Missy Jubilee 213 CAMEL

Scrip Review of Film no. 213 CAMEL

By Alan Rogers in London I used to work with someone who lamented time between beers by saying ‘A man is not a camel’. A very different inference to your analogy. The reference to ‘Snitch’ (Notes from a Funeral) first had me puzzled. I tried to find these plausible titles to no avail. I was […]

Script Review CHRONOSTATIC ILLUSION

Sometimes I feel caught in a incongruity. I am acutely aware of the absurdity of trying to explain how considerate I am, as a male living in the Information Age; Sensitive to the tide of sexist bullshit that flows over the waterfall of modern media. Tik-tok-ing its abstract behavioural expectations into the impressionable minds of the young. In the same instant I unzip my flies to the seedy underbelly of the internet. Hypocritical? Moi?

Missy Jubilee 210 LSD

‘LSD’ Script Review

Marriage is a strange institution. Moulded more by influence of the church than by the practitioner. It ties two people together in an established society. For better, or for worse.

The reason marriages fail. If I may be so bold as to offer further opinion; is that the goal of marriage is often confused. Some people think it is about sex. To some it may be, but in reality, sexual drive is a young persons domain, and marriages are meant to last a lifetime; so I don’t really think sex is a reason for marriage. Some people think it is about love. But love can be as ungraspable as the mist. It is there, sure, but what does it mean? To some it is about companionship, supposing that good friends and family mean nothing compared with someone you have legally committed to.

Missy Jubilee 209 PAVLOVS WHORE

Pavlov’s Whore Script Review

Living in the UK means (and particularly London) you stumble upon Banksy’s now and then. Earlier this year I found one whilst walking round a headland on the Essex coast between Harwich (the English coastal town where the Mayflower was built) and Dovercourt (where it wasn’t), just along the peninsula. There, at a popular fishing spot was an unmistakable Banksy (he never signs his work) showing a boy with a fishing rod having caught a covid mask on the end of it.

Missy Jubilee 208 AMAREVITAE

AMAREVITAE Script Review

I think this film will resonate with many people. Perfection is rare enough for us to treasure it when we see it. There is a line in the film ‘Nine and a half weeks’ where Michael (Rourke) says to Elizabeth (Bassinger) (who is dressed as a man with a false moustache), something like, I’ve got this girl. She has the most perfect heart shaped ass’. I am paraphrasing but you get the gist. Elizabeth snorts into her beer but we know what he means

Missy Jubilee 207 KARNAL

KARNAL Script Review

Today I learned about the death of fellow antipodean, Uncle Rolf (Harris). He died (apparently) at his home in Berkshire in the beautiful village of Bray. A long way from his birthplace of Bassendean near Perth. What surprised me though, was that I didn’t know they had let him out

Missy Jubilee X46 THE GRIM HUSTLE

The Grim Hustle Script Review

There are are huge injustices in this world. One thing we cannot do is fight them all. We have to sweat the small stuff, and hope the bigger stuff takes care of itself.

I am reading a book by self confessed leather dyke; Pat Califa called ‘Public Sex’. It was written in the era of Aids and was a humane effort to bring to light how politicians and law enforcement agencies spent far too much effort and resource trying to discredit, and if possible arrest anyone performing anything other than vanilla heterosexual sex behind closed doors as a means of stopping the disease,
when empathy, free condoms, and free needles would have gone far further and cost less.

Missy Jubilee 205 TRASH

TRASH Script Review

There are moments in everyone’s life, when we start to take stock. To re-evaluate where we have
travelled (so far) on this journey of life, and to mentally review our past.

This can happen as soon as late twenties for some people, and as late as deaths door for others.

I believe that this projekt has invoked a number of instances of Missy style navel gazing, and this film strikes me as an example.

