Under a power-crazy, self-absorbed and unjust ruler, there are no winners save the ruler himself. Everyone suffers. Everyone dies.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-48963564557304615822010-05-09T02:13:26.711+08:002010-05-09T02:13:26.711+08:00Dear Keats,

You are absolutely correct, "Hab...Dear <b>Louis</b>,<br /><br />You are absolutely correct, "Hable Con Ella" is by Pedro Almodovar. Filmed in Spain, if I remember correctly. It is tragic and disturbing but ultimately hauntingly beautiful. Oh and all those little artistics touches -- the stories-within-stories, the film-within-a-film. It's a masterpiece! <br /><br />As for "Raise The Red Lantern" -- ah, I felt like becoming a nun and taking a vow of celibacy after watching it! All that competition! The scandals! The Ruritanian intrigue! The backstabbing! The power struggles! Wow -- why bother?!?!~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-3714463073689348992010-05-05T13:40:31.740+08:002010-05-05T13:40:31.740+08:00Your mention of "Raise the Red Lantern" ...Your mention of "Raise the Red Lantern" brought back memories of that movie which I had enjoyed watching a long time ago.<br /><br />"Hable con Ella" is an intriguing title.

Next time we have one in the shelter, I will text you, then you can let me know whether you and Chuan would like a ferret baby.<br /><br />As for That Special Someone... you know it's really love when you are just so comfortable and happy with each other that there is no need for clever conversation, makeup or doing stuff to impress each other. :D :D~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-81746468293286342022010-05-05T12:37:41.167+08:002010-05-05T12:37:41.167+08:00You like Robert Downey Jr, too?!

And despite the troubled life he's had, I hope it all works out and he stays 'clean'.<br /><br />And I simply LOVE the ferret!! He's too adorable! I'm so glad someone's got him already, otherwise . . . .<br /><br />About that special someone: I know what you mean when you say you need to share so much, but end up being simply happy to just be in each other's presence.Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10795820209657289652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-53767522126131280812010-05-05T07:50:02.309+08:002010-05-05T07:50:02.309+08:00CO78,
