Staying up late to watch obscure movies which for some reason are only broadcast between one in the morning and four in the morning.

I love my Night Owlish ways.

The movie in question is Fur, by the way. Pretty "mundane" people and self-identifying "Freaks" who are also very pretty.

The last time this happened was a few months ago with A Scanner Darkly, hasn't been on teevee since, as far as I'm aware.

As an aside; it's interesting to note that both these films feature Robert Downey Junior, no. Also Zodiac, in which RDJ also appears, is on teevee this weekend and I'll be watching that as well. Yeah, try and stop my movie buffness.
Yes, RDJ rocks, rah rah rah - and yes he so spouts racist anti-intellectual nonsense... but his performances do really rock.
End of aside.

I also remember the first time I found an obscure movie in the middle on the night. It was about five years ago and I had insomnia and I was channel surfing like a zombie when suddenly I came across an Alan Rickman movie I didn't know existed - the horribleness of it!

The movie is Judas Kiss and it is so very bizarre, Alan Rickman's and Emma Thompson's accents alone are distracting from the plot - of which I have no recollection, by the way, but the grainy looking picture and the it being set in New Orleans, the one thing I remember, made it a funny movie experience as well.

As would watching a movie of that kind between two in the morning and four in the morning, I suppose.

Anyway, looking forward to the totally made up biopic of Diane Arbus and watching the prettiness of Steven Shainberg's directing. He's the one that did Secretary, probably the best love story ever.
Yes, even better than The French Lieutenant's Woman, which having seen it recently... is not that good as a story.

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*

-"V for Vendetta"
