Idea: remake of Tank Girl directed by Neil Blomkamp and starring yo-landi.

Honestly, Chappie is already basically that. The only diff is that she's not the one driving the tank.

Do I need to have seen more giallo to "get" Berberian Sound Studio? I loved the setting and mood, but once the actual horror elements kicked in it left me really cold.

I think you'd like the horror stuff in a real giallo a lot better.

Firstly, it's only Ninja that has that reputation, and given that they're not dating anymore and Blomkamp just wanted him for Elysium rather than both, he and Yolandi probably aren't a package deal. Tank Girl with Yolandi seems plausible enough (though we'd probably lose out on kangaroo-Ninja).

Secondly, a pretty big chunk of Ninja's problems on Chappie were that he was trying to back-seat-direct, so it's totally possible that he'll just direct something himself.

The thing is Die Antwoord is a complete act, they're both just art school nerds. So I don't know how seriously to take the rumours of them being assholes. I mean, I guess it is possible he's completely disappeared into the character of Ninja, but eh.

Honestly, whether or not they did alot of the stuff they were accused of doesn't really matter in the prospect of getting work. Being known as being hard to work with is one of the worst things you can be known for and you have to be shown to pull in tons of money for people to look past that. I know people here like Chappie, but it flopped pretty miserably, was critically panned and many reviews sited Die Antwoord as particularly not being very good. I'm not saying ti is impossible that they will get more acting work but many things are working against it being in anything even approaching the size of Chappie anytime soon.

And now, another edition of Anxiety Theatre...

I had just gotten home from work, after a long double having to deal with people wanting pies for Pi Day, drunk people out for St. Patrick's Day, a string of bad luck, and just an overly bad mood, when I got onto Facebook and saw that a friend of mine had created a new Facebook profile. What follows are my thoughts regarding that, in their entirety.

"Hey, that person that *friend's husband* just made friends with looks a lot like *friend*"

"Oh, that is her, this name is just a play on her maiden name"

"I wonder why she made a new profile? Oh, probably because she's leaving school and wants something to be able to show prospective employers."

"hm, I don't have a friend request yet. I wonder if it's just *husband* for now."

"Nope, 8 people. Why wouldn't she send me a friend request?"

"does she not want employers to see me specifically? is this only for people who are better friends with her than I am? She's known some of these people for way less time than she's known me. What the hell? Did she just forget about me? wouldn't that be worse? I just went out to dinner with her a few weeks ago, she likes my stuff on Facebook all the time, she can't have forgotten about me, this has to have been a deliberate decision that she made. Am I not presentable or something? I thought we were close."

At this point, my already down mood was in the gutter because of this, and I was laying down to go to bed anyways, but I kept on thinking.

"Well, do I send a friend request? I mean, what are the options here? She accepts, having been called on her bluff and I get a pity "oh I guess he noticed"? She genuinely forgot and I'm constantly questioning how good of friends we are? She denies, sends an explanation which I will pick to pieces like I'm doing now? Hell no. Getting no answer will at least let me live in the uncertainty."

All the while, the logical side of my brain is fighting a losing battle trying to rationalize away all of the sadness, but it doesn't work.

Anxiety can suck my dick.

I'm fully aware of how dumb it is. This isn't some thing where I think this is deadly serious, because it isn't, but those are all thoughts that have gone through my head in the last 24 hours, despite knowing how dumb they are.

It's a lot less boring than the other dumb thing I did, but that's because saying "can you not be a bitch to him for like, five minutes" to a friend/colleague in a fit of panic/anger/stupid is easily fixed by waiting for the whole situation to cool down.

Actually anxiety can't really suck your dick since it is a intangible mental state and therefore lacks the physical body required to suck cocks. It is very hard, perhaps even impossible, to deepthroat some throbbing manmeat if you possess neither mouth nor throat.

Now theoretically speaking it could be possible for the anthropomorphic personification of anxiety to suck your dick but why anyone would want Woody Allen to drool on their dilz is beyond me.
