Well, I mean, I didn't click on the link, so it's still heresy to me.

Hmmm, I’m not sure it holds up in court to call evidence hearsay simply because you didn’t look at it.

Hmmm, I, on the other hand, and quite sure it does. It's called the See No Evil line of defense.

Does it help to know it’s a prosthetic?
It’s not real anymore than the rest of the makeup.

Really? And how do you know?

 

[Endless_Night]

And for that matter, why put in a prosthetic appendage?

The Ken doll was castrated for decades and no one said a word.

 

[hotwords229_A]

Really? And how do you know?

It was confirmed in the trivia. The director gifted the penis to Nicholas Hought as a joke.

Apparently, we all needed to see Dracula’s penis for storytelling purposes.

 

[Endless_Night]

The director gifted the penis to Nicholas Hought as a joke.

Dear Lord.

Apparently, we all needed to see Dracula’s penis for storytelling purposes.

No. No, we do not.

Nosferatu was not that kind of sexual.

. . . . . . . .

The image of Count Orlok in a sexual encounter just popped into my brain.

I may never forgive you.

 

[hotwords229_A]

No. No, we do not.

For the record, I, too, never wanted to see Nosferatu’s Schwantz.
But it happened and now we have to live in the world as it is.

I just wanna go on record saying I disapprove.

A LOT.

 

[hotwords229_A]

But you didn’t answer the question, are you more likely to look at the pic knowing it isn’t real?
Or is the verisimilitude of said penis not the problem?

 

[Endless_Night]

Oh. In my indignation on the despoiling of classic cinema I sort of forget the question.

Hmmm. I guess . . . .

I would be more like to look knowing it wasn't real. I still wouldn't like it, but not being an, errr, actual appendage, it would seem far less personal. More generic.

This is why I think prosthetic penises in movies are ridic(k)ulous.
If you’re going to show it then show it!

Yeah, but all the male actors want to look like they’ve got 10” hanging soft and waggling when they walk. Considering the avg erect length is somewhere around 4.5 to 5.5 inches (or something along those sizes), it will not be the normal for movies to have male actors bopping around natural.

 

[Endless_Night]

- have male actors bopping around natural.

My position here is why must they bop at all?

[Endless_Night]

Honestly, it's been like the ten plagues of Egypt around here.

Thank the universe we've moved into a new year.

 

[Endless_Night]

Also, I love my flannel sheets.

Which I many have already mentioned.

Once.

Possibly twice.

Being a Marlow and Spade fan I'm rather enthused about the new (to me) author I've stumbled across.

Matt Rees. He's been hailed as the Dashiell Hammett of Palestine. He's done a quartet of novels with the same detective protagonist and makes his settings into a character, like Hammett. Very Noir-ish.

Interestingly, he's Welsh. His background is as a journalist, and his beat for twenty years, the middle east.

I'm excited.

And starting the first book as soon as I finish The Long Goodbye, which, somewhat surprisingly, I've never read.

 

[Endless_Night]

There's this thing some people have? Do?

It's where they see some kind of . . . idk, shame in being single. Or divorced and single.

As often as not, it affects men and women equally. It can result in people staying in bad relationships or contracting with poor partner choices.

Someone I know peripherally just got married again after a divorce. He moped around like a failure for nearly a year until he met someone, then applied every blandishment possible to lure her into marriage. No one he knows holds out much for the union. (He was too desperate and she bolted once to date another.)

I don't understand the underlying motivation. Partnered up can be good. So can being single. Both have their points. To be one or the other for the state alone has no meaning.

Anyhoo, while the reasoning remains a mystery, turns out this has a name!

Anuptaphobia.

New word.

 

[hotwords229_A]

Some people can’t stand being alone.

 

[Endless_Night]

Some people can’t stand being alone.

I get that. It's the shame thing. I don't get where the shame comes from.

I’ll check him out. I’ve been reading the Douglas Lindsay books lately. They are enjoyable. And a lot of them with different series.

It’s probably their mothers’ faults.

Oooh, Scottish!

He is prolific. They sound as though they might be rather . . . gory? Violent?

I can navigate some, but a steady diet is too much for my fragile nervous system.

Those darn mothers.

Neither of the series I’ve read have been gory. Nor violent. Sure, in the Scottish ones there’s dead people, but he’s a homicide detective. Not nearly as descriptive on the gore stuff as some writers can get. That detective in particular doesn’t like bodies of blood.

The author is funny because there’s always a tidbit in the books about the silliness of
Murder mysteries/detective novels.
