While we wait...

Difficulties over the past three days, waiting to hear that one of the cats is all right, and in trying to divert myself I re-watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

God I hate that rabbit. I mean, it's easy to see how a metaphor for a dildo and a talking collection of wee-waa zones could find satisfaction together in Toon Town, but honestly I'd be happier if we just cut to the chase and watched some green screen Bob and Jessica miracle of porn. Of course, the moment it's overtly about sex, it hits the dead zone. Cool World was a film beyond rescue, though it had big names like Brad Pitt and Gabriel Byrne in it. Kim Basinger voiced the siren Holli Would, inheritor of the Jessica Rabbit medal for desperate cartoon demi-nymphos. Holli's breasts were smaller than Jessica's legendery bosom but she made up for it by having labia for a mouth and far less sense of humour about being a drawing; it was a terrible terrible film, and deserved to bomb, though I don't know if it did. Who Framed Roger Rabbit on the other hand, was mega, a blockbuster, a landmark. OK. But the film I want to see is the one where Jessica Rabbit and Holli Would kill Roger Rabbit and frame Eddie Valiant for the murder, only for it to turn out that Eddie and Jessica are in cahoots all along and promptly pop Holli's cork before she can start a new career as Instagram influencer. Then it's over and we can go back to wishing it was porn. Car's pulling up, looks like the news is all good. That's All Folks.
