BAD SANTA, my darling Craig…?

Thought that line sounded familiar. Odd because I’ve never seen it.

It’s not a big deal, honey. I told you that away from the site.

I can see how it grabbed you by the way that you described it. You were drawn in to KEIRA’S situation by the pain she was going through and it moved you.

It just made me angry and depressed. Much more so because I was aware that this had been an actual woman’s existence and not just a meaningless screenplay that had no actual connection to anything.

I can’t even imagine the humiliation heaped on her by this unbelievably cruel spouse. Her best friend sells her out too. Then she has to give up the man she loves for…what? NOTHING.

This poor girl was gorgeous, lively, talented, ambitious. In another time she could’ve been anything. What a bloody waste. Such an unbelievable tragedy.

But our difference of opinion is not a big deal.

Well, you know that I prefer to be mysterious, Craig. Gives me more leverage at the end of the day.

You do realize that I have lived with guys and had two year relationships with other gentlemen that could NEVER figure me out? NOT EVER?

But I enjoy having you boys try. Keeps you on your toes.

Just as long as I stay one step ahead…

I’m a little surprised it didn’t work for you on any level, but not shocked.

I didn’t like it as much as some people and it took me at least half of the film to warm up to it, but eventually it did. Around about the time where she decided to toe the line for the sake of her children, the emotion of it got me and I thought Ms. Knightley did a great job.

So anyway, my mission to pin down what Miranda looks for in a movie continues….

Oh, believe me, glim. THEY DO. THEY REALLY DO…

That’s one of the reasons I was emphatic about the fact that you never see even an actual glimpse of KEIRA’S private areas in THE DUCHESS.

To this day, I get things in my WordPress Dashboard that tell me how people found CP – and I still see things like “Keira nude scene”, “Keira Nude in The Duchess”, “Nude Love Scene in The Duchess”.

It just doesn’t stop….

Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. KEIRA is very attractive. But she’s not at all sexy to my mind.

I have defended KEIRA’S slenderness and body type repeatedly. I will continue to do so.

But – realistically – if I were a man, I wouldn’t be at all interested in looking at someone naked if she were that thin. It just wouldn’t appeal to me.

Even though I’m straight, I still think the best looking women are the va va voom chicks – the headturners that have that kind of powerful sensuality that can mow you down. Like ELIZABETH TAYLOR, AVA GARDNER, ANN MARGRET, KIM BASINGER or LENA OLIN.

The vast majority of men don’t like their women that thin.

BUT how much of this has to do with the fact that this reed slim girl is “film star KEIRA KNIGHTLEY”?

Probably a lot, I’d say.

look how disappointed today and always the net was it saw natalie portman nude in hat short film. yes very very disaapointed.

and likely the same reaction if they saw the star of the duchess nude too. yeah…

(The English and the Irish have had one hell of a contentious relationship over the centuries. Check your history out.)

You know this for a fact, Danny.

But I definitely DO NOT LOVE period. Period can be stuffy and very, very dull. So unless it’s unconventional in some respect or white hot or incredibly sexy or vivid…then I don’t generally dig it.

All the classic period films that I’ve adored (and owned) were rather edgy: HOWARDS END, THE WINGS OF THE DOVE, A ROOM WITH A VIEW etc.

I actually surmised that THE DUCHESS would be this lousy from the trailer. But there was one person that we know that thought it was great. It’s been a pretty dead fall for me film wise so I decided to take a chance. I have great affection for both of those personalities. Obviously we have a difference of opinion.

But I thought that THE DUCHESS was unbearable in a lot of respects and a total and complete waste of time. Nothing will set my teeth on edge harder than a lovely decent young woman being deliberately kicked in the teeth and made to suffer horribly for two hours while her no good bastard of a husband gets to have his cake and eat it too. Plus all the other benefits that went with it.

What was the point???? No thanks.

I do adore you for the “genius” comment, sugar. There’s nothing I like more than appreciation.

But seriously…

People are way too uptight about sex. If people want to go to THE DUCHESS for that, what does that say about what’s going on out there? Rent or find something genuinely stimulating.

Better yet, have a really hot night. Or a weekend. Or something. With someone that you care deeply about or with somebody that you absolutely lust after.

Life is short. Very, very short.

SEIZE THE DAY, MY WONDROUS READERS…

You’re welcome….

Wow, this confirms what my worst expectations of the movie would be. Thanks for saving me the time…

LOL, your reply to Dorothy was hilarious. It was, in fact, “genius”…:-)

The new standard of idiocy, you mean. Hardy har har….

“(oh well, he’s in jail now…so i don’t think finding sex is going to be too hard. *ha ha*)”

“that’s so sweet. he’s a real romantic.”

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha HAH.

I do adore you, glim. You’re funny as hell….

See, this makes absolutely no sense to me.

I don’t have to get into the mood. I’m all ready there.

I have been in almost constant overdrive since I hit puberty at 12. The ONLY TIMES I’m not sexually responsive are in the morning (which can be easily solved by just not going to bed – I mean…uh…sleep) or when I’m really sick. That’s almost never.

On a normal morning (as soon as it gets light out – say 6 or 7 AM until noon) all I want to do is rest. Soon as afternoon rolls around I’m ready.

So, unless I was with a guy who shared my temperament and my drive (and there have been a few…) then I was always the instigator with boyfriends.

“Oh…You don’t want to drive all the way home. It’s miles and miles and it’s so cold out. Wouldn’t you rather just come in for a while and relax?”

Ha ha. Yeah….

But I imagine a lot of peoples’ relationships are nothing like mine.

See, this is the thing, glim. I think the fool shot himself in the arm out of sheer frustration. He couldn’t get her to do what he wanted, he wasn’t about to force her (thank God…) and he just snapped. Plus he’d been drinking. Idiot.

There were ways around it. He certainly could’ve…um…relieved his own tension. Or (if she really wanted to – obviously she didn’t) she could’ve helped him out without actually having intercourse with him.

But they didn’t talk about it like reasonable adults and he had a massive fit – and those are the things that can happen. People HAVE TO TALK TO EACH OTHER.

Well, if he’s in jail now maybe he’ll have time to think. Sounds like he needs some serious counselling before he’s ever in another relationship again.

What an incredible dunderhead….

also wonder if a lot more people are/wanting wishing to have sex with the female ?? is sex with her that good that the guy shoots himself in the arm not once/but twice to get over “no” ?? (oh well, he’s in jail now…so i don’t think ‘finding’ sex is gonna be to hard *ha ha* )

three….what was this guy drinking ??? what ??? and how much ??? i want to know…

four if the female he’s dating or whatever takes him back it’s because of this… He then stumbled into the kitchen before falling into the oven, knocking himself unconscious.

that’s so sweet. he’s a real romantic….

so yes females i’m sure you’ve had guys say to you if they don’t have sex right now they’re gonna die. but they don’t die and they don’t shoot themselves *twice* in the arm either.

the new standard has been set !!!!!

Unbelievable…

Yeah, whatever…

If you have to have it and the odds aren’t looking too terrific that day (whether you’re in a relationship OR NOT – doesn’t seem to matter sometimes), then give yourself the ultimate gift – if you get what I mean – or go pay for it if you’re currently unattached.

You’ll end up paying anyway. No matter who you’re with.

Eventually…
