this is too much. china HARVEST? god punishes her for being good at ice skating?
also the original video just made me picture people being trapped on a 7-hour flight. they get into the air, the flight attendants rub their hands together maliciously, and now the pilot won't land until you've all been baptized with little plane-sized bottles of holy water.
to be fair, the whole controversy (intentions of students aside) seemed to be created by the VP. He singled out the students wearing the flag shirts, freaked out b/c he thought something bad would happen, and kind of preemptively kicked them out for the day. At least from what I've read there wasn't really any turning-into-violence hostility going on, he just sort of caused it all. And is obviously an idiot.
I think I love you! And art students unite. It makes me wish Art School Confidential didn't devolve into a horribly cliche B movie in the second half. Because the first half was hi-lar-ious.
I think what gets me is the idea that any artist can instantly jump into a new medium. I'm not saying you can't work with multiple mediums. . .but do you really think a clasically trained painter with an MFA is going to be able to suddenly throw pots or cast metal?
That being said, I'm going to watch the shit out of this show.
Can I just say I am SO excited about Chasing Amy next week? In my bottom 5 movies for sure. Go Gabe!
these clips were awful though. Glad I never sat through it. It makes me worry that we're going to kill Gabe with movie badness, you know? Sorry Gabe.
hmm. I was actually wondering if they were going to edit some of it for wide release. . .I guess worse things have been in movies, but it's hard for me to picture a big studio not having a few objections. I'm interesting to see what the general response is to it when it comes out.
This is extra awesome because I read it in Donald Kaufman's voice. "It's like technology, versus horse."
I heard that Spike Jonze told Cage to ignore every acting instinct he had in Adaptation. There you go.
Ok. so SPOILER ALERT people. Avert your eyes.
This shit is crazy. So the little creature grows super fast, and it grows into an eerily pixie-pretty freak animal-human creature. And blondie secretly used her own DNA to create her. Right? In one of the pivotal scenes, Adrian Brody thinks he is in a porno and actually has (somewhat graphic, crazy) sex with the creature, who is hormonal as all hell. And Sarah Polley walks in on them and is like. what. the. fuck. They (FINALLY) decide that it's all gone too far, and they need to put little Dren down. Only Dren dies. . .but she doesn't, because the thing with these manufactured creatures is that eventually they turn into males (???). So Dren comes back from the dead as a freaky male monster. And then it RAPES Sarah Polley (who, I remind you, was the creature's "mother" and also they share DNA). Adrian Brody stabs it, but before Polley can deliver the final blow, it kills Brody with its weird tail-spike. Sarah Polley kills it. But then it turns out she's totally pregnant, and she agrees to have the crazy hybrid incest rape monster baby if her company pays her a billion dollars. For science!!!
Needless to say I was highly, HIGHLY disturbed by the monster-rape. I mean, like rape in movies isn't bad enough already, right?? I really think the director had some crazy fetish, because half the movie is people having graphic sex with a science monster. I wish I could scrub this movie out of my mind.
Ok. I feel better now. I've been harboring ragey-hatred for that movie since January. I kind of can't wait until it comes out so more people can rant with me about how awful it is!
Hope I didn't ruin everyone's much anticipated movie-watching experience.
Oh my god you guys, I saw this at Sundance and it is just as bad as you think! The science is ridiculous, the acting is awful, the characters are total douchebags, and nothing they do makes any logical sense. My theater burst out laughing at one of the most "dramatic" scenes. Towards the end it gets really, really disturbing in a way that makes me wish I could burn it from my brain. I wouldn't even recommend hate watching it. Awwwfuuuuuul. If you want spoilers I'd be happy to tear it apart!
I just had to get that off my chest.
YIKES. I love me some Lady Gaga, but this was just embarrassing. Gotta go watch Bad Romance a few thousand times.
