant. But people make little sense to me, sometimes. There are few in this world that I respect, in all honesty. It may sound horrible, but I sometimes really hate people. I hate that they just DON'T THINK.
But anyway...
Said Houie showed me a lovely little picture that everybody should see. Yes, that is Elijah Wood. And, yes, that is also Orlando Bloom. And no, that isn't a friendly hug.
Like I said, friendly hugs don't start out in the groin area. And if you have ever been dry-humped, you know what it looks like. It looks like that.
Heh.
Thought I'd share with the world. Thank you, Houie.
EDITED TO ADD this, and this...AND...THIS.
Oh, and yes. This.
YES.
Enjoy.
Anyway. I think I may watch highlights from "Wilde" later tonight, after family goes to sleep. (They were out shopping earlier, so I took advantage of that.) Hmmmmm.... *contemplating*
Now, don't forget, everyone. Listen to "All Things Considered" on NPR today to hear our lovely Headmistresses and other faculty members of The Sugar Quill talk all about how fanfiction REWLS. I, for one, am very very excited. :-D
And, on a totally different note, you know how ancient Egyptians believed that your brain leaked out every time you sneezed? Well, if that were true, I'd be a brain-less zombie by now. Ick. I have gone through at least two boxes of tissues while home. There's something wrong with that. I know there is.
Over and out and achooo. I mean, aroooooooo.
