Did you know this bitch wrote all of her books while standing?!

Is this the same bitch that drowned herself in her backyard?!

ummm... I certainly hope that u don't find it appropriate or appealing to call women bitches...especially if u r one. Perhaps u can spend the same amount of time checking out her bio on the net as u spent posting this thread, eh?. that may help.

i dunno, but "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Wolf" is one kick-ass fucking movie, and Elizabeth Taylor will blow you out of your seat

Who you callin' a BITCH?!...

--Queen Latifah

I see the level of maturity of those who will post on this thread is very, very low. such is to be expected, eh? I will not fight with you about anything,so try again. I think it is innaprpriate to call women bitches and do not see the point in demeaning such a woman as Virginia Woolf

Maybe you should spend the same amount of time re-reading the post, as it is obvious I'm not serious

hi ALT Love ya.

AaronAlmighty said:

I never saw that movie, but I saw "The Hours." was the one with Elizabeth Taylor actually about Virginia Woolf?

is it obvious?

As many people who use the word bitch on this site, I think it is unmerited in you calling me out for saying it in this one thread. Perhaps, I should have spelled it beeyatch. Would that have been better?

perhaps...carry on. rattle amoungst your friends. I am not a forum dweller. I merely saw Virginia Woolf, so I clicked on it thinking it was something intelligent. I should have known better, i suppose. excuse me for being offended. I guess that's the way one addresses a woman where u r from. who knows.

Very interesting lady. My favorite is "Orlando."

As an aside, I've heard that Ernest Hemmingway also wrote his works standing up.

dianne34 said:

Oh my goodness. If I find it a bit odd that someone writes complete novels standing up, then I will say "that bitch" or "this bitch." It is a bit odd to me and no, I do not go around addressing women that way on a regular basis. Another thing, it must feel good for you to amplify yourself as if you're above someone and "where you're from" is better because of course nobody says the word "bitch" where you're from, right? You know nothing about my intelligence

And I am bitch sometimes:
I hate the world today
You're so good to me
I know but I can't change
Tried to tell you
But you look at me like maybe
I'm an angel underneath
Innocent and sweet
Yesterday I cried
Must have been relieved to see
The softer side
I can understand how you'd be so confused
I don't envy you
I'm a little bit of everything
All rolled into one

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between
You know you wouldn't want it any other way

So take me as I am
This may mean
You'll have to be a stronger man
Rest assured that
When I start to make you nervous
And I'm going to extremes
Tomorrow I will change
And today won't mean a thing

Just when you think, you got me figured out
The season's already changing
I think it's cool, you do what you do
And don't try to save me

I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive
You know I wouldn't want it any other way

Really? That's interesting. I write and I don't do it standing up. I didn't read Orlando, but I saw the film. Very good film. I'm assuming the film is based on the book...

...And, yes, this is the same woman who drowned herself.

Janfriend said:

The film is based on the book, though it took a few creative departures.

The book was actually written as a biography, but many Woolf scholars see it as a veiled "love letter" to one of her female crushes.

Janfriend said:

no, i don't think so... unless she was the daughter of a college president (or something)... but i think her character is named Virginia Wolf... and it just reminded me of it. sorry for getting off topic.

Lammastide said:

I loved Orlando ( I saw the movie) I didn't know she wrote it. I may get the book now.

I was given a book she wrote then one on her life. I haven't had the time to read them yet! The point was for me to see what was the point of her. (This individual said it was the first book she could care less about the characters and or finding out how they ended up. )

Did you see "The Hours?"

Janfriend said:

No I haven't. Good?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

Well, it felt like hours and hours and hours. Fitting title...

Janfriend said:

As my girlfriend feels!

If you only ever read one book by Virginia Woolf you should
read "To The Lighthouse".

I read all of her books and some of her essays and I found
"To The Lighthouse" to be the most endearing and lifelike
of the bunch.

Although "Mrs Dalloway" is quite a good one too. It's just
a subject I couldn't really get to deeply into.

I cringed when I heard they did a movie on her [The Hours]
because I thought "Oh no, now we're gonna have reprints &
everyone's gonna all of a sudden be into Ms Woolf and it
will totally suck".

But thank god, it didn't get to that. I guess today's
market just can't stomach classical. They'd rather go
see the movie or listen to the audio-book.

i'm making it a habit out of agreeing with Aaron. hmm...

AaronAlmighty said:

no, "who's afraid of virigina woolf" has nothing to do with virigina, but is one of the better plays and movies of the last century.

Janfriend said:

Yes, she is the writer that drowned herself. She was an amazing writer, but she had some serious mental problems. Nicole Kidman played her perfectly in The Hours!

dianne34 said:

hi!

not to discourage you, but save your anger... several of us, myself included, have tried to curb some of the rampant sexism that sometimes occurs around this site, and to no avail.

The movie kicks ass. The play -- pheeewww!!! It's brutal. My coach played Martha a couple of years ago and tore it up.
