Sound Check

Both in focus for a change... What a difference a bit of editing makes... The dvds released for Emmy review had an unedited 'rougher' soundtrack than the final show as aired. Its interesting to hear the difference; you get the 'real' sounds of breathing and items clinking, etc.

'UnPlugged' - unedited B&T scenes from TLW 5.06.

IC rocks someone's world

Show someone you care:
Send them a photo of... rocks?

photo in background during 'irene's 511 podvideocast
Watching 511's Secret Ingredient 'podcast' you notice the camera pan left to show us these 'break-up' items. When it zooms in, behind the bottles we can see a photo with:
'ILENE - I love you'.
Obviously not from her kids... but what is it?

To me, it looks like a photo of a pile of rocks.
Symbolism?... Random?... Guesses, anyone?

Ivory to Ebony in two steps

Fun from TLW episode 511...
'Oops': When Bette and Jodi are on the sidewalk by Bette's car, the same extra walks by them twice in ten seconds. Then she magically transforms into a black man when B&J turn toward the car.

...watching this week's episode this morning and had to share something... within the first ten minutes, when Bette and Jodi are on the sidewalk, by Bette's car, talking, the same extra walks by them twice... and as they get into the car, the caucasian woman in khaki's turned into a black man. - fingirl (TWoP 3-17-08 )

The Red and The Black

Reading too much into Jenny's red/black boots,
Bette's episode 510 red/black flannel shirt,
and Tina's red/black elevator panties...


It could be another TLW shoutout to Stendhal.

Think back to 'L Word's first season, and the art reference to the Stendhal syndrome: the rapture that overtakes one whilst embracing an unspeakably beautiful work of art.

Well, Stendhal didn't just faint at paintings. He also wrote books, one of which is (ta-da!) 'The Red and The Black'. This novel (remarkable for 1830) dealt with the turmoil of a young man as his planned life is overturned by his passions. One of the earliest books to delve into human psychology and sexual choices, it contains some disturbing imagery, such as his lover kissing the lips of his severed head at the end. But one of the central themes of the book should be recognizable to all TLW fans: ''Stendhal's novel reveals how any individual's desire for another is always 'mediated' by a third party - put crudely, that we desire something (or someone) because we see that someone else desires that thing.'' Ring any bells?

So perhaps these red/black transformations right in front of our viewing eyes are calling out a deep and meaningful reference, if only our slow wits could be coaxed into following along. Or it could just be that JB picked the red shirt, and Jenny's boots plus Tina's panties are yet more continuity errors to add to TLW's growing pile. Your call.

Real reason for Bette's tears

They're saying 'OMG' and 'Oh No!'
Bette's 510 fashion...

Lez Alert!
...Bette in RED FLANNEL*!

Jenny & Niki in 510

the tent scene
*fyi: link below is R-rated material
{video}

This extended 'love scene' actually reminded me of Alfred Hitchcock.

He was once told he couldn't do a five minute love scene, that it would be 'too long' and he couldn't get away with it - audiences would find it too lengthy and squirm in their seats. Plus the studio execs and the 'standards board' would never go for it, etc.
His reply? 'I can if there's a bomb under the bed.'

That's exactly what this does... we've got the menace of Adele sitting in wait, plus everyone can guess that the camera = trouble.

So even people who don't find the scene hot still stay interested.





Speaking of unexpected videos, here's another:

Jennifer Beals from the 1991 film "Blood and Concrete."

the closed-lip liplock followed by roasting chicken?

Missing Helena (eta: 512 pics)

Can't believe that Rachel Shelley has 'vanished'... its so annoying to have Helena written out in such a fashion. Here's hoping RS found some great gig during her 'sabbatical'.



eta:
mitchelplus reports from Lcon that RS is back for S6!
To celebrate, here's that Helena 'Spy' fan video:

Fun Helena 'Spy' Fan Video






eta: Helena returns! Seeing that 'Our Chumps' photo, I knew as a Helena fan that it was in desperate need of a little photoshopping...

