Linda, Tony and the other comeback kid
March 5th, 2008
More years that I want to remember have passed since few of my friends could gather into an empty house, with a functioning VCR and a crappy television, to watch the oral gymnastics of Linda Lovelace. Not much remains in my memory, after other films stamped their own close ups over the relevant moments of Deepthroat. So I was certainly interested in seeing it a couple of weeks ago, perhaps to check how my memory held out the pass of time and experiences. I must confess that I was surprised by a porno film that, at least in my opinion, has a strong feministic message. Twenty years ago I paid attention to other aspects.
A week later, or two nights ago if you prefer, I was again looking at a repetition. The Sopranos fifth season was fully re-played in two nights, probably to warm up to the forthcoming sixth season, finally to be broadcasted in NL (soon). It was around a year ago that I saw these chapters of the Sopranos, and I loved them. I still like them, but contrary to seeing Deepthroath twenty years later, to see the Sopranos a year after was not very revelatory.
Hum. I wonder what that means.
And now to wait for CNN. Will this be a repetition of ’92 and the comeback kid? Or will we get yet another sweet talker into the white house?
