All stories get more complicated the further you get into them.

This isn’t a bad thing, it’s just inevitable. The reader starts off knowing nothing, and over the course of the story they get fed more and more information.

If it’s a properly written story anything the reader is told will be relevant to further developments. That means they have to remember everything that’s happened so far and how it relates to everything else that’s also happened and everything that’s going to happen.

This network of events, consequences and reactions will get ever more intricate. To the point where it can become so overwhelming that when a character says, “Hey, Mary’s back!” all the reader thinks is, Who the hell is Mary?

i wonder if there is more to it than him takin umbrage @ a SUPER oblique & encrypted fixfic in the form of a happier endin for LEON | THE PROFESSIONAL ,

or if he also thinks that he is the only one allowed to reinterpret the story of the maid of orleans

& is also pissed off that nobody appreciates his sublime artistic endeavors  eg the horrible reviews that THE MESSENGER got when it came out

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/messenger_the_story_of_joan_of_arc/

& also how his recent attempted biopic of aung san suu kyi THE LADY was panned as a failure as biography DESPITE michelle yeohs acting being praised GOOD ACTING NOT ENF TO SALVAGE BAD DIRECTING is the eternal lesson

but when i see that he – just like ridley scott , just like michael bay – made a weird “arty” low budget little crime flick w a big name cast

, that turned out to be awful & incomprehensible AND like scotts to have a major point of overlap w NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN but also to have so many points of congruence w other films , visually & in terms of degrees-of-separation via casting , & also via name magicsymbolism

that all are in some way connected w del toro films

that it is no longer a question to me if the PROMETHEUS “bandage underwear / running down the hall scn” was a deliberate or an accidental resemblance to 5TH ELEMENT also not a question if it was a swipe or an homage

nope

just like scott homaged BAYFORMERS in the yellow sports car scn in COUNSELOR

he homaged besson in PROMETHEUS

bc politics makes strange bedfellows but so i guess does bein scorned by critics & also havin yr own old fanbase wonder wth happened to yr talent & where is the bay / scott / besson who made the rock=&-armageddon / alien-&-blade runner / leon-&-element ??

so hey we can all join in self referential footshootin stupidity

which is also supposed to be a big NYAH BLARGH ARGH WE HATES YOU 4EVA ! ! ! to their rivals , all these upstart crew & actors who think they know how to make movies GRARGHSNARGRHL WE WILL SHOW YOU by makin a movie so terrible that nobody understands how we did it

wait

maybe we didnt think this plan thru

but yeah THE FAMILY has enf bits & pieces that only make sense if seen as slivers fittin into a goblins mirror reflection of PACIFIC RIM as a magic mirror reflection of , in this case esp , scotts ROBIN HOOD which was ripping off BLADE 2 in a huge way along w HELLBOY 2

but also the overall superheroes themes of all del toro movies

& yes THE DEGREES OF SEAN BEAN bc it is def a slam @ RONIN which hah yeah thatll ttly show everyone involved in PR

& yes the nastiness in LUCY is also stuffs that makes sense if yr lookin at it as , like TF4 , a backatcha to PR

& YES THERE BE ALREADY SALVOS FIRED @ BOTH DEL TORO & KENNETH BRANAGH IN SCOTTS EXODUS PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS

IF I CAN GET A PICSPAM POST TOG WO MY COMPUTER CRASHING YET AGN I WILL SET IT OUT PLAINLY

but im not sure what that will prove either

otoh IT WILL CERTAINLY PROVIDE RAW MATERIAL FOR THE ALCHEMICAL RETORTS & FURNACES OF “CRIMSON PEAK” & PR2

& who knows what else

bc i just discovered there is a MODERN VERSION OF CYMBELINE (x) COMIN OUT as a small art film by michael almereyda WHICH HAS BESSONS EXWIFE JOVOVICH and& PAIN & GAINs ED HARRIS and 50 SHADES DAKOTA JOHNSON as the princess AND BAYFORMERS 1-3 JOHN LEGUIZAMO and also ETHAN HAWKE WHO WAS RECENTLY STARBUCK TO WILLIAM HURTS AHAB – & WILLIAM HURT HAD A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN SCOTTS ROBIN HOOD , MORE ON THAT LATER – oh & yes , was in ANTOINE FUQUAS TRAINING DAY & IVE TALKED ABT THE UNIVERSAL FIASCO W TAKIN AWAY AMERICAN GANGSTER FROM FUQUA & GIVIN IT TO RIDLEY SCOTT TO MAKE IT A CROWE GARY STU VEHICLE – in which you may be forgiven for forgetting that a certain british actor of increasing renown had a bit part as another gangster but yes THERE IS AN IDRIS ELBA CONNECTION TOO – and finally there is the STAR TREK / REBOOT CONNECTION bc ANTON YELCHIN AKA CHEKOV IN NUTREK is in it

& yes there was ANOTHER jab @ traditional trek fandom in PAIN & GAIN to go along w the travestyin of WRATH OF KHAN in BAYFORMERS 3

bc bay cast TONY SHALOUB AKA FRED KWAN FROM GALAXY QUEST as the real-life-victim-made-unlikeable-“deserved-it” of the based-on-a-true-crime-case story SO YEAH there is so much of a huge fuckyou @ their own fans by these great big babies but also , or primarily , idk which & not sure they know which , @ their perceived rivals

which yeah ok sure theyre makin gobs of money on these studio-supported mega projects & gettin carte blanche to make their ugly little id vanity projects that barely break even if that & get trashed on RT

but i guess its just so much salt in their eyes that upstarts get praised by critics & happy fanbases alike

so they gotta act out EVEN IF IT MEANS AN ENDLESS STRING OF OWN GOALS & PYRRHIC VICTORIES

meanwhile

the shakespeare / stage / series tv community is NOT HAPPY w the annointed princes of hollywood

& they are showing it @ every turn

accordin to imdb almereyda has cast VONDIE CURTIS HALL AS THE ROMAN GENERAL & ENVOY TO BRITAIN in his new movie

which isnt just diverse casting YES WE BITE OUR THUMB @ WHEDONS WHITEWASHING but also a connex to 1 . THE SOPRANOS aka take that besson ! ! & to ER yes that is both a BATMAN and a coen brothers shoutout

they are playin the great game

& i am wondering like hell what stanley tucci is gonna show up in after he finishes HUNGER GAMES series now … .

(im sure it seemed like a good idea @ the time , when bay cast OMFG ROBIN GOODFELLOW AKA PUCK as his heel-face-turn villain as a TAKE THAT to captain america fans - these sort of things always do , which is why yr supposed to keep a five-yr-old child on retainer to look em over first ! ! )

Welp, that last post about not anticipating any gyno follow up really bit me in the ass

I was supposed to be having the second of my 6-month follow up Pap smears today. That’s not how it turned out.

My doctor was joking with me that this would be one of the last times I’d be looking at my cervix, and did the smear swab. Then he sprayed with the vinegar solution, and obviously noticed something he didn’t like the look of. He told me he’d be taking a biopsy. While this was a lot better than the first colposcopy I had, it still hurt like a bitch.

Then he said he wanted to do a scraping of the inside of my cervix, in the area he couldn’t see with the colposcope. “Some cramping” ensued, and there was a pretty decent amount of bleeding, so he had to use whatever that peanut butter-looking coagulant stuff is. Unpleasant.

That second scrape made me really nervous because he hasn’t done it before. I’m not sure why he thought it would be needed now, but hopefully he’s just being thorough.

He didn’t book a follow up right away, which makes me feel slightly better, but said he would call with biopsy results in a few weeks.

I asked him about TTC, and he advised me to wait. He said that it would be safer to make sure the biopsy is negative (of course) first, but that if I get pregnant, they can still do some treatment if needed. Usually changes take a long time to develop/worsen, apparently.

So, that’s awesome. Just waiting with baited breath now!

In other news, my last poke/prod of the week is scheduled for Friday when the Humira nurse is coming to my work to do the blood draw for the antibody test.