Missy Jubilee 204 CHOPPER

CHOPPER Script Review

The film opens with a shot of a room with an old black and white cathode ray television in it. The room is unlit except by the television. We see a man with a moustache on television. He is talking. We can assume this is ‘Chopper’. He says: “Well…I mean…humanity doesn’t like me…that’s why I was sitting in here talking…i’m a bloody freak show” Cut to black and white professionally lit shot of the man. He moves his hand down out of shot, it gives the impression he is lowering a cigarette. The video is slowed. We notice he has a lot of tattoos.

Narrator talking:
“The film is really about narcissistic rage. Paranoia. And, I suppose, extreme psychological damage”. Silence and black screen.

Missy Jubilee 203 EYE WIDE OPEN 1

EYE WIDE OPEN Script Review

There has been so many words, written by educated people with far more experience than I, on the subject of love. I can hardly add more than my narrow minded white British male opinion. But somehow I feel compelled to give it, so here it is – ‘Love’ is a noun to describe a suite of emotions. A scale. I look upon it like the word ‘Colour’; on its own it is meaningless. The word can describe anything from ‘like’, to ‘obsession’.

Missy Jubilee 202 SEXXXTORTION

SEXXXTORTION script review

Clearly a word play on extortion (noun): ‘the act of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats.’ The journey you have catalogued (in your 200 plus films) contain many bumps in the road. You appeared to set out to tell the story of a sexual revolutionist. But you have been interrupted rudely at times, and quite rightly feel strongly enough to take the odd detour off of that roadmap.

Missy Jubilee 201 KINKY FUCKERY POSTER

Kinky Fuckery Script Review

Sexual compatibility is a learned behaviour in marriage. Something you can not test for.’ So says Laura M Brotherson, author of ‘They were not Ashamed: Strengthening Marriage through Sexual Fulfilment.

There are exceptions of course. Always.

Missy Jubilee 154 THE MADNESS OF CHOICES film poster

MADNESS OF CHOICES Script Review

The opening is a short essay by Charles Bukowski entitled ‘My Madness’. I prefer the lyricalism of Betjeman personally, but I like Bukowski’s grittiness. He types with nicotine stained fingers. I imagine him in a similar way to how Henry Miller was portrayed in ‘Henry and June’.

Missy Jubilee 200 BEAST ASSEMBLE 00 00 05 18 Still011

Script review BEAST

A return to your ‘horror’ theme; for further watching I recommend 7 Letters, Monster, Maneater, and Psycho. Plus numerous others that invoke peril and dread such as The Hell Mask, I like em dropped (dead) and Bad Mthrfckr. 

I re-watched ‘Mutant Santa’ thinking it would also be horror, but it is (instead) a very well reasoned treatise on the fact that age does not equate wisdom. No horror there despite the title.

Missy Jubilee 197 GOOD LUCK MR GORSKI 00 24 41 13 Still012

‘Good Luck Mr Gorsky’ Script Review

I am 12 or 13 years old and in laying on our tiled bathroom floor naked. I had just got out of a bath and the room is steamy and I am wet.

I decide now is a good time to see if I can crane my neck far enough to fit my penis into my mouth. I believe most boys attempt this (Auto-fellatio). It is back breaking work, but I manage it.

Film release poster Missy Jubilee 190 THE BLACKEST HOLE

The Blackest Hole Script Review

There is a wide belief that men on average think about sex every 7 seconds. It is, of course, bollocks. My theory is that nearly all men never stop thinking about sex. I suspect women do not either, although I accept that the difference in attitudes to sex mean that the thoughts vary wildly from person to person. And of course, not being born with a woman’s mind, mean that I cannot possibly hope to interpret the neural patterns behind the bangs.

Mullum99 Script Review

Producer Alan Rogers reviews the script for Missy Jubilee’s 193rd film ‘Mullum99 – ‘It is a measure of age that I still think of 1999 as not that long ago. It feels like yesterday. I throw myself into that plunge pool of memories. I bathe in a frenzied slideshow of thoughts’
