Have you ever seen "The Saddest Music In the World" with Isabella Rossellini? It's always struck me as something Lynch would make for a lark, you should check it out. It's great fun.

On my list !

Damn, I oughta do the netflix thing.

Put it at the top of that list. Rossellini as a beer baroness who has no legs and instead has glass legs filled with beer. It does not get any better. Guy Maddin makes some crazy movies.

Lord Have Mercy. I thought someone else would have seen this by now, considering the high percentage of homos on this board.

Anyway, I saw it again, and noticed a lot of things I didn't before. In some ways, I enjoyed it more on the second viewing. Which is not to say I wasn't emotionally wrung out just the same. In spite of knowing which scenes were the most powerful, I was not shielded from the sadness. It was worse in a few instances.

Also, I got the soundtrack and have listened to it a number of times. It is great. Of course the theme is repeated in a number of different versions throughout and I have to skip it. It makes me too sad. But the other music is fun. There is unfortunately a Rufus Wainright song, and his voice drives me straight up a wall. But, I am able to listen to it at least. He seems to have downplayed his affectation a shade, so he doesn't sound so friggin fey and mannered.

The Emmylou song is really a corker too. And the Steve Earle song is the bomb.

Well, it looks like I spoke too soon. Apparently, I've been disinvited.

Well, they're both scum, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm going to go see it by myself. I'm swearing off people.

2005 was the year I did this as well. In general, people suck. Every once in awhile you find a gem, but the pickings have been mighty slim as of late.

Bad homos! BAD!

I haven't seen it yet. It's not like there's a chance in hell hubby would go with me, and I just found out that my gay is moving to San Diego in a few weeks.

No back-up fag you can bring up from the basement and brush off?
