Today’s theme from 30 Days of Creativity is “Sting.”
The Ram directs a scene from The Secret Life of Bees. If you’ve seen the movie, you know why there are grits on the floor. If you haven’t seen the movie, the Ram gives it two-horns-up.
Other Day 16 creations can be seen here.
I am a little disappointed … When I saw Sting I immediately thought you were going to do something with the singer when he played Feyd Rautha Surely you have a Police-Sting Doll in their somewhere ! I know you could do the costuming with ropes of licorice… Perhaps recreate the steam scene

I am curious about the Secret Lives of Bees now, thanks Rammie McRam!
Sometimes I like to do what’s not expected. Plus: Dune: never saw it, never read it.
While I read the book, I never saw the movie. After seeing all the kinky costumes I’m thinking I might have missed something. Didn’t they do a mini-series on the book, too?
I vaguely remember that there was. I’ve neither read nor watched anything Dune-ish because I don’t usually tend toward science fiction. That’s Tom’s cup of tea.
I was about to fondue all over this thing … but I am going to wait and send it in an email …
I thought the doll’s stuffing had fallen out!
That would make the movie a tragedy!
I had never heard of the movie, much less seen it. But I do like the Ram’s direction … and the grits. Guess I don’t have any chicks who wanted to see this flick. All the girls I go to the movies with want to see hot male flesh. Guess that means I’m going to be forced to go see Rock Of Ages and Magic Mike.
OMG, that girl in the grits only has one leg!
Ha ha, it’s the angle. Here, you can see the tip of her other foot on her outstretched leg in this outtake:
I see … having a one legged girl in the movie really would have made it a tragedy.
Losing her stuffing, losing a leg–she’s reminding me of that poster of the dog named “Lucky.”
Thanks!
My mother gave me the book to read, and I’m not sure I read it before I saw the movie. But the movie is very moving, and so is the book.
I hear Rock of Ages isn’t doing so well at the box office. It would take a lot to make me watch a movie with Tom Cruise, and this probably isn’t it.
Amidst all the bad reviews, Cruise is the only one who’s received any that were favorable. Guess the metal-heads weren’t ready for this one.
I’ve read he does a great job. I grant that he’s charismatic, hardworking, and easy on the eyes. I just can’t stomach him anymore.
Ditto. I can watch his pre-Katie Holmes, pre-Scientology-jerk movies, but not since. I HAVE read that he did this one ‘straight’, as in playing it seriously and not camping it.
I was done with him after a pre-Oscar interview he did with Barbara Walters in…2000, maybe? When she asked him to respond to the rumors that he is gay, he said those rumors were sick and disgusting. He also said, “I have children,” but it’s been so long that I don’t remember if he was expressing dismay that his children would hear those rumors or that having children proved he was heterosexual. Whatever else I find distasteful about him, his revulsion about gay rumors told me more than I want to know about his character. The only movie I can still watch him in is Interview With the Vampire, but I have to completely divorce the character Lestat from the actor Tom Cruise.
this is one of my favorite books. and the movie – another reason to like Queen Latifa (sp?)
She’s wonderful in that movie.
