Greetings Noble Sirs,

As you can see by my improved writing style, I have hired a new team of naked females to type for me. Rest assured, I have added a clause in their hiring contract specifically outlining the duties they will provide. I wish to thank you kind sirs for your patience.

I would like to take the time to tell those of you who are fleeing this controversial site like roaches running for cover--Good riddance, we did not want your unwashed, dirty hands to write so called "diaries" about your nasty, sinful lives. May you all rot in your lower class hellholes.

ride ( and write) on your bare skin ?

If you get pleasure out of that, you are the very person i'm looking for to be this star in my new film "The Pillow Book II".

take good care of your skin, sir. I may have desire to purchase them for $1000/sq inch to make this film.

As in the famous one by Sei Shonagon? Or is the phrase just an idiom or genre?

Nathan, intrigued

Yes, indeed. Peter Greenaway made a film "The Pillow Book" (1996) based on Sei Shonagon's Makura no soshi

is also a film by Peter Greenaway which involves lots of writing of the poems you're thinking of all over people. And apparently there's a sequel in the pipe. Who woulda thought.

Hopefully we will be spared from Ewan McGregor's penis this time.

Especially as I recall that his character died at the end of the original. I think even that is beyond Greenaway's "style", if you know what I mean.

What did he die of? Overexposure? Sexual exhaustion? Or just plain ink poisoning? I have no patience for Greenaway and don't plan to see the movie, so don't worry about spoiling it for me.

He died of an overdose to get Nikimo's (Nikito? Nikita? I'm too lazy to look it up) attention after she spurned him for having sex with the fat, nasty Asian publisher. I suppose he wanted her to write on him one last time, or something.

After his death, the publisher has a real pillowbook made out of Jerome's skin (that's Greenaway for you).

I think it ends on a better note, but it's been a while since I've seen it. Unfortunately, I just can't remember it right now. ;)

Best,

Amanda

Since when has Greenaway allowed a little thing like death stop him from showing a man's penis?


HahahahaHA! (none / 0) (#12)

Ohhh, you're right, of course. Even a well-cooked penis is, as you pointed out, within his, er, grasp.

However, Ewan's penis was released in paperback form in The Pillow Book. Though I'm curious, in this hypothetical sequel, as to how it could be brought back... a book end? Paper weight? I'm sure the possibilities are endless. ;)

Speaking of Greenaway, I caught Prospero's Books on IFC tonight. An interesting adaptation. Between that and Gormenghast I believe I need to give my eyes a break... watching both was like a visual ten course meal, though Greenaway's stuff was higher in calories, I think.

a sequel indeed... (none / 0) (#8)
by loginadequacy on Mon Dec 17th, 2001 at 08:11:05 AM PST
Yes, the original Greenaway's Pillow Book is definitely an assault on the senses. What the movie has in visual abuse, it lacks in characters. So I decided that a sequel with adequacy characters, like our honorable Dr. Martino Cortez and his female nude typists is inevitable.
