Can we get back to talking about how Call Me By Your Name is a masterpiece.

Hmm, set in 83? How much piss guzzling and shit eating is there? Because I can really tell you what being gay was like in the early 80s.

Well the younger of the two

Well that's bullshit. Let me feed you some truth.

In the early 80s, my time in NYC came to an end after an incident during my tenure as a YMCA wrestling coach led to a warrant being issued for me. I fled to the West Coast, and I did what I always did: I started from the bottom. San Diego.

One day, while browsing around the library in downtown San Diego, I had to take a piss. As I entered the john a big, beautiful all-American football hero type, about 25, came out of one of the booths. I stood at the urinal looking at him out of the corner of my eye as he washed his hands. He didn't once look at me. He was "straight" and married and in any case I was sure I wouldn't have a chance with him.

As soon as he left I darted into the booth he'd vacated, hoping there might be a lingering smell of his shit and even a seat still warm from his sturdy young ass. I found not only the smell but the shit itself. He'd forgotten to flush. And what a treasure he had left behind. Three or four beautiful specimens floated in the bowl. It apparently had been a fairly dry, constipated shit, for all were fat, stiff, and ruggedly textured. The real prize was a great feast of turd—a nine-inch gastrointestinal triumph as thick as a man's wrist.

I knelt before the bowl, inhaling the rich brown fragrance and wondering if I should obey the impulse building up inside me. I'd always been a heavy rimmer and had lapped up more than one little lump of shit, but that had been just an inevitable part of eating ass and not an end in itself. Of course I'd had jerk-off fantasies of devouring great loads of it (what rimmer hasn't), but I had never done it. Now, here I was confronted with the most beautiful five-pound turd I'd ever clapped my eyes on, a sausage fit to star in any fantasy and one I knew to have been hatched from the asshole of the world's handsomest young stud.
Why not? I plucked it from the bowl, holding it with both hands to keep it from breaking. I lifted it to my nose. It smelled like rich, ripe limburger (horrid, but thrilling), yet had the consistency of cheddar. What is cheese anyway but milk turning to shit without benefit of a digestive tract?

I gave it a lick and found that it tasted better than it smelled. I've found since then that shit nearly always does.

I hesitated no longer. I shoved the fucking thing as far into my mouth as I could get it and sucked on it like a big brown cock, beating my meat like a madman. I wanted to completely engulf it and bit off a large chunk, flooding my mouth with the intense, bittersweet flavor. To my delight I found that while the water in the bowl had chilled the outside of the turd, it was still warm inside. As I chewed I discovered that it was filled with hard little bits of something which I soon identified as undigested peanuts. He hadn't chewed them carefully and they'd passed through his body virtually unchanged. I ate it greedily, sending lump after peanutty lump sliding scratchily down my throat. My only regret was that the donor of this feast wasn't there to wash it down with his piss.

I soon reached a terrific climax. I caught my cum in the cupped palm of my hand and drank it down. Believe me, there is no more delightful combination of flavors than the hot sweetness of cum with the rich bitterness of shit.

After I had finished all that nasty, wonderful mess and had recovered myself I was sorry that I hadn't made it last longer. But then I realized that I still had a lot of fun in store for me. There was still a clutch of virile turds left in the bowl. I tenderly fished them out, rolled them into my handkerchief, and stashed them in my briefcase. In the week to come I found all kinds of ways to eat the shit without bolting it right down. Once eaten its gone forever unless you want to filch it third hand out of your own asshole. Not an unreasonable recourse in moments of desperation or simple boredom.

I stored the turds in the refrigerator when I was not using them but within a week they were all gone. The last one I held in my mouth without chewing, letting it slowly dissolve. I had liquid shit trickling down my throat for nearly four hours. I must have had at least six orgasms.

I often think of that lovely young guy dropping solid gold out of his sweet, pink asshole every day, never knowing what joy it could, and at least once did, bring to a grateful shit-eater.

So keep in mind, every time you use a public toilet and forget to flush, there's going to be a degenerate, like me or Tasty Meat or maybe even a younger, still confused Cindi, waiting to kneel down in front of that bowl with a big ol' grin on their face.

