"exactly! mm and jsw have that irrisistably
'quaint' englishness about them, which is definately a
factor in their brilliance. i personally can't wait to
see american and oriental takes on editing, although
i doubt it would affect the actual design of the
screens, filtering in more through the room names, choice
of locations or cultural references
perhaps?"
Indeed. The American stance would be interesting, given
the difference between English and US sensibilities
(for example we're much more into irony as a nation -
America tends not to understand it, hence their failure
to "get" the Robbie Williams concept). Dunno about
an Oriental standpoint tho'
"my reason (for
what it's worth, and since you brought it up) is
because i identify as transgendered - psychologically i
am somewhere inbetween male and female, which to be
truthfull gets a bit confusing (especially in a society so
utterly obsessed by compartmentalisation) but i suppose
it gives me a unique outlook on life (jet set willy
included ;)"
I figured something like that, based
on the cool links in your profile. I respect that -
normality sucks ass!
"agree. anyone would have
thought this was a porn club :> "
It's NOT!!!??
What the Hell am I doing here then?
