“Secretary” was over surprisingly quickly!
All self has to say is: the movie took a slight story (one of the slightest Gaitskill stories self has ever read) and made of it a fully realized film.
Who directed the movie? Must find out! He/She deserves kudos!
Self hardly feels anything for the character on the page, but in the movie, her heart went out immediately to Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character. Rent it on Netflix, if you haven’t already seen it!
Now to Story # 8 in Bad Behavior:
She remembered something he had said to her sometime before: “Don’t worry, Connie. In fifteen years, I’ll be doing my retrospective at the Whitney and you’ll be publishing regularly in The New Yorker.” He paused. “But by then we’ll be ugly.”
LOL!
To close, another picture self took yesterday, while walking the High Line:
There is a Museum of . . . Sex? Self learns something new every day!
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
