Changing Perceptions: The Trouble with Memories...
As now is as good a time as any to get back to a more regular mode of posting, here are some thoughts from a comment I originally left in ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
selenak's journal this morning:
On Liz Taylor:
You know, for most of what I tend to call my "adult film watching life" (which must have started around the time I was thirteen) I have always struggled with that oddly janus-faced image I have of Elizabeth Taylor. One face being that of the heavily made-up matron appearing in all those horrible 1980s yellow press magazines lying around at my grandmother's home, and the other face that of the radiant, highly talented actress. The first movie I ever saw Taylor in was Giant, which of course features that immensely powerful scene when Taylor's character, a New England society girl, first lays eyes on the profitable but barren-looking ranch of her newly-made Texan husband.
On *cough, ahem* ST: VoyagerI never thought I would openly admit my latest addiction
You guys wouldn't by any chance know where to start looking for read-worthy ST: Voyager fanfic? After finishing our DS9 marathon, Cavendish and I have moved straight on to Voyager (season 5, by now). And while I never thought I would say this, both the individual characters and the plot lines have grown on me. Altogether a much better show than I remembered it to be. Maybe I'm getting mellow with age. *g*
