TOmT Well, you do seem to "like to watch" and unlike many here only say something when you've actually got something to say, so I could say that that reminded me of Chance the gardener. But I have to fess up here -- my casting choices were really not my own. As she said herself, Judy has such awesome power over me that she made me do it. After casting herself as Big Nurse I suspect she felt sated and went easy on you. :-)

He took my intelligence as a given, not as anything that deserved special notice. I didn't even know I was particularly smart until I got into college.

In fact, I made a clear distinction between lacking intelligence, on one hand, and lacking the will and self-discipline to exercise one's intelligence in rigorous argument--as well as the ability to enjoy the engagement--on the other. What I pointed out--explicitly--was that I'm not any smarter than you. The differences are that I'm not intellectually lazy, and I relish engagement.

That was a given, although one lurker here didn't believe you'd be that stupid. It cost her ten Euros. What left me reeling was your description of these women as having "an incredible amount of power."

Not only does Judy identify with these women, and *clearly* look upon them as women who have an incredible amount of power, she sees them as superior to men and gloats over it.

Can you say "self importance fantasies?" I think you can. :-) > And it's *most* > interesting that he likes the idea of Nurse Ratched > losing her power by having her femininity revealed.

I've told you a hundred times, Judy. I LOVE it when you get hysterical and go on like this. It's WHY I push your buttons, so that you WILL go on like this. Does that really strike you as someone trying to "silence" you? Sounds more like someone's paranoia and self- importance fantasies to me.

The WWotW is a cartoonish harpy who is hated by all and who maintains control only by terrorizing people. And who ends up defeated by the proverbial dash of cold water in the face. Barry, have you watched the movie lately? The WW is the *best*! :) I've always wondered how MH hit the exact right note in between scary and humorous, but she does, and it's really a fabulous performance.She's become my favorite character. Glinda is such a sugar-coated, too-good-to-be-true character. Not exactly phony, but not exactly real either. Big Nurse is actually portrayed in the book as a talented nurse who gave up opportunities to work in more prestigious hospitals because she enjoys controlling not only the mentally ill patients in her "care" but everyone else on the staff. In the book she's described as having... uh...a large bosom, which she is so distressed by that she straps it down under her starched uniforms to keep anyone from getting the impres- sion that she's a woman. Oh. I must have missed most of that. I thought she was pretty scary, but also with a certain amount of power too. Not someone I'd ever choose to run into. Sal

Translation: Barry's embarrassed that I've called attention to his fantasy. (He's also forgotten that just a couple posts back, he pretended to have won a bet that I'd say what I said. So much for his "reeling" and "amazement" in this post.) Both these characters, of course, *do* have an incredible amount of power. The Wicked Witch of the West's power is actually supernatural. And Nurse Ratched drives one character to suicide, then has McMurphy (with whom Barry strongly identifies) lobotomized, rendering him completely powerless. (The Wicked Witch of the West and Nurse Ratched have the honor of having been named the fourth- and fifth- greatest villains in film. McMurphy doesn't even make it into the top 50 heroes, if he's on that list at all.) > The WWotW is a cartoonish harpy who is hated by > all and who maintains control only by terrorizing > people.

One after another > of the patients check themselves out of the > hospital and leave her behind. As I said, Barry's fantasy includes the ultimate destruction of these women. And it's *most* interesting that he likes the idea of Nurse Ratched losing her power by having her femininity revealed. What he neglects to mention here is that in trying to strangle Nurse Ratched, McMurphy manages to damage her vocal cords so badly that she is unable to *speak*. That's the key to Barry's fantasy, his desire to shut me up. He wants it so badly he'd probably be willing to be lobotomized. > The amazing thing for me is that Judy views each > of these fictional characters as having "an incred- > ible amount of power."

The reason I have such power over you, Barry, is your *weakness*, not any extraordinary strength of mine. Authenticity trumps phoniness every time. But cheer up, you're not the only one to entertain such fantasies about me. Andrew Skolnick used to identify me with Torquemada, for example. > All in all, even though as I said the age thing is > all wrong, Hermione fidgeting in her chair and > waving her hand so she can give the "right" answer > and outshine the other students and then gloat is > a better match for Judy.

Hermione is, of course, supernaturally powerful in addition to being very smart. What Barry leaves out here is that she's also an admirable individual, extremely brave, loyal, and self-sacrificing. She frequently gets her friends out of messes, sometimes even saving their lives. (I'm not *that* admirable, I'm afraid.) I'm guessing Barry was tormented as a child by a female classmate who continually got the better of him intellectually, and most likely had a lot more character as well. So his notion of me as Hermione reveals yet another side to his fantasy.

