So me and E. went to go see the Bettie Page movie today at a private screening for the national board of review. Movie is very well made, well acted, well produced, but there is this overall "too cool for school" thing going on, same thing I've seen in a bunch of films of this kind. Maybe its old fashioned, but there isnt anyone to really like. All the characters, as well portrayed as they are, come off as either stupid, or uptight, or perverted, or zealotly religious. And for me, that makes me feel like something in the movie is just missing. I don't connect. That said, the movie may do well, considering its about a flashy topic and it is getting a lot of press. Just one man's questionable taste.
One thing, though, Gretchen Mol is on fire. And she shows it all.
So Im on a date with E at the screening, and shes a very proper young lady (I think, at least she comes off that way). Child of Russian military bureaucrats, I think. Drop dead gorgeous, a model, but smart as a whip, and she knows how to make fun of me without it stinging too much. (Or maybe that's me).
So we're watching the movie, all this nudity, bondage, spanking, and I am actually getting a teensy bit embarassed. Me. Yes really. Who did you think I was talking about?
So what about that? Should I have been embarassed. I haven't seen E naked (yet?) but Im watching Gretchen prance around in her privates for half the movie. With some women, wouldn't bother me a bit? Somehow with E., I wasn't blushing or anything (after all, its a dark theatre) but I noticed myself paying attention to this naked woman on screen while she is sitting next to me. Some girls I can watch porn with, so what does this say about E and I? I have no clue, gonna have to FIGURE IT OUT.
