We saw a movie last night called Women in Love. It was weird as hell. Some parts were really good, but some parts were dragged out and heavy-handed. There was one part where this man gave an explanation of how to eat a fig. A fig! The way he said it was so vile and nasty, but really funny. Lots of really thinly veiled double meanings and stuff. Really well done.
Kenneth Gibson was elected the first black mayor of Newark yesterday. He was supported by LeRoi Jones and the folks at Spirit House. The Newark Negroes are pretty glad, but the Mafia is pissed off. I hope that is not going to be a big hassle with all that mess! That is my political note for the day.
But, back to the movie. It had all these really corny scenes of romantic love. I object to that in movies because I think that it messes people up in real relationships. They always want to make a pretty picture, never reality. It always has to be like the movies. But other parts of the movie included really raunchy love scenes and they were just as awkward and messy as real life can be, but the realness was overshadowed in certain sections by the romantic thing. I mean, running nude through the grass and all that! A real drag. Not believable.
Kris is having her baby in about another four days. I hope she is all right and the kid is all right and that she will come for a visit in August!
