Painful Strains

The weekend was tough on Jac. It began with a wait, loooooong wait for the truck with the movers to arrive to the agreed upon corner. The driver kept saying for the best part of an hour that he was right around the corner.

Well, it finally arrived to the corner where Jac and Erix were waiting, under the hot sun of the Andes, not a cloud around. Erix was pissed off, he had a hangover from partying the night before and he was not in the mood for Bolivian time, which is not as bad as Haitian time. But it is bad for people who expect that 2 O’clock sharp, means 2 O’clock, not 3, or 4 or whatever…

Then the move began. The movers filled up the truck and off they went, with Jac and Erix squeezed in the cabin, next to the driver, for the long and winding road to Jac’s house.

**Unloading the truck as seen from Jac’s window. Is it half full? Half empty?**

Two young and strong movers took the furniture all the way up to the third floor, Jac received each piece and moved it around the third floor, accommodating each piece of furniture according wherever there was a bit of space.

Before the movers were half way done, they asked for double the amount they agreed upon or else they won’t bring any other piece of furniture up. Jac thought that it was fair. It was a tough job, they deserved it.

When everything was said and done and after paying twice as much as he was prepared to do, Jac had the furniture he had been planning to move for the last three years. The furniture was his father’s, who had an office/apartment in a building and when he moved to another city, the furniture was taken to Jac’s cousin’s house to store it. A big empty house that is in the market for the last I don’t know how many years. The furniture is finally in Jac’s house.

Jac kept moving things around until dinner time and he left a lot more to do for the next day.

That night, when Jac went to bed, he felt some discomfort, almost painful discomfort in areas where he never experienced that kind of sensation before. He had a hard time sleeping because the discomfort he felt was in an area where when things go wrong it means it could be nothing or something really serious, even deadly.

So, when he got up in the morning he consulted his brilliant advisors as to what he was feeling and he was told that it appears that he had a groin strain, maybe an injury or tear to any of the adductor muscles of the thigh. These are the muscles on the inner side of the thigh and so the pain manifests right where Jac felt it.

He learned that it is common in athletes that do a lot of kicking and jumping and twisting and that it could happen when lifting heavy things without proper methods. Which in his enthusiasm he probably did.

It was recommended that he rested for a couple of days, but instead he went on to move everything he could.

**The new couches all covered up to prevent the cats from scratching them, at least for a few days.**

With the move of the furniture a big part of the production for 69 Année Érotique was successfully accomplished. When all the details of the decor are completed, the production of the film will be a lot closer. There are some details still to get done, like working out the make up, costumes, close the dates with the outside locations, and so on. Not to mention get all the props, which includes a violin for Mila, who plays the same character she played in Pygmalion, Vera, who in the film is trained by Hendrix (Jac) to become Eliza, who herself is trained by Higgins to become a sophisticated lady, so the story goes.

In this film, Vera gets a demanding role in Hendrix erotically bizarre version of Jekyll And Hyde. Vera will play Mary Reilly, the faithful assistant of the famous Dr. Jekyll. Mary also plays the violin in an all female goth band on weekends.

The set for Hendrix scenes will be decorated during this week, the cast will rehearse some critical scenes, like the one where Galatea, played by Simonne, appears, as a ghost from the past next to Hendrix (Jac) who is blowing a candle on a piece of cake. It is his birthday and he is all alone, except for the cats.

Galatea was Hendrix’ girlfriend in 1969 and she appears next to him as she was, dressed like a hippie, which she was, singing a song from that most memorable year, ’69 Année Érotique.

The little bit of that song that will appear in the movie will be a homage to a clip Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birking recorded in … 1969. In the scene, Jac and Simonne sing to each other, like Serge and Jane did way back in the days of exciting and controversial erotism in films and music.

The clip will be in the VIP Patron level of our Patreon site for our faithful supporters to view and enjoy with a nice comment about the experience of making the clip and some additional updates on the progress of the Seditiosa film. The update will be part of a post on whether there will be a trial in the film.

The rehearsals for 69 Année Érotique will not affect Jac’s intense work producing the pitch for Seditiosa. He has most of the elements ready for the video, he already edited most of it, but he still needs to record a a comment or two with Simonne, who was away when Dani and Mila did their part.

Simonne was in a different city for a few days where she was invited to participate in a Miss Bolivia pageant, I think, so there were some pictures to be taken, some dancing to be done, some strolling on a stage to perform.

Jac will use the newly decorated set for the rehearsal of a couple of scenes, and to also record some pitching for Seditiosa by Simonne, she might refer in her comment to the five loaves of bread and the fish that fed hundreds. She is, after all, the miracle worker in the film. Does she resurrect the dead as well?

Please forgive me for mentioning one last detail that I neglected to earlier. It is my view that the legs be nailed by the feet to a small foot rest, in front of the cross. Legs crossed looks nice, one nail through both feet. Although side by side is good too, a nail per foot. But to nail by the heels to the sides of the cross just looks awkward and unsexy. That is my opinion anyway.
Crucified Life

One of the issues that keep Jac awake at nights is the nailing of the feet. Well, maybe I’m exagerating, I think what kept Jac awake at night all these years was his mattress which he recently replaced, so all those sleepless nights when he could concentrate on such details, might be over. However, what I had a chance to gather from the different talks he has with the future crucified ladies is that he’s planning or considering three different ways of nailing the feet. How the women’s feet will be nailed will be according to what the torturers think they deserve.

In CruXtreme III, for instance, Dani’s feet are nailed spread apart on a long piece of wood. Maybe she misses that position.

You took the words right out of my mouth. The story in the first movie ever with a Female Christ Theme in the entire known universe will have the kind of compelling dialogues that will make the amazingly strong images even stronger.

We are going to be sharing some of the rehearsals with the dialogues with our supporters… and not only the dialogues, we’ll share some of the rehearsals of the crucifixion as well. Jac has some interesting ideas of how each of them will be whipped before the walk to the cross.

I think one of them will be suspended by her wrists.
