I just-LOVE-Jean Harlow SO MUCH. So much. It twists my stomach up and makes my eyes tear and my heart beat and I want to giggle with joy.
I rented Red Dust; I really don't like the movie that much, but HARLEAN! Harlean, you make my heart sing. She's just... so... guh. Darling. Adorable. Charming. Seriously, when all I'd seen was the

Oh I'm in love with Jean, too! And Red Dust isn't one of my favourites, either, and I don't know how people get off saying it was racier than Red-Headed Woman because it isn't!!!

TCM is having a March 3rd tribute to Jeanie!! I'm tuning in because there are a few movies I haven't seen yet :))) I can't wait.

Are you serious?! I have to mark that on my calender.
I get kind of mad at TCM cause they don't show NEARLY enough of her movies. (all though it's true I haven't been watching it so much in the past month, so that may have changed.)
And I hate the new cult following she's got because Gwen Stefani is playing her in that movie; I know I should be glad she's getting more recognition, but it pisses me off.
Do you know what movies they're showing on the tribute day? I think I've seen all of her movies except Wife vs Secretary, which is weird, because I love Myrna Loy too, but the plot is kind of a turn off for me.
Guh! I'm so excited now.
And you're right about Red-Headed Woman. That plot was scandalous! Like Babyface, it's one of the ones I can't even see being made today. (but probably because NOW would picket it and say it was sexist.)

I HATE it when people put modern PC standards onto old movies! And Wife vs. Secretary is actually pretty good! Everyone thinks Jean Harlow is banging Clark Gable because she's so good-looking, but in reality he's deeply in love with his wife Myrna Loy. Yea, it's silly Production Code propaganda, but I still like it and think it's one of her best!

And here is the March 3rd Schedule. I don't know where you live, but these are the Eastern times:

3 Wednesday

6:00 AM The Beast Of The City (1932) A police captain leads the fight against a vicious gangland chief. Walter Huston, Jean Harlow, Wallace Ford. D: Charles Brabin. BW 86m. CC

7:30 AM Red Headed Woman (1932) An ambitious secretary tries to sleep her way into high society. Jean Harlow, Chester Morris, Una Merkel. D: Jack Conway. BW 80m. CC

9:00 AM Hold Your Man (1933) A hard-boiled babe and a con man wear down each other's rough edges. Jean Harlow, Clark Gable, Stuart Erwin. D: Sam Wood. BW 87m. CC

10:30 AM The Girl From Missouri (1934) A gold-digging chorus

my comments are so long! sorry.

6:00 AM The Beast Of The City
Oh yay! One I haven't seen! After saying that I realised there were a bunch of early ones I haven't seen yet, including the Laurel and Hardy one where she ends up in her undergarments.
Gosh, this is so exciting. And I'm excited about The Blonde Bombshell, cause I've never seen that either. For some reason I really like bio-pics like that.

I HATE it when people put modern PC standards onto old movies!I've gotten really defensive about a lot of the old movies I love (like Red Dust) because some of my friends are just appalled by them (ex, the characterisation of Hoi/Hoy) which is tacky I guess, but, you know. It was the thirties. I'll agree that they weren't up to today's standards but for god's sake let me enjoy my movies

I just watched Chicago for the first time this morning. It was odd, because I usually despise musicals and I liked it alot. When I grow up I want to be Velma.

But onto something important: I bleached my hair today. It's in my lj where you will read about my current self-inflicted agony and then you will send me kind words and maybe pretty pictures or something absolutely fabulous to cheer me up because I write you smut and you luv me. Right? Right.

Re:

I do! I will go look for cheering pictures and more!

I like that youre a librarian.
I feel shy and nervous replying to your journal for trivial insecure reasons.

Re:

[soyeahlike]

oh! I'm not a librarian yet, I've been out of school for months and lack the funds to return, but when I do, I'm going to be a librarian, so I feel a very righteous fury about all attacks on libraries, and libraries rights, etc (like the Patriot Act.) Which, actually, I would probably feel anyway, but wanting to be a librarian makes it personal.

I feel shy and nervous replying to your journal for trivial insecure reasons.
oh don't! I love comments! love love love. And I'm really just a giant geek, I mean go back and look at all my Harry Potter entries. You're awesome too, look at all the interests we have in common!

[theebee]

Oh, darling, this is very off topic but I didn't know if you knew and I can't get AIM to work b/c this computer is shot (I'm also pretending that this is an important thing to tell you->). But remember that silly quiz on FA, "Divining you match"? Apparently we both took it, because on the post that tells who got whom we're both mentioned.

Anyhoo, you got Tom Riddle and/or Fleur. I got Tom Riddle and/or and Parvati. I disapprove greatly. Well, I'll just have to pretend that she looks like the girl from Bend it Like Beckham.

Re:

[soyeahlike]

HAHAHA! FLEUR! AND TOM!

am irresistable sex goddess.
no, wait.
I AM A GOLDEN GOD.
And Parvati's not so bad! She's cheerful and giggly... If you don't want her we can swap Fleur, and I'll gush with Parvati about boy bands.

I think we were the ONLY two that said 'either'. Like we're the only queerbos in the fandom, please!

Re:

[theebee]

I know! They're all in witch-loving denial. BELLATRIX, people! Come on! I want Bellatrix or Pansy. Fleur has that whole part-veela thing that could make her sexy!evil, so I might take you up on the swapping.

I AM A GOLDEN GOD! I want those to be my last words, man.

Also, my aim is being wonky too, sorry about last night. It was making me so mad I just flounced away. And right now explorer is refusing to show pictures. I disapprove strongly.
