Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor

 

Black Swan, Darren Aronofsky

So, I’ve talked about this already, but I fucking loved every minute of “Black Swan.”

THAT BEING SAID (in this morning’s New York Times):

Cheryl Kaeser hesitated to let her daughter Emma, 15, a ballet student in Manhattan, see the movie. “I was concerned that it may show a particularly ugly side of ballet,” she said. Only recently has she decided to take Emma to the film, after serious consideration.

I mean, okay, I think the movie is a great PSA for keeping your fucking daughters out of ballet, totally.  But it’s not actually an appropriate movie for your fifteen year old daughter.  Winona Ryder and the nail file, people!

Also, let’s not make them think that, at any moment, while being eaten out, they could suddenly discover that their partner is actually a fucked-up mirrored version of themselves.  That’s not going to foster an appropriately warm and relaxed attitude towards receiving cunnilingus, okay?

Okay.

  7. sotheresthat said: Yeah, people really need to research the movies before they see them, because there were a lot of older people at the showing I went to who were expecting a nice ballet movie and getting scarred for life.

  9. viviopsis said: Meeeeh, that’s kind of a generalization… by fifteen I already had preeeetty good associations with cunnilingus, but perhaps I had a cushioned early adolescent life.
