Darling Contagion
must be a devil between us
or whores in my head
whores at the door
whore in my bed
but hey
where have you been
if you go i will surely die

After a very fruitful day of being tired, bored and distracted I thought I would treat myself to a movie. My first in about a month .The Wicker Man was my first choice because my dad got it free with a copy of the Times ages ago and has been nagging at me ever since to give it a shot.
Being the dutiful daughter I was, I gave it a shot and IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!! *hysterics*
It's just about one of the best shows I have ever watched. It is so creepy and so stuffed full of symbolism and interesting visuals *ahem*, that you would be mad not to love it. It stars Christopher lee as Lord Summerisle (i.e leader of a whole bunch of mad deluded pagans).
If you didn't know the plot already, it is basically about an officer who got sent to this isle off the scottish mainland following a report on a missing girl. He turns up and everyone doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. This is played up against a whole background of very strange pagan rituals with very graphic shots (like umbilical cords, putting toads into mouths, dead puppies) which are very tastefully done (believe me, carcasses can look slick). Needless to say everything is not what it seems, or rather,everything is what it seems therefore making it even scarier.
Mostly shot in the daylight this movie's creepy feel is taken up a notch as everyone cavorts in their mad practices in the open, suggesting deeper madness afoot. You will love it. Even if you're a real wimpy buns and faint at the slightest suggestion of gore, you will be able to stomach this. Everyone will be able to stomach this seeing as the scariest shot in the movie was Christopher Lee dressed up as a manwoman.
Sigh... Christopher Lee.... I grovel at your feet. Now I understand how he can be a scottish Charlie Manson.. *swoon*,I would so join a crazy pagan cult for him, jumping naked over bonfires and what not... *siiiiigh*
-sorry,pictures unavailable to illustrate my points, blogspot being lame-
On a separate note...
I've relieved some of my tension online by addressing the issue of retail procrastination. I have been promising to get my hands on a list of DVDs for ages but alas alack, have been just too darn lazy. I resisted the urge to buy The L Word simply because it is a tv series and I don't really wish to bend my sexuality, right now at least, it's too much of an effort.
Instead,this is my list of dvd purchases:
1. 2046
2. What's Eating Gilbert Grape
3. Spirited Away
4. Innocence
What I wish to get but for some reason, didn't:
1. Raise the red lantern
2. Ma Mere ( too R rated to appear on my credit card bill)
Anyway....
I can't wait to go back! Listening to Lush radio right now and it's just reminding me so badly of my room back in spore. It makes me think of how I'd turn it on in the middle of the night, with my room dimly lit by candles, incense burning, the fan overhead gently whirring and the weather warm enough to just walk around in my fav ck boyshorts...aw shucks! I want to go home now! Those who have stayed over before will know how chilled/sexy my room can get ,even if I do say do myself heehee.... Damn Lush for making me so utterly homesick.
At the same time I am dreading the plane ride back. You would think I would have come up with a solution to help deal with plane hair considering what a veteran I am at flying. The prospect of peanuts and in-flight movies is a real perk though. Singapore here I come! Bring it ooooonnn!!!!! yee har!
