The Franco File
Ever wonder what people are thinking when they pluck down some change for a movie? I sure do. You have to wonder sometimes about what it is that motivates people. People and the things they do will set you to scratching your head faster than any other thing.
Wondering about it I realized the best I can do is to try and understand my own aesthetic in choosing media. Films, books, videos, what channels I watch when the tellie is on. What do I pour into my brain? Of course it's easier to talk about this when you're thinking about other people. Maybe it's easier to observe from outside. To understand what someone else is doing. What choices they make. This doesn't make it any easier to understand though.
For instance, it seems pretty clear that ANY kind of french ANYTHING wags Denise. Observing this and saying it doesn't make it easy to understand what motivates her in this obsession. Easy to observe, difficult to understand. I wonder if asking her would shed any light on the subject. Similarly, I wonder if asking my friends about their perception of my aesthetic would help to shed any light on it. Would knowing how other's perceive my choices help me understand why I make them? It's an interesting question. I think the answer is probably yes.
Is it me or do the french get away with stuff that people elsewhere cannot? For instance:
"dude... that's porn"
"no, it's french!"
"oh, that's ok then".
