== Synopsis == | |||
0:30: Kristine McKenna talks about people she thought she couldn't | |||
live without in the past but can now, while there are people she | |||
hasn't gotten over. She talks about 'really being in love', how | |||
powerful it is, how her romances have fared. | |||
6:30: Joe imagines Kate's future lovers, first a wealthy older | |||
Hollywood type, 'Felix Handelsman', who names his yacht after her. | |||
9:30: Joe is tormented by grief at the thought of her, but doesn't | |||
answer her calls or e-mails: he's cut himself off completely from her | |||
but is obsessed with her. | |||
10:50: Joe imagines Kate's next lover is a brilliant young | |||
screen-writer, winner of the biggest advance ever for his first | |||
script, a man so thoughtful and widely-read Kate can learn a lot from | |||
him; compared to him, Joe is a 'retarded schoolboy'. | |||
12:20: Joe imagines Kate's next lover is a champion triathlete, next | |||
to whom Joe is a 'failed physical specimen'. | |||
15:20: Kristine offers her opinion of Joe's relationship with Kate, | |||
whom she hasn't met. | |||
18:00: Kate keeps on e-mailing and calling<ref>Joe must have started | |||
reading and listening to them.</ref> She's worried about him, imagines | |||
terrible things happening to him. She sold her TV show, will get $40K | |||
each for 13 episodes. | |||
21:30: Jack Kornfield quotes some of 1 Corinthians 13:1-9<ref>'Though | |||
I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I | |||
am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal…'</ref> to | |||
introduce a talk about loving-kindness, how much better our lives will | |||
go if we practice it. He mentions Matthew Fox's theory of | |||
'allurement'.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Fox_(priest) Fox] was a curious fellow, a priest the Roman | |||
Catholic church kicked out, switched to the Episcopal church, did a | |||
lot of new-agey things</ref> | |||
26:40: Joe tells of his gay cousin who moved to California to charm 2 | |||
wealthy older women, inherit their money.<ref>Joe's uncle Ben had only | |||
daughters, but his aunt Sonia Spiegel (neé Batschewa Passweg, | |||
Joe's mother's older sister) had a son, Michael, born in 1935. He | |||
ended up in Oregon. I don't know that Joe's story refers to him, or | |||
even if it's real.</ref> This introduces the story of his mother's | |||
hairdresser (Bruce) to whom she pays a lot of attention, goes to a | |||
Mother's Day dinner with him. Joe imagines this fellow hoping to | |||
displace Joe as her heir. | |||
31:30: Joe imagines Bruce and his mother at a café in Mallorca | |||
at a table next to Kate and Felix Handelsman, who become friends. | |||
34:40: Kornfield tells how difficult it is to see sick children. He | |||
tells of a horribly-burnt child, barely recognizable as human. He's | |||
stuck for words. He tells of Mother Theresa asking the prisoners at | |||
San Quention to pray for her. He tells the story of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ishi Ishi], the last | |||
member of the Yahi tribe (California). He says that love is all that matters. | |||
40:20: Kristine says that we want love, tells of her romance with a | |||
man she describes as 'major wreckage', a man with both a wife and a | |||
girlfriend. She knew this guy's faults, had read an article about him | |||
in a magazine years before. He had a brain aneurysm, flew to Houston | |||
(where he lived), went to the hospital, got into bed with him. Before | |||
that he duplicated Edward Weston's photographs with his wife in Death | |||
Valley with Kristine (nude). Kristine says that she got into the | |||
relationship with him because she wanted to escape her life. She says | |||
she experienced incredible happiness with him. | |||
48:20: Joe tells stories from Kate's childhood in Wales. When she was | |||
8 or 9 she attended a dance school, which required a 2-hour bus trip. | |||
Her father would withhold the bus fare until the last minute, then | |||
throw it on the floor. Once a man on the bus ejaculated in her face. | |||
50:40: Joe talks about relationships and the painful memories that | |||
persist after they end. | |||
52:20: Joe nearly faints while driving on San Vincente.<ref>a nice | |||
street on the north edge of Santa Monica; Joe seems to live north of | |||
Montana (another street in Santa Monica), which divides the wealthy | |||
from the riff-raff (including me)</ref> When he gets home, Kate's | |||
left a message (from Rome, working on a show) on his machine: she | |||
wants him to call her machine to leave her a message just so she can | |||
hear her voice. Joe wonders what will happen next. | |||
54:00: Kornfield leads a loving-kindness meditation.<ref>backed by | |||
Rinôçérôse's '323 Secondes De Musique | |||
Repetitive', music I find at odds with the mood of the | |||
meditation.</ref> | |||
