Both funny and ridden with sex, angst, and self-loathing.

The Joys of the DVD

I had really got why DVDs were better than Tapes. Besides the could hold more and were easier to store. However, last night I was enlightened. I discovered that I could watch the beautiful and shirt-less Yul Brynner dance with the boring Deborah Kerr over and over again, while I stood on my coffee table and pretended he was dancing with me. The King & I is not my favorite Rogers & Hammerstein musical. Even if one ignores the offensiveness of the subject as our post-colonialism enlightenment demands, Deborah Kerr is awful and I hate her for ruining the movie.

A good trivia question is: who really did Deborah Kerr's singing in The King And I?

While I'm not going to defend her in that, I will say she's pretty good in Night Of The Iguana and From Here To Eternity.

...I'm just saying is all
