Spud (film)

Spud is a 2010 South African comedy-drama film which is based on the novel of the same name by John van de Ruit. Written and directed by Donovan Marsh. Mr. Edly Good God. Horror, horror, horror! Tongue nor heart; cannot conceive or name thee! May all the trumpets speak; give them all breath, Those clamorous harbingers of blood and death! With me, you will be learning English. Not the, uh... rapturous ramblings of some self-obsessed literary queen. Exhibit one: Henry James. Exhibit two: Virginia Woolf and Agatha Christie. Frustrated sex-crazed carpet munchers with underarm firm. Don't get me wrong, boys; I have nothing against lesbians, nothing at all. In fact, I'd like to give them all a jolly good Rogerie. However, I will be teaching you malodorous meerkats how to be men! You will learn about women and sex. And if I do my job right, when you leave this class, you will be the kind of man that men envy and the kind of man that women cannot resist. Mrs. Wilson The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars, As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven, Would through the airy region stream so bright, That birds would sing and think it were not night. See how she leans her cheek upon her hand! O, that I were a glove upon that hand, That I might touch that cheek!
