Favorite Movies

A Question to Readers for the Comments section: What are five movies you like a lot? Here are ten of my favorite with commentary. You can comment on my commentary and/or answer my questions if you like :-)

1. Hannah and her Sisters
I like a lot of old Woody Allen movies, and this is one of my favorite. Do you like Woody Allen movies? I know it's controversial to like his movies.

2. In a Year of Thirteen Moons
This is a Fassbinder movie that is very long and dark. It is about a woman who used to be a man, but got a sex change in order to earn the affection of a man whom she has a crush on. However, the man still doesn't like her too much and is somewhat neglectful and abusive. She has ruined her life because she is poor and left her wife and daughter to pursue this man. In the end she kills herself. This is John Waters' favorite movie (another controversial director who I like). Do you like John Waters? How about Fassbinder?

3. Life is Sweet
This is a Mike Leigh movie, long, dark, and comedic...slow-paced. Do you like Mike Leigh movies?

4. The Bad Seed
This is an old movie and the first to show a child commit murder. It is about a little girl who has a seductive relationship with her father. Her father goes away for a stint in the army. The mother has a kind heart and becomes increasingly concerned that the girl is a bad seed, an evil child. This movie isn't a horror movie, by the way. This movie is quite popular in the gay male community as a camp movie the way Mommy Dearest is. This movie touches on how I feel. I ID w/the little girl.

5. Rosemary's Baby
I ID w/Mia Farrow in this.

6. Ma Vie En Rose (My Life in Pink)
This is a French movie about a little trans boy. It's quite beautiful.

7. The Lonely Guy
This is a comedy about Steve Martin looking for love. I ID w/feeling lonely and think it is a sweet movie.

8. Crumb
I enjoyed this doc about R. Crumb, cartoonist, and found it to be feminist.

9. Female Trouble
This is an old John Waters movie. I like his old stuff the best. I like how subversive this movie is. I also consider it feminist as well.

10. The Grinch
This was fun to see on the big screen. I like Jim Carey when he is funny, and ID w/the lonely Grinch. It's also a very pretty movie.

Conversations with Pets

What kind of conversations do you have with your pets?

I talk to my cats a lot.

When I come in I say, "Hi, Guys!" They meow, and I say, "Yes, yes, your master is home! I love kittens!" They meow some more and I repeat, "I love kittens!"

Then they follow me into my bedroom and a crescendo of excitement is reached because I am about to give them a few tartar control bass flavored Pounce pellets. I say:
"Oh, you want your treats, Little Cats? Well, get to your posts!" Then they quickly both attempt to jump to the third floor of the cat condo, but one of them gets pushed to the second. I give them the treats and say their names, "Vrook! Vrook! Cloudercakes! Cloudercakes!" and I pet them as they munch.

This post is already way too embarrassing, so I'm checking out! See yaaaaa!~
