• Double Feature

  I can't hear the words "double feature" without thinking of the lips from Rocky Horror.

  Anyway.  Second blog today.  And I actually went to a double feature today.  I went to a matinee and then Bill joined me later for a twilight movie.  (Not THE twilight movie.)

  "The Weekend," a movie about a gay couple that hooks up on a Friday night was my kind of movie.  The whole plotline is Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon.  I love that kind of thing.  It is brilliant.  "My Dinner With Andre" with sex.  More than that though, it is about the connection between people that just sometimes occurs for no good reason.  The story arc was subtle.  The characters were realistic and fantastic.

  Bill met me to go to a movie about a man who makes his daughter's rapist into a woman.  And afterwards we went out for cocktails and talked about the movie but also, inevitably, about our coupling, and how obviously unhealthy it is for the two of us in some ways and how impossible it is for us to be apart.  "I can't quit you," I said.  But Bill hasn't seen that gay film either, and frankly, the one I saw today was more universal (though not as pretty, but then, I am a Westerner).

  Chemistry is everything.  Well, except for the part that is biology.
