Notes on a heavenly mandate

Remaking Defiant Ones politically incorrect is heavenly mandate. Yellow and rainbow tethered, skip down the lane hand-in-hand. However the straight-but-not-so-narrow voice confuses preexisting pom-pommed Grease excerpt as multicultural Logan's Run gone bad. New footage of parallel jogging speeds to dead sprint gratis grapes and coffee. Both then mistaken to be Sherman and Mr. Peabody in way-back machine rewinding their great escape from one nation, two systems.

Or promulgate Matthew Barneyish sadomasochistic metaphors. Certainly handcuffs reference aberrant sexual ties-that-literally-bind as opposite teams attract and gives homoerotic meaning to spastic three-legged race.

And the queen of the ball evolves into a celestial being.
