Re: The Libertine

andlary,

Come to think of it I remember looking at "National Geographic" to see the pictures of the naked cave women.

My gandmother was a Bible-toting Presbyterian, it was the only book she ever read. I often wondered if she "got off" on reading about all the orgies.

Anyhow, the old bag and her twin sister from Boston were at one time the oldest living identical twins in North America.

Why God/ Godess, Mother/Father Nature kept her living was more then I could ever fathom.

Sh*t son, I could tell you stories about that World you wouldn't believe.

Re: The Libertine

Mrs ED was asked to appear nude in this movie. I said I could only agree if I could be on set to see that she and all the other females were not being exploited.

She decided against it.






Damn.

She probably saw right through it.

Re: The Libertine

Thanks, Adam, but I reserved my 1000 Post Mark for One on One. It's a Done Deal Tradition. Btw, mayonnaise and vinegar is THE best tanning lotion in the world. You'll get really dark if you can get past smelling like a douche.

Re: The Libertine

Adam Isaac,

Tell me stories, I've got nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon.

I used to use Vichy tanning stuff until my sons(19 & 21) made fun of me , they said I looked like Lindsay Lohan.

Some producers wife from LA said I did look like Lindsay Lohan, then some old Italian Cholic gal said I did look kind of cute(meaning she said I did look like a gal).

I don't do drugs except for the odd time I go to Dicksons' Piano bar and grill on the Lakeshore in Toronto when the married gals coach me into smoking pot.

It's a strange bar because there is no piano and no grill even though the guy who runs it is from England and he's a classically trained pianist.

There were days when I drank alot after my divorce till my Jewish doctor said, "Dude, you have one more drink and your going to die!"

There is something about watching Johnny Depp on film especially "Edward Sciccorhands"

Had to throw that in since we are talking about the Libertine movie.

Re: The Libertine

Adam,

"The Libertine" supposedlly is about one mans descent into his own personal hell.

I have no intetest in witchcraft even if Chapters books stores(a Canadian company with supposed ties to the Illuminati and the NWO), they are the equivalent of Barnes and Noble in the states, carries row upon row of witchcraft stuff.. never read.. have no interest in the subject.. I'm a non-believer.

Re: The Libertine

Getting back to the film in question ...

I thoroughly enjoyed it. The combination of dark humor, self destructive behavior, and challenging of social norms was very entertaining to me. More a series of vignettes representative of Rochester's life than a cohesive narrative, this was definitely a character study far more than a plot driven movie.

I'm pretty sure ele and I saw different movies. This was definitely a comedy/drama. Funny as hell in a very dark way. And I completely disagree about it having "exceptionally bad cinematography" ... it was grainy and dark, but in a sepia old photograph way. This added substantially to the overall tone of the film. There were a few moments when the camera was intrusive, but for the most part, it was very nicely handled given the subject matter.

This is firmly an art house film and will never appeal to a broad audience, but I'm glad I saw it. I must say it's comical and completely in character to see Clary comparing this to Stealth.

Re: The Libertine

yeah, this was great. we didn't see it in the theater, due to friends discovering it was a drama ahead of time, so we waited for rental.


Good stuff.

Certainly a descent in to debauchary to find something, maybe enlightenment or maybe an attempt to understand what everyone found so important in it.

Or maybe he was just the Punk Rock of his day.
