Woody Harrelson and James Franco are my current picks for the Best Actor oscars this year so far, although I'm really hoping The Shape of Water has a top tier Michael Shannon Doug Jones performance to compete with Harrelson.

We went to the movies, and we thought it would be fun, you know, to see The Shape of Water. Everybody says you gotta check it out. And... it's a woman loving a fish. We get there and we think it's gonna be awesome and... it is not as cool as it sounds like it's gonna be. It's kinda gross.

You think "A woman loving a fish" and you get there and... it's a woman loving a fish.

It was really giving it to her. And you know what? To be honest I just felt bad for her, we all just felt bad for her.

I kinda felt bad for the fish.

Oh man. I thought it was going to be more of an implied thing and not a straight up "She fucks that fish man." movie. I'm entirely too amused with this.

Are you sure that's not the prequel? I feel like the girl loving a fish is how we got the fish man in the first place.

I had an inverse experience recently watching the movie Teeth when I was bored out of my mind. I went into it expecting a movie that's about a girl who has a mutation that acts basically like the vagina dentata myth of old, and was completely onboard with it just being an excuse to have terrible men losing their junk.

Sure, it was that, but there's a surprising amount of depth in the film. You've got minor throughlines about living near nuclear power plants, dysfunctional families, fundamentalism vs secular teachings, how sex ed is taught (and how it's not taught), dealing with your developing sexuality in a vacuum and how within a religious context, and a bunch of other little things that I did not expect a netflix horror movie about vagina dentata to bother with.

I was going to change the words to the chorus of Under the Sea to be about a lady loving a fish man but it already kinda sounds that way.

quote:

Under the sea
Under the sea
Darling it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'

I really can't believe this has to be a codified rule, how horrible is that? Just stop and think about it for one second, I actually had to sit here and type this thing out here saying that nobody in the entire course of human civilization wants to know what movies you jerk off to. Don't tell us, don't tell us, don't tell us. I will probate the gently caress out of you disgusting orangutan-rear end motherfuckers, Jesus Christ, just don't do it.

I want to share a film with all of you. A couple years ago, my girlfriend and I dug through Netflix to see what kind of stuff was buried far from our recommendations. We briefly got into watching black Christian comedies full of marriage advice, of which there are many.

One of these movies is The Marriage Chronicles. It's about three couples that are invited to a retreat where they learn to communicate and connect. There are some arguments, some adventures, and a lot of heartfelt talks.

It used to be on Netflix but is now on Youtube. You can watch it right here. I invite everyone to do so right away. Don't skip ahead. You're going to wonder why I asked you watch this, but it's all worth it at the end. Enjoy!

He and Kubrick fought over the direction of the picture. Kubrick was used to full creative control (since he produced his first four films), while Douglas was the producer this time. They solved their differences by going to therapy together.

LOL, I vaguely remember Douglas firing the director and bringing on Kubrick because he wanted a yes man. I don't recall reading about any friction between the two but I always wondered about it. Any specific things he said about Kubrick?

Bought some cheapo led lights from Costco. They're decently bright and very portable since they're remote controlled and battery powered and you can mount them anywhere with double sided tape. Did some test shots with my cats on my low quality phone camera:

These are five in a set. If I buy two more sets I can stick each set together as one light and have 3 semi-powerful lights for three point lighting.

It might work. I think my problem was, now that I think about it, was I didn't have enough lamps for the bulbs. So I could only move around 2 or 3 lights at a time, and the rest had to be fixed to a place.

When I say it's a bizarrely ill-conceived movie, that makes it sound like there's anything fun or remotely interesting about it, but it's really not the case. I mean, a movie about an autistic savant accountant who is also a vigilante murder machine who funnels his hidden wealth through a special needs school which houses his profoundly autistic friend who talks to him through a computer and provides him intel on his missions, who is being hunted by his mercenary brother AND ALSO there's a subplot about cops who are hunting him BUT REALLY aiding him in a conspiracy sounds like it should at least be fun, right? Right?
