Giant Angry Closet Vagina
We watched Poltergeist a few nights ago. We felt it's held up pretty good over the years. It's still scary. Of course we're so old that people driving over 35 scare us. Some of the effects are dated but the performances make up for them. I'm not academically inclined but I bet there have been a few feminist papers written about the giant angry closet vagina that sucks JoBeth Williams into the abyss with Satan. To top it off, it spits her and her daughter out the living room ceiling covered in goo that would make the KY Jelly Corporation wet with excitement.Hmm, maybe I'll go to graduate school and write about the misogynistic themes of Poltergeist. The haunting starts off with a funny, tingling feeling (love) in the stomach and ends with a giant vagina sucking you into the abyss. The movie equates sex and love with being haunted. That's the scary part. Thank God there are midgets here to save us.

Great to have you back. I've missed your sense of humor. Any one who blogs from the "Driftglassian" side of the spectrum, is welcome in my head any time!
Interesting blog with a lot of resources and detailed explanations.
