Tenessee Williams

...just watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I have never read the book....is Maggie actually pregnant? I never realised how beautiful Liz Taylor was. Is Brick Gay? Whay are the parnets called "big"? Not just Daddy and Momma?

Loved the film. I understand Tenessee Williams did not.

It's a Southern thing, y'all.

Paul Newman was beautiful too. I never considered Brick as gay, just spoiled as hell (like most Southern men!)

i've never seen the film either but where i'm from, "big daddy" and "big momma" are what you call the oldest male and female in your family. anyone close to your family, that is an adult, is either an aunt or an uncle to all the kids and if you're raised with a large group of children, they're all your cousins, even though you're not related to them at all. I have no idea why this is so, but it might be that "it takes a village" thing.

btw clank, dolly got a new ride at her theme park and i want to go visit it this summer but i don't think it'll happen.

Forget Liz . . .Paul Newman. In his prime and an absolute hunk of a man
