ah well thanks {smile} but i don't think the film/trailer was aiming fully for sensuality... the film's super grand by the way, free-wheelingly kinetic, indulgently silly, absurdly fun, marvelously ambitious, just excellent. overlong to be sure (4 hours!) but a likable, sweet, humorous, big achievement. and nice performances from many, specifically the two main leads (too lazy and time-pressed to google the names). hope you're well, fantastic to 'see' you. !
More will be coming yes as I am feeling a lot more consistently 'Bloggy' these days {smile} but in the usual fits and starts. Thank you for the sweetness and appreciation inside of the compliments of your words.
One Hundred Years of Solitude is a stunning experience and incomparable achievement. If it isn't 'the greatest book ever written,' it is certainly one of them. Other books/short stories/novellas I 'cannot recommend enough' might include Pale Fire, Notes from Underground, The Trial, The Man Who Was Thursday, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, The Road, Crime & Punishment, Neuromancer, 1984, Madame Bovary and Naked Lunch. [Some of these are listed in the post] [there are of course and wonderfully]: Others.
As to your nosy question!
You do ask plenty of those {GRIN} but I don't mind from you as you are rather darling about it. I will tell you 'how it happened' in short story form, some time, some moment, soon. Promise.
Ah! Notes from the Underground & Crime and Punishment are Fantastic. I've always been into nonfiction - philosophy &or anything that boasts self-improvement/self-relation-self-betterment. Dostoevsky did a number on my head, in that way, in the right time - right place - everything right. I was just on that kick awhile ago... I started reading everything free online ("free" being the operative word here, An Almighty: Yay for being broke!) and finally over the summer I got to 'have' the soft covers in my possession, (part convenience, part novelty). I was reading Schopenhauer right before - so after that I think I was ready for something a little less ... Well, you more than likely know what I mean. I wanted so badly to have a fantasy kick, - waited for that phase to 'hit' me but it never came and never does seem to come. =\ Sorry, LOTR fans! - watching Star Wars *Yoda* is as far as I've gone in that direction. I tried and do try though
( ... )
I like the classy retro vibe in those pictures. It's reminiscent of certain Japanese illustration styles (and some S. Korean films I think) that I've seen a bit over the past couple of years. I don't think I'd like it as much in a different context, if that makes sense.
I skimmed through the Golden Globes for Gervais. Made me smile but I didn't laugh. He'll always hold a place in my heart, however. I did laugh at Michael C. Hall's hat though, ha ha ha. Oh wait.....
yes i also enjoy how 'old time yet current' it all went down. and all that washed in sunlight bizz. fun with myself as usual! i also read the hullaboo surrounding the cancer victim and his 'psycho' hat choice for the evening. tsk squareds all around. with dashes of real humour but in the smallest 'heartfelt' (hollywood glitter!) ways. what with all that earthquakes and terror and security issues and people in the thousands dying and dying thing. also i can't believe i still haven't seen the precious film. what a speech, what a girl and surely once i've viewed it: what a performance? recently saw haneke's latest and totally LIKED. also though i'm terribly biased. me and that austrian auteur are 'like this.' {finger/hand gesture of some kind}
Oh, I didn't realize that was a Haneke film, I'll have to check it out. I have a copy of Evil Dead: The Musical from 2003 that I haven't watched yet, so that comes first. Terrible what's happened in Haiti, especially as it seems tied to a historical event that I've been fascinated with for a while (see James' "Black Jacobins" or Dubois' "Avengers of the New World").

More, more, more! I love the shag rug texture while you're looking flawless and aligned so nicely. Lush. You really do have perfect features.
I've never read One Hundred Years of Solitude, and I'm not sure why either... I've only heard positive things.
Nosy question time: (forgive, but maybe you expect that already from me by now! Haha): How did you meet your significant other?
