OUT-PACED BY ROBERT DE NIRO'S GREAT PORTRAYAL OF A DISGUSTINGLY, MACHO, SEXIST, BUT MUSICALLY BRILLIANT, EGOTIST, LIZA WAS RESOLVED TO THE BACK OF THE SADDLE, HOLDING ON FOR HER LIFE....EVEN WHEN IN HER 'ELEMENT'....THE FOOTLIGHTS!.....ALL THIS SCREECHING AND FORMULAICALLY STYLISH CHOREOGRAPHY REPRESENT 'WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT BROADWAY'.....1977 WAS A BIG YEAR FOR FILMS ABOUT 'ASSHOLE MEN' AND FOR WOMEN, CHANNELLED INTO SUBMISSION BY THEIR SUBMISSIVE INSECURITIES .......AT LEAST, LIZA'S CHARACTER HAD THE SENSE TO QUIT PLAYING ALONG WITH THE 'GAME'......[AS I RECALL ANOTHER 1977 FILM, "LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR", IN WHICH DIANE KEATON'S 'CHARACTER' IS SERIALLY AND FATALLY ABUSED BY FOUR ASSHOLES WITH MACHO DOMINATION ROUTINES......]

mostly my nostalgic and frequently puerile reflections on old movies, music and whatever pops from the recesses of memory....i have detailed memory of the oddest and more insignificant details.......these memories codify and indelibly emboss the past into my portrait of the future.......and a bit queer, to boot!

About Me
- vaporcloud
- pragmatic sensualist, motivated by really deep instincts, actualized by willful imaginings and perpetuated by other's desires. Abstract, yet clear in purpose, honest, but abstruse, my moods change like winds and water with my confidences, and when ungrounded, i am both guarded and vulnerable, leaning, in darkness, to the Light, nurtured by instinctual feelings arising from a deep gene pool.
