Hipster:

Ehle's "Oh bother" used to drive me completely fucking insane with rage, but once I heard him use it in person, it's pretty funny.

It's still a shallow dodge, but it's a really funny shallow dodge.

"oh bother" is so dismissive and insulting. It pisses me off when you use it in response to something I post that I really feel strongly about.

...I have frames displayed on my newly-reopened web site on the Production Code. (See my other a.m.s. posting of this evening.) To read examples or see illustrations, go to http://prodcode.davidhayes.net. On the page you reach first, scroll to the bottom and click the link labeled "a Link to the Production Code and examples." (This is the only link displayed in a large font.) A new window will open containing frames. On the largest frame (the only one with a scrollbar), scroll down through the text of the Production Code to item "VI. Costumes." Click an "E" in the vertical-bar type frame to the left of the frame with the text. Click ing a box with an "E" will cause the program to squeeze in a new frame containing descriptions of scenes in several films that violated or circumvented the Production Code on this issue. Wherever you see a link labled "Pictures," this will open a new window with pictures and captions of all the scenes I have illustrations for within the category of "costumes." (The first film to be described in item VI. Costumes is "The Hypocites," and it is among the films with a link for the pictures page.)

This is not a slight in any way to you, Billy, but I wonder if Sally Potter isn't really a film maker women respond to.

considering i absolutely hated The Tango Lesson, i should probably avoid The Man Who Cried? although from the very little i can remember, i think it was the way Potter presented herself in the film; i felt it was overly megalomaniac and not even well-made.

Thanks for the link, Lady.
