Carole, Actress: “Wait a minute, I’m sensing something.”
Robert, Actor: “And I’m sensing that you’re straddling my crotch with malevolent intent. Not that I mind.”
Carole: “No, it goes beyond our crude attempt to get past the censors with suggestive but benign foreplay. It seems that a writer of some kind is trying to make this scene more interesting than it really is.”
Robert: “I’m not sure what you mean. Perhaps I could better understand your ramblings if this photo wasn’t so fuzzy.”
Carole: “You’re right, it’s not clear, probably because it’s been too long since I had a juice cleanse. You really have to keep on top of those things. Hold on. The writer seems intent on creating dialogue that never happened.”
Robert: “Oh, I know who you’re talking about. That writer lives at Bonnywood Manor. He really doesn’t get out much so you can’t trust a single thing he types.”
Carole: “So you’re saying that I should just ignore him?”
Robert: “Of course. Everyone else does. Did you ever hear of Bonnywood Manor before this scene?”
Carole: “No, not that I recall.”
Robert: “My point exactly. Some people don’t understand that being subversive and witty doesn’t necessarily sell movies.”
Alfred Hitchcock, Director: “Excuse me?”

Bonnywood Manor 
Forget the blurry cinematography, they both have focus issues; he’s got the dull-eyed vacant stare, she’s a girl with the faraway eyes. Could be due to Method acting, could be the bottle of full-proof Tanqueray they knocked back before the director called ‘Action!’

Or perhaps these two were just TIRED, as back in that day actors made 15 movies a year without pause, whilst in the current day an actor MIGHT make one movie every two years…
But in the end, I’m still voting for Tanqueray…

Since I’m precaffeinated I’m a little fuzzy, like the shot.
All I could come up with is a comparison between the two movies of the same title.
Carole could have a psychic vision of Brad & Angelina while Robert appears to only care about the straddling🤷🏼♀️
Maybe inspiration is waiting in my first cuppa☕☕☕🤷🏼♀️

Actually, that’s great idea. I could have Angelina and Brad doing modern speak whilst appearing as Carole and Robert in The Then. But I’m fairly certain the picture will still be fuzzy… 😉

Is that the movie with Brad and Angelina? The one that launched the relationship on which a thousand paparazzi careers were built? Oops. Re-make. Wrong century.

Really, though, it’s essentially the same thing, despite the decades between the two versions: Popular stars of the time frolic about and most everyone is more concerned about the off-screen dynamics rather than the plot. Such is the way of American politics…

Agreed. I have always created my own entertainment, much to the confusion of most family members who can’t understand how I can function without human interaction… 😉
