Spy 4

Rayna Boyanov is the name of the daughter of the nuclear arms dealer. I like Australian actresses. They really have alot of grit and talent. This actress gets the alcoholic right. There are many portrayals of alcoholics that are way off the mark. The scene in which Rayna Boyanov and her bodyguards and Cooper are airborne on a private plane, Rayna is still searching for her drink even when gravity is going bonkers. She ends up in a mena ja stack with her bodyguards. After she gets out of the mena ja stack, she wants her drink. Superb!

Looking back at some of my writing, my fantasy, persona poems and story stories in which I become a fantasy character, I really can't believe what I wrote. As a Christian, I feel ashamed of them and I atone for my sin in writing them. My modus operandi back then was three beers in the morning, the third step prayer, then a prayer to God then the writing of the poem or story.

BACK AT THE FILM: The built-in-forgetter of alcoholics is definitely portrayed in the film. Cooper seems to be the only one who remembers anything. When she remembers, you can see a visual cue on her face. Rayna, for an arms dealer's daughter, seems to trust no one unless someone uses alot of f- words and sprays the curses like bugspray. The f--- word itself is a forgetting mechanism, an empty signifier in which meaning has become a "totality." IF all words are a form of seduction, the f--- word is the ultimate source of frustration as absence, as negation, a double negation which signifies power as unknown and decentralized, then, nothing means anything.
