Song Cate Blanchett Is Fit (But My Gosh Don’t She Just Know It)
posted by on January 23 at 8:16 AM
Cate Blanchett has been added to the very short list of women I would bang. (Yes, Schmader and Savage, I can imagine having sex with a woman, but I’ve never done it. Sanders, you’re with me, right? Cate Blanchett?) Mudede is right; she is spectacularly beautiful in Notes on a Scandal, the sort of beautiful that just makes everything else not matter. (And that makes Judi Dench look like a linty potato.) Which is perfect for the movie—again, Mudede is right, the movie is great—because her beauty is the thriller’s engine, the central problem.
And buried in the middle of the movie there’s a reference to the Streets. Blanchett is getting banged by one of her high school students in a railway yard, or she just got banged in the railway yard, or she’s about to get banged in the railway yard, when the student—he’s 15, she’s more than twice his age—says, “I think you’re right fit,” and Blanchett says, without missing a beat, “Yeah, but don’t I just know it?”
It sent me right back to 2004. Here, to go with your coffee, is the video for “Fit But You Know It.” Not a bad morning song to get stuck in your head. Plus, dude’s hot.
