Moral of the story: never try to take on Noel Fielding when it comes to making things weird.

There are days where I resonate deeply with this as a self-image.

"I do want to turn power roles on their heads but, perhaps unexpectedly enough, I don’t believe that the outward performance of female sexual dominance will have much effect in that regard. Perhaps the only reason that I do not merely reiterate the idea of a female supremacist state governed by spike-heeled, latex-clad, Wanda von Dunajew clones is that I’m not primarily dominant, and therefore couldn’t be Queen of such a state. But more than that, I think even such a proposal, while it seems to be the most radically opposite thing possible from anti-sex feminism, is in fact propagating the exact same problematic anti-sex and anti-femininity ideas as those it seeks to oppose. While I greatly admire and at times practice female sexual dominance, in terms of sexual politics I think it is far less useful for female empowerment than it would appear to be, sort of in the way that the SAT answer choice that seems totally obvious and easy is usually wrong.
"This is because intractably submissive men are actually often the biggest misogynists around: their worship of dominant women is the only way they can indulge deviant sexual desires while keeping their virgin/whore complexes intact. The dominant woman and the puritan virgin are in fact quite similar. They are both impenetrable fortresses of untouchable femininity; the woman-as-what-you-can’t-ever-have. The danger of actuality, of real possession, of the sex act and what follows in all its sticky complexities—which we never resolve because it’s no part of the stories of pursuit and courtship on which men and women alike are raised; stories that end with a fade-to-black on the way to the bedroom—is conveniently never reached, and the man can remain in a safe, comfortable state of unfulfilled torment."

I'm not entirely sure I agree with this, but I didn’t feel I could just 'heart' it and move on...It's a challenging statement, and one that I do not entirely agree with, but I can’t say that in my dominant days I didn’t meet men who enshrined me utterly--until it looked like they could have me. Then they tried either the cage or the rebuff, or both, which never worked.
So there are definite points to ponder here.

preservation of Haunted Hill
(originally published on March 20, 2011.)
House on Haunted Hill (1959)
I own both versions on DVD, and additionally, the original House on Haunted Hill on VHS. If we ever upgrade to Blu-Ray--or whatever comes next--I'll likely try to upgrade this too. One of my favorite films.
"She's so amusing..."

"There are many things in your heart you can never tell to another person. They are you, your private joys and sorrows, and you can never tell them. You cheapen yourself, the inside of yourself, when you tell them."
~Greta Garbo
My mother always says this.

This is not entirely true. If you find that person who sees you truly, who looks at you unflinchingly and accepts everything that you are, bright and dark, shimmering and shadowed...To that person, you can tell all these things, and not lose yourself or lessen who you are.
