Good night, Cubao!

Still watching a typically-set-and-prop-heavy Ken Russell. No computer graphics.

I also haven't seen Glenda Jackson on the screen in a long time.

People do not see what I see, but, in retrospect, it seems that Ken Russell's career came to a halt for the following reasons:

--His productions were too expensive.
--There is, in his films, an apparent disrespect for women's bodies. His treatment of Glenda Jackson is the prime illustration of this. Whenever I watch Glenda Jackson's films I cannot see a real woman in front of me. I cannot tell, as a matter of fact, what her true gender is.
