Jena Malone’s Really Nice Dance

Filed under: General — Tags: , — m759 @ 1:44 am

Some lines from "Psychedelic Love," a song in
the album "New Truth" (2020), by Jenny O.

I went and saw my sister friend
Told her I been compromising
And I would like a psychedelic love
I will give all day long

She says, "Here's a piece of paper
      and a really nice pen
Write it down, read it out, tell me
      what it says, baby."

These lyrics, and the accompanying music, were presented
not in writing, but in dance, by Jena Malone in her Instagram
highlight "Dance revolt."

“There are dark comedies. There are screwball comedies.
But there aren’t many dark screwball comedies.
And if Nora Ephron’s Lucky Numbers  is any indication,
there’s a good reason for that.”

— Todd Anthony, South Florida Sun-Sentinel

"She's turning me on, turning me on
Pushing my buttons like it ain't no thing
If I'm what she wants, she gets what she wants
The neon's buzzing when she pulls that string"

Language Game for a Baker’s Wife (Pace Sondheim)

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 2:24 pm

From a 1984 film,  "2010: The Year We Make Contact" —

Russian — "Piece of pie."
American — "Cake. Piece of cake."

This brief dialogue was suggested by the phrase
"Pineapple Upside-Down Cake," which in turn was
suggested by an image and a dance from the Instagram
page of the talented Jena Malone:

Statement from the family of music man
Jerry Moss, who reportedly died yesterday
at 88 —

“They truly don’t make them like him anymore
and we will miss conversations with him about
everything under the sun,” the statement reads
in part, “the twinkle in his eyes as he approached
every moment ready for the next adventure.”

Twinkle, twinkle, Jena Malone . . .

Oppenheimer… Evan, not Robert

From an Evan Oppenheimer 2011 film script,

"The Speed of Thought."

. . . .

Do not worry, it's an easy technique.

Okay.

Right. Look at your feet.
Now, focus on them. See them well.
Put light on them.
Now go up through your body
and keep the focus.

Now is better.

If we open ourselves to each other,
things will get easier.

What is this?

It's something we do very much.
Knock down our walls
and we merge in our heads.
We learned everything about each other.

Everything?

It may be that we do not like
long after that…
but at least
we'll understand.

And then there is the Quick and Dirty method . . .
