Late last night I was watching a lengthy television
interrogation of Roman Polanski by some high-pitched,
intense Scots cinemaste whose name I didn't catch.
It was hilarious. Identifying as I do, naturally,
with megarhinic midgets rather than solemn
Scotsmen, my sympathies were all with the little
Pole. Wearily, infinitely polite, he tried to divert
the insistent attempts by this chap to attach symbolic
meaning to his films - with varied repetitions of:
'Honestly, I was just trying to make an entertaining
movie.'
My compatriot was unappeasable, though. It continued
for an hour, me wondering all the while when Polanski
was finally going to snap & take a bite out of his ankle.
They sure hadn't reached that interspecial understanding
of owl & pussycat.
When the feet came marching onto the list about
a year ago I think my Scots friend must have been one
of the pseudonymous contributors. At that time,
as I remember, there was a very great deal of discussion
of feet as roots, as stabilisers, as God knows what (though
no Freudian had the nerve to pronounce on the psycho
dynamics of the foot as fetish.) I can't think any conclusion
was reached.
For me, Seymour's remark is simply a teasing version
of the soccer thug's 'Hooyoolookinatthen?' - just
before he comes over to give you a Glasgow kiss.
