Comment on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Commie (and Friend, Gay Dentist Hermey) by kanga

Another possibility is psychological: the “red nose” is in fact a phallus that becomes erect at inopportune times and/or precociously. Notice how Rudolph is precocious in “rising up” in flying–a well-known symbol of arousal–and is especially attractive in light of his nose to the doe, Clarice. There’s also an “ambiguous” scene where Hermey leaps up on Rudolph from behind to ride him, and another where those two and Cornelius share a bed–although Rudolph, a *heterosexual*, leaves Cornelius and Hermey to themselves.

Truly an eloquent description. I have to say the English VO version was more compelling. IMHO
But, I really enjoyed reading your take. Thanks for that.

Comment on Favorites Revisited #2: Revamped Camp (or, Why You Hate ‘Marie Antoinette’) by Christian

This is a very smart review, but I would argue there is a lot of psychological depth beneath the surface. It’s very much meant to be a moodpiece at heart, showing the emotional conflict of a young girl forced into marriage and into a zoo of an environment. The aesthetics represented the lavishness of Versailles and the way in which MA saw it was reflected through the music.

Comment on Polanski’s Friends Tut-tut at Rape Crime by Chaim Paddaman

Harvey Weinstein and the Hollywood elite present with distinctive clinical manifestations of malignant narcissistic traits. Harvey Weinstein and the Hollywood elite believe that Polanski’s sexual abuse of a child was an Hollywood entitlement. The sole purpose of state and federal law is not to benefit Weinstein and the Hollywood elite, as they demanded soft Hollywood justice for Polanski. Harvey Weinstein bankrolled Hillary Clinton’s political campaign. Give Harvey Weinstein his dues, he knows where the bacon is at; Between the pig’s tochas. Alas, Porky Weinstein is a mishugener………
