The Queen of England

posted by on February 19 at 15:55 PM

I saw this satisfying Spanish actress, Ana Torrent, in a movie, The Other Boleyn Girl, that previewed at noon today at the always controversial, always difficult, always dizzying (space) Pacific Place.

The thing in the film that trapped all of my attention was not Natalie Portman’s forehead (it plays Anne Boleyn), not Scarlett Johansson’s fleshy upper lip (it plays Mary Boleyn). Both of these fine particulars could not compare with the exquisite mole that’s just above the right side of Ana Torrent’s upper lip. (It’s hard to see the mole in the above picture, but it’s there.)

A minute of the film that did not have that mole in it was a wasted minute. When her mole trembled, my soul trembled. When the mole was still; my heart raced. As the moon influences the movement and mood of large bodies of water, that mole exerted its mysterious force on the water that is so much of my body. If the walls of the Pacific Place crumbled all of sudden, I would have missed that catastrophe because all of my mind was held by the power of that Spanish mole.

moles are so much sexier if they're waxed.

Shhh - don't tell John le Carré about this!

Oh, fuck all that - how come you didn't post a pic of the big, wet, sloppy kiss between Natalie and Scarlett at the premiere of this movie?

What's so controversial about Pacific Place? It's a fucking mall.

That's what has been bugging me the last week! I've been feeling that fucking mole too, tugging at me, twisting me in knots. Making my soul, like, tremble. Only unlike you, I'd never heard of Ana Torrent or seen the offending mole until now.

All I knew was there was something rocking my world and without the insight and connections that you have in movieland, I was frightened and powerless but to wonder what was happening to me.

Your posts about women are pointless and annoying.

Holy mole!

Charles' posts about women in general, but particularly those publicly lusting after women, can be summed up in one word: creepy.

@4: Why didn't YOU post a link to a picture of that kiss!

I, for one, enjoy Charles's enjoyment of moles.

It was a food reference ... mole ... mole.

I think the controversy is the turnover in the stores there ... at least on the upper levels.

Cut Charles some slack. It's not easy being horny all the time for gorgeous women when you're ugly as sin and have no chance of getting them.

the mole is a lie.

@10, because every time I try to post a link (or do anything HTML-related, for that matter), the idiot server blows it out. The Daily Mail had it a couple days ago, though.

Whatever. The thing I want to know about this movie is, do Scarlett and Natalie Portman have a threeway with Eric Bana? Because that would make a great movie.

That mole is actually on her LEFT upper lip.

everytime you post about women I want to vomit. Half the time..it just doesn't make sense, and the other half looks like some dumb statement a frat boy would make with his guitar to get laid.

Chaz's white woman thing has now officially moved from creepy to actionable. But Dan and Chris, who between them have maybe one pair of balls, will just smile and nod and tomorrow there'll be more of the same ChazGazms on Slog.

Changing meds is always a bit disorienting, but I wish you the best of luck.

Okay, thanks for reassuring me. I was hoping I wasn't the only one who is being made uncomfortable by this sort of thing. Geesh.

Oh, and Lloyd #8, that's hilarious.

OK just plain creepy!

The same little Ana Torrent from "Spirit of the Beehive" and "Cria Cuervos"? Surprising, unnecessary creepiness of the post notwithstanding.

Since when did the Slog become home base for Charles' faux poetic masturbatory musing? gag, creep.

@19: Croydonfacelist! xo! I heart Vicki Pollard!
