The 90's

The theory is that Brittany Murphy is trying to channel Marilyn Monroe, but as I watched "Uptown Girls," another name came to mind: Lucille Ball. Murphy has a kind of divine ineptitude that moves beyond Marilyn's helplessness into Lucy's dizzy lovability. She is like a magnet for whoops! moments.

I remember her as a presenter at the 2003 Independent Spirit Awards, where her assignment was to read the names of five nominees, open an envelope and read the winner. This she was unable to do, despite two visits by a stage manager who whispered helpful suggestions into her ear. She kept trying to read every nominee as the winner, and when she finally arrived triumphantly at the real winner, she inspired no confidence that she had it right.

Some thought she was completely clueless, or worse. I studied her timing and speculated that she knew exactly what she was doing, and that while it took no skill at all to get it right, it took a certain genius to get it so perfectly wrong. She succeeded in capturing the attention of every person in that distracted and chattering crowd, and I recalled "Lucy" shows where everyone in a restaurant would suddenly be looking at her.

Hell yeah. Najjači PRO-DRUGS film dobiva nastavak. Eh, kad se samo setim. April 1997. godine, taman se završio onaj suludi studentski protest, ja taze na đonovima, pa iš'o sam da ga gledam bar jedno 10 puta ako ne i jače, i svaki put me pičio isti rad. Gledaš film nako zgudran a sve ti nešto toplo oko srca i prolaze te žmarci jer vidiš da je zapravo skroz OK drogirati se, čak u neku ruku i popularno, jer ceo fazon u filmu, sva ona gotivna muzika te nekako uvuče u taj trip, iako ti navodno poručuje kako je droga zlo i nedobog. Tačno isti sindrom kao kod čitanja knjige "Mi, djeca s kolodvora Zoo". Pa bre meni gudra nije pala na pamet dok nisam pročito tu knjigu, i to je bukvalno jedina knjiga koju sam pročitao za samo jedan dan. Umesto da te odvrati od gudre i svih tih sranja, ona te zapravo zainteresuje i oćeš da pukneš dok ne probaš kako to u stvarnosti izgleda. Sećam se da su tih meseci u Omenu i tako tim malim klubovima jako često puštali soundtrack iz filma, sve se nekako poklopilo, i prva ko fol prava ljubav i sve, ma divota jedna. Kupim guaranu, spičim tablu trodona i skroz solo u Kinoteku jer su tamo bile jeftine karte. Sedim sam, bioskop prazan, gledam film i prosto se topim, a sve u sebi razmišljam, jbte kako sam ja prokleto kul, gudram se i radim iste stvari ko ove opake face na filmu. Bio sam zaljubljen u onu klinku što je navatala Rentona, Spad mi bio najgotivniji i naravno legendarni Frenko Begbi. I dan danas pamtim te citate iz filma, al' najače mi ono: "And that's your theory?" na tom njihovom suludom akcentu. Taj film mi bukvalno stvorio trip u glavi da smo mi koji se gudramo zapravo bolji od tzv. običnih ljudi, nekako superiorniji, doduše ja sam bio samo na đonovima, ali to je to u principu, zar ne? Eh, šta bi dao da se vratim u ta vremena kad sam imao 70 kila i krdo riba se ložilo na moj vitki stas...a mene zabole.
