Just got back from Kinsey. So much love for Liam Neeson, Laura Linney and Peter Sarsgaard. And now I want to read everything written by or about Kinsey, because the story fascinated me and I want to know how much of it is true. (Plus, they interviewed so many people - statistics!)

PETER SARSGAARD.

PETER SARSGAARD SEXING UP LIAM NEESON AND LAURA LINNEY!

[moireach.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. (Tho' I was disapointed the Peter Sarsgaard/Laura Linney sexing wasn't more graphic!) But graaaaaah. That movie was a turning point in our relationship, mine and Peter Sarsgaard's. Yis.

I'm ashamed to say I don't remember seeing him in anything before. But he was very lovely and an excellent actor, and I will look out for more of his sexing</strike work.

Okay first read the Kinsey Institutes New Report on Sex. Very good info!
Also there is a truly brilliant bio on him, but I can't for the life of me remember the author. But it's got a picture of Kinsey on the cover in his bow tie and in reddish colours his name. Sorry, I suck.

Is it this book (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0393327248/qid=1110328745/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_11_2/202-4824359-9267036)? (I ran straight to Amazon after I couldn't find anything in my uni library catalogue)

He was in Shattered Glass and Garden State and was spectacular in both.

I can't wait to see this movie, because all three actors are among my favs.

OMG PETER SARSGAARD WAS SO HOT IN THAT.

There were a couple of pages in Fortean Times 194 page 52-53 about bits the film leaves out.
Further reading at the end of the article says :
TC Boyle The Inner Circle, Bloomsbury, 2005
James H Jones Alfred C. Kinsey: A Public/Private Life, WW Norton & Company, 1997
Jonathan Gathome-Hardy Alfred C Kinsey: Sex- The Measure of All Things - A Biography, Pimlico, 1999

He was. And the sex scenes were both incredibly hot because the Kinsey one's so longing and desperate and the Mac one was just guiltless and fun. I need this movie on DVD liek whoa.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

The last two are in my Amazon shopping cart as we speak!

[annakovsky.livejournal.com]

soooooooooooo hot. I too am now desperately curious about what really happened - I need to get a biography of Kinsey or something.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I've heard a lot of good things about Garden State. Definitely going to have to rent that.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I know that the real Clyde Martin refused to talk to the director. I am filled with curiosity.

[annakovsky.livejournal.com]

REALLY? Huh.

(How awful of a name is "Clyde Martin", btw? Heeeeeee.)

Also, your icon! HA!

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I also reccommend Shattered Glass, which is the true story of a scandal at The New Republic when it was discovered that one of their top reporters was making up stories out of whole cloth. A fascinating character study.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I have a new secret fandom shame: I really want Kinsey RPS. And there is none to be found :cries:

[annakovsky.livejournal.com]

Well, the BOW TIE. Heeeeeeeeeee. I want Clyde Martin RPS.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

As an aside, the Boyle book is a work of fiction. I remember reading the NY Times book review (it was highly positive).

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

!!! Further down this thread, a2zmom points out there is published Kinsey RPS called The Inner Circle (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0670033448/103-2662978-8828627). A 'virginal young man' becomes his assistant and does exactly what Clyde does in the movie. One might say he *is* Clyde with the name changed so the real guy couldn't sue...

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

*Whoa*. I had a vague hope there'd be a fictionalized account but didn't think I'd find one. And Amazon UK has it! Thank you for pointing that out.

[cat-eyed-fox.livejournal.com]

Yes! Excellent. my copy is hanging out in my locker at school so I didn't have it on hand

[annakovsky.livejournal.com]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fannishnej.livejournal.com]

This is a review I wrote (http://www.livejournal.com/users/bookworm_jen/27242.html) about a biography of Kinsey that I read recently.

[lasultrix.livejournal.com]

Yes! I read the review for that in the Sunday Times and thought, 'uh, this is Clyde Martin...'

[owl]

I want to see both of them. The fact that I fancy Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman has nothing to do with it, oh no.

Seriously, they both sound like good films. Small and interesting.