Well then Camille Paglia would be the better choice -- not just because she's the first person who comes to mind with her online persona -- but also because she has some power as an intellectual (and to piss off other feminists). And there's a slight resemblance physically.

Congratulations. You just won me ten Euros, because I bet someone that's how you'd react. I picked clips that matched what I thought YOUR fantasies were, dear. Same for Edg, kicking ass with words. Now in Curtis' case I did go for my fantasy of the wandering minstrel, and he benefitted from it. The *least* you could have done is to react as he did, and say something like, "Aw shucks...I'm not *nearly* as attractive as either of these actresses."

Even though the age thang is all wrong, I thought the photo captured the real essence of you as I *really* see you: http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0241527/Kit-203.jpg Not evil, not powerful, just desperate for attention and trying to get it in the only way you've *ever* known how to get attention, by having the "right" answer, the one you found in a book or were told by some teacher.

I was thinking, for new.morning, more of a Max Van Sydow combo -- part from Bergeman's Seventh Seal, and the other from Hanna and Her Sisters. Perhaps as imitated by daffy duck. Saturday Night Live characters come to mind for me. Not only as characters, but the character that some see in others. For instance, Fred Garvin -- Male Prostitute -- could be how Duv sees Barry and Curtis. Or the Mrs. Conehead and Emilie Latella dynamic: Emile: "What is all this fuss I hear about the Supreme Court decision on a "deaf" penalty? It's terrible! Deaf people have enough problems as it is!" When Mrs Conehead points out Emile's error to her (death vs. deaf), she would crinkle her nose, usually say, "Oh, that's very different...", and then humbly say to the audience, "Never mind." Emilie being everyone on the forum except Mrs Conehead. And Vaj, though perhaps seeing himself as Yoda, might be seen by some as Mr. Conehead. And Rory and Jim, those "two wild an crazy neo-advaitists!!" Though Jim could well be played by Eddie Murphy playing Mr. Greenjeans. "Oh what a wonderful day in the neighbor hood..." And Rory played by JACK Handy, "Deep Thoughts". Who does not picture Off as Jim Belushi a martial arts guy with sword in the kitchen? (with a strong tinge of Jack N in The Shining). And a touch of the hyperactive 10 year old girl played by Gilda Radner. Jack in Shining might best portray Duv -- combined with Charlton Heston as Moses, crashing on the pagans (his people have become) dancing around a golden bull. Perhaps Martin Short's Ed Grimely (spiked hair) as Nab. Jon Lovitz could nail Shemp, "Yeah, yeah, thats the ticket... --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > IMDB Entry > > FAIRFIELD LIFE: THE MOVIE (2008) > > Directed by: Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino > > Starring: > > Humphrey Bogart as Rick (Duh..."Everybody comes to Rick's") > http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Casablanca-Posters_i1138841_.htm > > Johnny Depp as Alex > http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0325980/04_6520.jpg > > Rutger Hauer as new.morning > http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0083658/114482PRPHOTO1.jpg > > Kathleen Turner as Sal Sunshine > http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1800039600/photo/560702 > > Shemp Howard as shempmcgurk (again, Duh) > http://www.imdb.com/gallery/mptv/1207/Mptv/1207/5268_0041.jpg > > Kurt Russell as Bhairitu > http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0090728/BigTrouble.jpg > > Peter Sellers as TomT > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078841/posters > > Paul Newman as Rory > http://www.imdb.com/gallery/mptv/1252/Mptv/1252/6016_0022.jpg > > Robert Redford as Jim > http://www.imdb.com/gallery/mptv/1148/6016-0014.jpg > > Antonio Banderas as curtisdeltablues > http://www.boxxet.com/Salma_Hayek/Video_Desperado_Canci_n_del_mariachi.15hl5k.d > > Bruce Campbell as off_world_beings > http://www.imdb.com/gallery/granitz/1494/Events/1494/BruceCampb_Vespa_609154_400.jpg > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl_L0A3PUoY > > Paul Reubens as nablus > http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Pee-wee-s-Big-Adventure-Posters_i1632923_.htm > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVKsd8z6scw > > Michael Keaton as Willytex > http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0094721/Ss/0094721/BEETLEJUICE7.jpg > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5TggQr9Vck > > Robert De Niro as Vaj > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092563/posters > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVMw-pSgUQU > > Steve Martin as Edg > http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093886/posters > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWNLhptltBg > > Louise Fletcher as Judy Stein > http://www.littlereview.com/goddesslouise/movies/cuckoo.htm > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuyXTZuGPAs > > Kevin Spacey as TurquoiseB > http://www.imdb.com/gallery/ss/0114814/Ss/0114814/fcstil_0086.jpg > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhpG9i3H57Y >
