[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 434350, member: 8"] It's been around for a while, and it wasn't invented by me. It's always been an unkind description even if it looks very accurate[SIZE=3] (although I must be careful not to side with the evil pseudo-feminists, apparently).[/SIZE] Then let me rephrase it as: Wouldn't it take the grande out of the grande dame guignol? Shouldn't there be a sense of (semi-)retirement and also a bit of a surprise? (or shock, I guess). Glenn Close in Dangerous Liaisons is on the brink of that genre, a character that struggles to hold on to her peak moment, but she's not quite beyond that. She's still very much in the middle of her dastardly memoires, rather than writing about it. I'm not saying: we [I]should[/I] draw the line exactly *here* or *there*, but on the other hand, look what happens when we don't. That's how everything made in the seventies has now become a "cult" movie. [/QUOTE]
