The TV Edition:
I completely forgot to mention that I was watching Pornography: the Musical the other night. The things you can learn from television!
1. Bukkake (oh dear)
2 Watersports: not of the surfing-variety
3. Porn stars should not really sing
4. There's a musical waiting to happen in every profession
Which brings me to: Men in Tights
Weren't they sweet?
Which swiftly leads me to the the opposite, the most appalling thing I've ever seen:
Racism in the police force.
Obviously the most chilling moment was when a PC pulled a hood over his head, pretending to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan, but also the way these men spoke to each other and defended themselves, was a sure sign that many people in this and many other countries think like they do. Hopefully they will never become part of any police force.
Finally: whatisname is out of the box. Whatever. Adding to the surreal carnival taking place in front of this box and his girlfriend throwing eggs at the people who were thowing things at Blaine, was Harmony Korine filming the entire thing, this film having been show to mark the grandeur of the feat. Or something like that. The film was typical Korine, grainy, handheld and full of naked women. I'm not sure what these women had to do with the brilliance of Blaine, especially as he didn't really do anything with them other than show them card-tricks. Come to think of it they weren't even tricks, he was just flipping cards and grinning, while the women were swaying and cooing in an appreciative manner. Great.
- If anyone wants to come with me at a two-for-the-price-of-one deal at the Film Festival to see Wonderland tomorrow night, let me know (although it's quite late and I'll probably fall asleep).
