OH HAPPY DAY PART 3

Suze and I both saw the movie Meg Ryan is talking about..."In The Cut"--both of us thought it was rubbish.

Portrays humanity in the worst light--that of mediocrity and self-absorption.

Since when is meaningless, unloving sex between deficient people poetic?

At least in THE PIANO Campion disguised the same theme, of self-absorbed people misusing each other....by distracting the audience with scenic photography and a classical soundtrack...

Humanity was created beautiful....yet has become flawed....anything which seeks to portray our race as intrinsically capable of nothing more than mediocrity and self-indulgence is evil and offensive and should be rejected.

...and yes..I do mean EVIL....

The seductive, avoidant, smug 'niceness' of Meg Ryan was seen through by Parkinson and the auidence (thankfully)...for once some truth and REALITY won out...

OH HAPPY DAY PART TWO

A woman who has made a career from acting the traditional "helpless ditzy incompetent" finds for the first time that it doesn't always work in real life...

Questions:
1) Why can't she walk steps easily?
2) Why does she kiss the men on the cheek but deny the women even basic courtesy? Is it because the women are more REAL than her?
3) Why does she keep talking about Jane Campion whenever she can't answer a question?

SO refreshing to not have interviewers fawning over her...GAME, SET and MATCH----PARKINSON!!!

OH HAPPY DAY!!!

I have always liked Michael Parkinson..here he joins the Pantheon Of Whoo-Yeah Legends by showing up Meg Ryan!!!!
