Life Elizabeth Taylor, Sergio Leone, and Me
posted by on October 17 at 11:36 AM
Hello citizens of the Slogosphere, I am officially back from my official vacation, officially.
Aside from my gender reassignment surgery (success!), I spent the majority of my time off watching Sergio Leone’s four-hours-long-and-totally-amazing Once Upon a Time in America. I also spent at least four hours obsessively re-watching the clip below, in which Elizabeth Taylor exhibits the most impressive celebrity behavior in American history.
I can’t begin to guess what kind of drugs are required to make a person do such things, but I’m content to spend the rest of my life trying to find out.
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
Love. Her. They don't make 'em like that any more.
Train wreck, party of one. Your table is ready!
I fuckin' love that movie. Although the way it opens doesn't make all that much sense to me. I would have simply started off from when they were kids. Worked my way up. It's 'Once Upon A Time', not here's De Niro in an opium bar, some chick getting her titties played with by a gun--held by a dude looking for De Niro, why should I even be trying to understand what's going on when Once Upon A Time has yet to unfold and the overall substance of this opening scene doesn't need to be the first fucking thing I see. But that's me. I hold little grudges, but they never seem to get in the way of my love.
Sigh. James Woods used to be so fucking hot.
Schmader, you have made me the happiest woman in the world.
Won't you be my wife?
Liz: tragic Piscean dry drunk behavior...
OUATIA: One of the most evocative coming-of-age gangster films ever - featuring Jewish Mafia - Elizabeth McGovern - opium bed-smoking - disturbing revenge theme - group blow job - a haunting musical score by Ennio Morricone - appearances by Tandy Cronyn (trivia buffs will get it) and a young Jennifer Connelly. Not to mention the lead character is named "Noodles" -
This is also the first movie where Jennifer Connelly has been out on a pier.
Followed by:
Dark City
Requiem For a Dream
House of Sand and Fog
Possibly others. Bitch can't get out of pier shots, I guess.
Sweet -batshit crazy old person - bonus points for fame - can't wait 'til I'm old.
What's tragic about it? She's tanked to the gills on the finest pharmaceuticals money can buy.
There must have been a full moon, from the sound of it.
David, anything happening with a protest in Lynwood this weekend for the Watchman group?
My accountibilibuddy will be there at 10:00AM. So I should be there at 10:00AM. Definitely not 9:00AM. Hell no. That's when I'll wake up.
That clip is SO two weeks ago.
I would think if everyone was there right at 10:00 am at the convention center we should be able to meet the Christian Nazi's.
WEAR DRAG!!!!
I wouldn't be caught dead in drag, but if I were to actually wear drag to that event, I just might be caught dead in drag.
David, then why is your name still David? But take your time - it must be a joy to mull over the perfect female name.
did i seriously just witness that?.....
