The first image is from the movie Colossal Youth by the director Pedro Costa. In the summer I went to see "In Vanda's Room" with Sean at Cinematheque, thinking that Costa made straight documentaries, and ended up being pulled, and blanched, and completely worn out by the enormity of that movie. And after the credits rolled we got to ask Costa questions, and before the moderator can pick from the hands raised, some guy just calls out "If this movie is so realist, why didn't you put any sex scenes in?" And when Costa had nothing to respond except some mumble about it not really fitting, this guy who (although I could be wrong), has never made anything beautiful in his life, goes, "well maybe next time", as if Costa should be humbled by his omission, and will definitely include some gratuitous fucking in any future project because this guy thinks it's still edgy and therefore authentic. Anyway, these two movies are why I named my blog as I did.
