Now Playing: Gilmore Girls -
Yesterday was Happy Chinese New Year day and the Year of the Rooster has thusly begun. Happy Chinese New Year to one and all. Of course a Rooster, as any person with a bit of farm knowledge knows, is a Cock and so happy year of the Cock to you. Of side and related interest is the new indie type movie having to do with the making of "Deep Throat" (70's blurry porn with Linda Lovelace and Harry Ream - made famous because it was the first porn movie to have popular buzz surrounding it and 'normal' people knew about it and saw it because it was cool and hip which of course is a fine excuse to watch porn) Deep throating is the slang term for putting a rooster down a females throat. If it involved putting a rooster down a male persons throat that would be a gay porn movie and much less cool. Especially for the people of the 70's. I know the 70's has The Village People as one of it's cultural icons but in the 70's many of us did not know they were five gay guys. Some of us thought that they were like the Bay City Rollers but only with Ameican costumes instead of kilts. And if you don't know who the Bay City Rollers were then you never watched the Merv Griffin Show in the 70's either.
I know nothing about the indie style movie detailing the making of "Deep Throat" but as with many crappy indie movies the way they make money is by being smarter than you and thereby attracting the 'smart' crowd of people who need the validation that they are smarter than you and so watch 'smart' indie movies. See, smart people don't cotton to those major corporation movies because they are created for the unwashed masses. This opinion is of course validated by the movies usually being uncommonly crappy and of such crapitude that the fabric of time and space itself is ruptured. Therefore, to avoid death and destruction from whatever demons emerge near showing of Gigli, Glitter, Troy, Alexander or any of the other other more recently spewed forth crapfests just don't go near those movies. Smart people are not part of the unwashed masses and so they desperately need the validation of smartness that only comes with superior pursuits. Indie movies, Opera and knowing that it's the year of the Cock are just part of that knowledge and part of the pursuits necessary to be superior. Oh, and Arrugula. You would need to know about Arrugula. :-)
