This is so disgusting.

She was Carrie Wexlerâs best friend, but she barely mentions her here.

What happened to the letters?! Did she finally publish them?

Is it just me, or is this a straight-up star fucking/sleep your way up story? Yay, feminism. Not.
Limpidpools â Mouchette 12:40 am
Like you said, disgusting.
Mouchette â Limpidpools 12:41 am
I meant a teenager sleeping with an old obese man. And calling that a âlove story.â Call it whatever you want. Itâs just sad.

Nice to be so judgey about a great artist. Yay, female solidarity.

Who says I am a woman. #feminismfail

She has never published them. She also stopped making films a few years ago. She had some sort of breakdown.

I want to read the letters. I wonder if she will publish them now that she has told everyone about this relationship. I wouldnât be surprised if this was a setup for an announcement of a publishing deal.

So cynical! Donât you think the point of this is that she doesnât plan onexploiting the letters? That she got what she got on her own. His help to her was inspiration. What she did is unrelated to the famous boyfriend.

I didnât believe it until I saw this with my own eyes! I work from home and make $1050 a week doing easy transcription and data entry. Go to www.workfromhome.com and stop struggling.

If you like Meadow Moriâs films, you should check out theendpoint dot net. We aggregate nonfiction and essay films that spotlight the struggle against corporate imperialism and environmental degradation. Many important documentaries all streamed for free.
RitaHayworth 3:30 pm
So she fucked Orson Welles. Who hasnât?
Rulalenska 3:37 pm
What happened with Carrie Wexler?
IrrealisMood â RitaHayworth 3:38 pm
You are killing me Rita. I laughed so hard I almost choked when I read this.
Canyouhearmenow â Rulalenska 3:39 pm
They donât speak because Wexler screwed her over. Neither Mori or Wexler will discuss it.
Limpidpools 3:45 pm
She hardly followed in his footsteps. Making those horrible films. Those distortive, pretentious documentaries. She is a tasteless, self-righteous defender of monsters. And it turns out she is the biggest woman-in-Hollywood cliché of all . . . expand comment to read more

I love when the mens start explaining how feminism works to the womens. Thank you. Whatever origins Mori has had, she came to be a fascinating artist. Why is it that only men get to have colorful pasts?
Limpidpools â deranger 3:51 pm
Men canât have opinions about female behavior, huh? Well the jokes on you, since I am actually a woman.

The Children of the Disappeared is an incredible film.
rookiemistake 4:00 pm
I wonder why she never re-enacted Citizen Kane?
dogyears â Limpidpools 4:02 pm
No one cares if you are a man or a woman because you are simply a troll. #dontfeedthetroll

People, I am calling BS on this whole essay. Welles famously lived and died on Stanley Avenue in Hollywood, not in Brentwood. Everybody knows that. Even the death date is off. She is pulling your chain.

JELLY AND JACK
1985
Jelly picked up the handset of her pink plastic Trimline phone and the dial tone hummed into her ear. She tilted the earpiece slightly away from her, and she heard the sad buzz of a distant sound seeking a listener. How many times had she fallen asleep after she said
