Hello, stranger...

This is a private (from time to time) blog for my cinematic obsessions and scintillating (one-sided) reflections about movies. Feel yourself at home!

Câte ceva despre Madonna, Tarantino și... Tony Scott

Peste trei zile Madonna va descăleca la București și va încăleca pe un băț sticky&sweet pentru un show cum n-a văzut Marsilia (acolo a fost anulat din cauza prăbușirii unei platforme care a omorât doi salahori). O întâmpin pe Madonna, la al cărui concert nu voi ajunge, deoarece, pentru a-l parafraza pe Sting, I'll take Cohen, my dear, cu acest scânteietor dialog din Reservoir Dogs, a true opener - dialogul, a kickass debut pentru Tarantino - filmul. Cum embedding disabled by request, nu-mi rămân decât linkul și transcrierea discuției dintre niște domni cu pseudonime colorate:

[first lines]
Mr. Brown
: Let me tell you what 'Like a Virgin' is about. It's all about a girl who digs a guy with a big dick. The entire song. It's a metaphor for big dicks.
Mr. Blonde: No, no. It's about a girl who is very vulnerable. She's been fucked over a few times. Then she meets some guy who's really sensitive...
Mr. Brown: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... Time out Greenbay. Tell that fucking bullshit to the tourists.
Joe: Toby... Who the fuck is Toby? Toby...
Mr. Brown: 'Like a Virgin' is not about this sensitive girl who meets a nice fella. That's what "True Blue" is about, now, granted, no argument about that.
Mr. Orange: Which one is 'True Blue'?
Nice Guy Eddie: 'True Blue' was a big ass hit for Madonna. I don't even follow this Tops In Pops shit, and I've at least heard of "True Blue".
Mr. Orange: Look, asshole, I didn't say I ain't heard of it. All I asked was how does it go? Excuse me for not being the world's biggest Madonna fan.
Mr. Blonde: Personally, I can do without her.
Mr. Blue: I like her early stuff. You know, 'Lucky Star', 'Borderline' - but once she got into her 'Papa Don't Preach' phase, I don't know, I tuned out.
Mr. Brown: Hey, you guys are making me lose my... train of thought here. I was saying something, what was it?
Joe: Oh, Toby was this Chinese girl, what was her last name?
Mr. White: What's that?
Joe: I found this old address book in a jacket I ain't worn in a coon's age. What was that name?
Mr. Brown: What the fuck was I talking about?
Mr. Pink: You said 'True Blue' was about a nice girl, a sensitive girl who meets a nice guy, and that 'Like a Virgin' was a metaphor for big dicks.
Mr. Brown: Lemme tell you what 'Like a Virgin' is about. It's all about this cooze who's a regular fuck machine, I'm talking morning, day, night, afternoon, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick, dick.
Mr. Blue: How many dicks is that?
Mr. White: A lot.
Mr. Brown: Then one day she meets this John Holmes motherfucker and it's like, whoa baby, I mean this cat is like Charles Bronson in the 'Great Escape', he's digging tunnels. Now, she's gettin' the serious dick action and she's feeling something she ain't felt since forever. Pain. Pain.
It hurts her. It shouldn't hurt her, you know, her pussy should be Bubble Yum by now, but when this cat fucks her it hurts. It hurts just like it did the first time. You see the pain is reminding a fuck machine what it once was like to be a virgin. Hence, 'Like a Virgin'.

Apropo de personajele astea colour-coded: Tarantino le-a dat luciu, le-a impus în ceara memoriei noastre cinefile, dar de propus, le-a propus - patru la număr (Blue, Green, Gray, Brown) - Joseph Sargent în The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (1974). În organigrama gândită de Tony Scott pentru remake-ul care circulă în zilele noastre, Mr. Blue a fost lăsat pe dinafară, cei trei supraviețuitori fiind și ei rebotezați, însă produsul finit vine cu un glanț vizual pe care diverși specialiști nu s-au ferit să-l facă țăndări (între ei, Gorzo, care, din ce în ce mai dogmatic, vorba lui Raul pe twitter, spune referindu-se la "stilul" lui Scott că "e de neam prost" și că "dacă ar face filme porno, probabil că filmele lui s-ar și masturba în locul consumatorului"). Adânc, n-am ce zice...