Lightened 509 screenshots.
Bad lighting really kills a scene, yes?...

eta: this comment on TWoP made me laugh, thanks Kufflinks!
I have solved the mystery of Tina's panties!!! They are Mood Panties (like the ring:) They were originally black. Once Bette got Tina all hot and bothered the color changed to red. -Kuff

TWoP notes on 506

(sent via email link)

And why leave at 4am?   No reason to unless Tina lives -really- far up the valley.  Or maybe Jodi needs the extra bucks and has hired out as Angie's nanny and will be there at 5am

*That's a couple of significant things on TLW that have happened at 4am - were IC's twins born at 4am?

I have to admit...when I saw that zoom on the clock after Sex 2, I was terrified that IC had pulled a Pam/Bobby on us and that Tina had dreamed the -bizgirl

Woo, never thought of that - a definite soap opera twist.

Re; Music for sex#2 - such a retread I'm surprised IC didn't underscore it with 'Auld Lang Syne'...  (and re: that Feist song... of all the 1000's of songs in the world, that one wouldn't have made my top 10 for that scene)

We've talked before about the impact that tibette.com et al had/will have on the final outcome of Bette's romantic history... and I've said before that if the Emmy voters had given the trophy to Jodi, or if Jobette was lauded by Hollywood then Jobette would have been the LTR.  But what if the outspoken group was ,say, a bunch of Lisa Gay Hamilton fans that had gotten ahold of the deleted scenes? (Bette's first affair, from s1, cut scene) Would that have had any impact?


Jodi: I have my work. And, most importantly, I have you. So I'll be fine.
 
Fine is definitely not the word Bette's thinking right now.
  It's the right number of letters, though. -Scribe

I definitely didn't see Jodi's resignation coming... seems out-of-character.
(then again, seems Jodi was due for her TLW personality transplant)
Also... how long will it be before Molly happens to remember that as she arrived at Mom's party she saw 'good example' Bette leaving with a blonde who looks nothing like 'Partner Jodi'?...

William: Well, if there's anyone who can take a fragile person and glue them back together, I think that would be you.

Fine, but will all the parts be in the right places? -Scribe  LOL


t&B have their  'matching baggage' line - find in quotes?

Warning: S5 TLW Spoiler set

another set of spoiler pictures, in a video.

*FYI: material in clips is R-rated.


Why is it that I can avoid spoilers that are written out, and I can avoid actual spoiler videos... but I succumb to looking at still pictures? Maybe I just enjoy the challenge of having a puzzle in the form of an image that represents a moment, but without the dialogue to clue me in as to what is actually going on. (Or is it that I can't stand the idea of hearing what could be earworm-dialogue ahead of time?)

TLW references an obscene song?

Hearing KM/Shane continue her line:
''...how old is she - ten?''
disturbed me because I wondered what the hell
TLW was doing referencing an obscene song*
that talks about sexually abusing girls.

I was hoping it was just an accident, yet
privately I was thinking that doing so
was right up EZsomeone's alley...




Updated to add:
And of course EZ penned ep.507,
Bette's 'self-abuse'/'Jodi-abuse' moment.
- How charming.

And speaking of 'charming', below are the
offensive lyrics that Shane seemed to quote:

Absurd Conflict
'Sex For A Few Marks' *

Real sex of your imaginations,
- under your own direction?
Throw away the mask of a satisfied husband,
Gratified by the grey of commonplace sex?
You have money and pleasure can be bought

Sex for a few marks
There is no taboo

The choice is large
To grasp something young
Fragile and naive
Shake by excitement, the passion can't be hidden

You're holding her
She is yours now
Your bloodless brain does not register

You've got only one goal
Delight, pleasure, ecstasy
A total satisfaction at any cost
Who cares about the hell she's going through

You've bought her, the money wipes out all respect
The school girl is yours for a few moments

What do you feel like?
Oral? Anal? Piss or Sado?
She has to submit - You've bought her

You stink of sweat, you gaze into her face,
...how old is she - ten?
Your daughter is the same age
No! No! This is different, you've bought this one
Just like the others

Who cares about who sold her to you
- a brother, a school mate
Or fucking parents
Who cares, you've paid for it,
she's yours...

Be glad if you've never heard this song.
* wouldn't post these openly for obvious reasons
