Watched: Cape Fear (1962)

All that shit I mentioned from Scorsese's Cape Fear, but in a far more restrained and less graphic manner. Also, Mitchum vs. Peck. Two incredibly handsome, incredibly different, and incredibly talented actors. While I thought this Cape Fear was better (script, cinematography, acting) but I found the '92 version more haunting. Make what you will of that.

Sonnets from the Portugese

Accuse me not, beseech thee, that I wear
Too calm and sad a face in front of thine;
For we two look two ways, and cannot shine
With the same sunlight on our brow and hair.
On me thou lookest with no doubting care,
As on a bee in a crystalline;
Since sorrow hath shut me safe in love's divine
And to spread wing and fly in the outer air
Were most impossible failure, if I strove
To fail so. But I look on thee--on thee--
Beholding, besides love, the end of love,
Hearing oblivion beyond memory;
As one who sits and gazes from above,
Over the rivers to the bitter sea.

--Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Watched: The Gay Divorcee

Ginger. Fred. So much talent. Flimsy plot. Fantastic theatrics.

(Weird.)

(Weirder.)

(Weirdest.)

Watched: Woman in the Window

Cheap ending. Fabulous outfits. Lang. Mirrors. Blackmail. Murder. Tension.

Watched: Even Dwarfs Started Small

Herzog. Inmates taking over the asylum. Self-discovery. Love. Rebellion.

Check out my super mom jeans!

What if I was a superhero? That sure would be nice.

Watched: Gettin' Square

I am not above admitting I watchced this one solely for the purpose of ogling Sam Worthington. And it was still barely tolerable. He sure is cute though, isn't he? I can't wait for Clash of the Titans. I'm going to see it in 3D IMAX jumbo-megatron. Thrice.

Watched: Born Yesterday

Calculation. Innocence. Wackiness. Politics as usual. Most importantly, a FABULOUS wardrobe.

Watched: Cape Fear (1991)

Brutality. Paranoia. Obsession. Sex. Pain. Resolve. That unnerving junction in life where these and other similarly discomfiting element approach, collide, and destroy.

Watched: The Swimmer

Hypocrisy. Suburbia. Bathing suits. Self-denial. Disgrace. Twist ending, except not really.
