Sinister: You Canadians...
by Mark Hester 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

I suppose, Natalie, you Canadians would want lyricalquotes from Trans X, Kon Kan, Martha & the Muffins, Glass Tiger....or were these not hitmakers back home? Why did you have to inflict Celine Dion on us, though? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: wayward and cynical
by PKHINTZ 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

I left the spacious country manor in New Jersey to visit the bright lights of New York City Saturday night. Whilst spending too much money on records at Other Music I noticed something that might be of general interest: a Belle and Sebastian set list. The glorious object was tacked to the wall behind the cash register; the rays of light that emanated from it nearly blinded me. The only words I could decipher were "Fox In the Snow." I was a bit surprised that I could read those words at all--I thought it would have been written in Scottish. And all this talk of Stephin Merritt is making me feel more than a little bitter. Andy #3, and any other Sinisterettes that went to the Magnetic Fields show, as you walked into the Mercury Lounge you may have noticed a boy and girl crying, pawing at the door; they were only 19 and the club was 21+. Well, next to those frantic two, were listee Megan and I, also 19, huddled under her umbrella, looking sour, waiting for something--maybe the bouncer to shrivel into a peanut. He never did; we left. Back in November Mr. Murdoch's sexuality was discussed. My father wanted me to give him an email demonstration while he visited. I opened my inbox--to find waiting for both of us twenty or so emails with the subject "Sinister: Gay Stuart", which sounds, well, just sinister. My father and I have never mentioned that to each other; we ignored it, uncomfortably. I do not think that Stuart M. has any obligation to tell whether he is or isn't; it is his life afterall. And, sexuality is fluid. If he were to tell, either the entire female population or the entire male population of the list would be disappointed. (Wouldn't you rather have the hope?) The difference between Stuart M. and Morrissey or Dickon from Orlando is that Stuart has never made references, vague statements, in the press about being a fancy pirate. Morrissey and Dickon's careers thrive on the ambiguity and speculation; Stuart's career, especially after the decision to not do press, thrives on talent alone. Some men are just sensitive. What did Mystic Tag write about Geminis talking? ;-) Well, some of the other parts of the horoscope were true for me, but I refuse to say which ones. I was sore about being pared up with Oscar Wilde--he's dead afterall--but I noticed the other two of my match-ups--Bridgitte Bardot _and_ Chris Geddes. (Bridgitte, Chris, email me privately, and we'll set something up. Baby, it's in the stars). I'M GOING NOW, BYE!!! Ha ha! Just kidding! What I really mean is, Living and loving Matthew ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .

