Will You see Gibson's "The Passion"?

[mburbank]

I bet carrying around the desade books made you a very popular young lady with the literary crowd.

I'm a fan of the grotesque, but I don't care for Desade, or the story of O for that matter, which is like Desade with vaseline on the lens. After the five hundreth anal pillaging I just can't care.

Some fine films have been made about desade, though. I haven't seen Quills, but heard it was good, and both the play and film "The Death of Marat as peformed by the inmates of the whatever insane asylum and direct by the Marquis Desade" are excellent.

I think Desade and Gibson (though neither would care to embrace the other I'm sure) have a shared interest in the beauty of suffering. I'm not put off, but neither doe it do anything for me.