Sinister: Fwd: Titanic rewritten
by mayfly 04 Mar '98

04 Mar '98

>>Many of you have seen the film "Titanic," which is about a great big >>boat that sank like a thousand years ago that for some reason everyone is >> just now getting worked up about. Some of you - I am speaking to the >>women here - have seen this movie several times. And I would like to >>know why. >> Have the principles of film-making not been adequately explained to >>you, so you think there's a chance the movie will end differently if you >>see it >> again? Do you think this is a "Choose Your Own Adventure" movie? >>Because it's not. No matter how many times you see it, the boat is >>going to sink, and >> thesame people are going to die, including the guy who falls and whacks >> his noggin on the railing on the way down. >>I think this movie is entirely too long. The actual sinking of the >>Titanic >> took only four hours; the movie is easily three times that long. (Note >> to reader: From the following choices, select the >>"this-movie-is-too-long" >> line you like best and go with it.) Savings bonds have matured in less >>time >> than it takes to watch this movie. Many marriages do not last as long >>as >> this movie. I had to shave twice during this movie. Three Eastern >>European >> nations (Izikikstan, Checher, and Zknkkmnzxxk) were formed while >>I was watching this movie.As a public service, then, I am offering my >>much-shortened >>screenplay which some ambitious film-maker can feel free to use as the >>script for a shorter version of "Titanic." All I want in return is a lot >>of >>money. >> (Scene 1) >> KATE WINSLET: Why, this is a fancy boat, isn't it? >> KATE'S WEASELLY FIANCE: Yes it certainly is. Here is the art you >> asked for. It is by an artist named "Picasso." I am certain he will >>amount to nothing. >>KATE: Ha ha ha. That is very funny to our 90's audience, >>because they know this priceless paintings will sink with the boat. >>LEONARDO DICAPRIO: Hello, I'm Leonardo DiCaprio. Perhaps you have >> seen the many Internet sites dedicated to the worship of me. You are >>very pretty. >>KATE: Thank you. So are you. >>LEONARDO: I know. Prettier than you, in fact. I am going to put >>on my "brooding" face now, to ensure that women will keep coming back >>again and again to see this movie. Later, my white shirt will be soaking >>wet. >>KATE: While you're doing that, I will concentrate on standing here >>and looking pretty, to keep the men in the audience interested until >>the boat sinks and people start dying. >> WEASELLY FIANCE: Excuse me. I do not like you, Leonardo, even >>though yousaved my fiancee's life. I am going to sneer at you and treat >>you like dirt because you're poor, and then I'll probably be physically >> >>abusive to my fiancee, and then, just to make sure the audience really >>hates >>me, and to make sure my character is entirely one-dimensional, perhaps >>I'll >>throw an elderly person into the water. >>AUDIENCE: Boo! We hate you! Even though all real people have at >>least a few admirable qualities, we have not been shown any of yours, >>and >>plus, you're trying to come between Leonardo and Kate, and so therefore >>we >>hate you! Boo! (Even though technically it is Leonardo who is coming >>between you and Kate. But Leonardo is handsomer than you, even though he >>is >>only 13, so we are on his side. Boo!) >> *** >> (Scene 2) >> LEONARDO: I'm glad we snuck away like this so that you could >>cheat on your fiance. >> KATE: So am I. Even though I am engaged to him and have made a >>commitmentto marry him, that is no reason why you and I cannot climb >>into the >>backseat of a car and steam up the windows together. The fact that I am >>the >> heroine of the movie will no doubt help the cattle-like audience >>forgive >>me of this, though they would probably be VERY angry indeed if my fiance >> >>were to do the same thing to me. >> AUDIENCE: Darn straight we would! Moo! We mean, Boo! >> LEONARDO: I agree. First, I would like to draw you, though, so of >>course you have to take off your clothes. >>KATE:But can a movie with five minutes of continuous nudity be >>at all successful in say, Provo, Utah, where the audiences might not >>stand >> for that sort of thing? >> LEONARDO: I would be willing to bet that for the first three weeks >> the film is in release, every single showing at Wynnsong Theater in >>Provo will sell out. >>NARRATOR: According to Wynnsong manager Matt Palmer, that is >>exactly what happened. >> KATE: All right, then. (sound of clothes hitting the floor) >> *** >> (Scene 3) >>FIRST MATE: Captain, we're about to hit an iceberg. >>CAPTAIN: Great, I could use some ice for my drink. (sound of >>drinking) >> ICEBERG: (hits boat) >> FIRST MATE: That can't be good. >> CAPTAIN: Bottoms up! >> AUDIENCE: (silence) >> FIRST MATE: That was irony, you fools. >> AUDIENCE: Baa! Moo! Where's Leonardo? >> *** >> (Scene 4) >> LEONARDO: I have been informed that this boat is sinking >> KATE: That is terrible >> LEONARDO: Would you like to engage in some more >>immoral-but-justified behavior? >> KATE: Certainly. >> WEASELLY FIANCE: (aside) I'm getting the raw end of the deal here: >>(to Leonardo) Listen, Leonardo, to cement my >>morally-dubious-yet-somehow-less-annoying-than-you personality, >>I am going to handcuff you to this pipe, here in a room that will soon >>be >>filling withwater, due to the fact that we are sinking, which I believe >>has >>been mentioned previously. >>LEONARDO: Why don't you just shoot me? >>WEASELLY FIANCE: Because then you wouldn't be able to escape >>and saveKate from me. Of course, you're going to die anyway- >>AUDIENCE: Don't spoil it for us! Boo! >>LEONARDO: He's right, though. I am doomed. >>AUDIENCE: Aww, look how cute he is when he's doomed. >>WEASELLY FIANCE: I hate you people. >> *** >>(Scene 5) >>150-YEAR-OLD-KATE: And that's when Leonardo rescued me from my >>evil fiance and helped me float on a board in the water. Of course, if >>it >> hadn't been for having to rescue HIM, I could have gotten on an actual >>lifeboat, and not frozen my legs nearly off. Anyway, he's pretty much >>dead >>now, and I'm well over a thousand years old, and who's making my >>supper? >>I need a bath. Turn down that Enya music, it's making my ears hurt. You >>kids >> today, with your loud music. Why, when I was - hey! Don't you walk away >> >>from me, Mr. Snooty-Patootie!

Sinister: Felt