Wait, in the best movie of 2016 (Toni Erdmann) they ate cum off a miniature cake, and in the best movie of 2017 they ate it off a peach... so what are they going to eat it off of in the best film of 2018?

Paul Verhoeven's upcoming "Blessed Virgin" may be our best hope.

Just watched Foxy Brown again, in a theater for the first time. It’s still an amazing movie and I’ll say it again: there’d be no gay men if all women looked like Pam Grier.

So ex-Crank auter Brian Taylor's Mom and Dad seems to exist only as a (very successful) excuse for Nicolas Cage to wig out, but there's actually more to than just that. I mean, not a lot more, its a sub 90 minute horror-comedy with only one point to make amid its very nasty sense of humor to go with its rare but sometimes potent scares, but its gleeful subversion of not just dramatic cliches about family life but its frank acknowledgement of middle-aged despair means that the guy who gave us the sight of Ghost Rider urinating fire somehow made another one of his crazy joints that actually contains some level of substance. The very comitted performances help, Cage is exactly as you'd expect (rarely as perfectly appro though), but Selma Blair steals the show. Its the type of performance that gives weight to a trashy, bad-taste film like this one. Only this is a great example of such.

So a bunch, like a substantial number of ex-Studio Ghibli dudes got together and made the closest thing possible to their previous work in style, content, and tone, and with only a marginal downgrade in visual fidelity with Mary and the Witch's Flower. Seriously, it follows the Ghibli playbook so closely its surprising no legal action has been taken. Its actually ranks comfortably ahead of the less successful official studio efforts like The Cat Returns and Tales From Earthsea, and if I'm feeling generous a few more than that too. There's nothing at all wrong with it, but I couldn't call it a great film. Its lacking a certain spark, an abrasive amd distinct weirdness that is somehow never too jarring (Spirited Away is plenty damn weird), its hard to catagorize what exactly makes something special and what's just pretty good, but this film just feels a little too nice for its own good.

I've noticed a strong pattern: Your lack of joy and enjoyment from anything you watch lately. One might suggest that you are in the throes of a depressive episode, which might also explain your lashing out and aggressive behavior in other threads as you externalize your internal strife.

Feel better, friend.

Or i'm getting older, and more cynical. It's like that stan episode from south park, everything is shit.

But not entirely true. Last year gave me two of my fav films of all time Blade Runner 2049 and Mother!. And i just recently saw Three billboards outside ebbing missouri and I,Tonya which were fantastic.  I even enjoyed Borg vs McCenroe a lot.

I've seen a lot of movies, you can say i'm a movie junky. Always have been. These days I have less patience for garbage, and I definitely can't stand when Hollywood tries to push their identity politics agenda down my throat. So, now i don't care not to finish a movie if it's painfully obvious and subpar where as before i felt i needed to see everything in order to have a firm grasp of filmmaking and storytelling.

Next movies on my list: Molly's Game and then Florida Project.

Blade Runner is fucking so good. If you didn't like you've probably said something along the lines of "Hitler had some great ideas" or believe in bringing back the gold standard.

Watched last year's Murder on the Orient Express

Hercule Poirot is my favorite of those old school detective characters so its always interesting to me to see a new actor do a spin on the character.

Kenneth Branagh is such a solid actor that he can pretty much knock these kind of roles out on his sleep and he's solid as you expect. I prefer the Poirot in the 74 movie version and David Suchet Poirot but Branagh is certainly equally valid in his take.

Overall the movie is a solid version of this well worn property and while I prefer the 74 version, this is clearly made to attract a younger audience who isn't going to watch a film from the 70's. It's well made. It looks nice. My only real complaint is that they use this weird over-head angle when Poirot is investigating to give the movie a different look. I don't really like it. It makes it hard to tell what is going on. Other than that it's exactly the kind of movie you expect as an adaption of an old timey thing. I have a feeling people will essentially remake this novel every 30 years from here on until eternity which is fine.

I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore : Pretty enjoyable. Father time is hitting everyone hard. Except that little fuck Elijah Wood


Icarus: First off, that Russian dude is a fucking TRIP. Knows he's under investigation by WADA and is like "Oh sure, I'll help you do this super illegal thing that could get me double fucked if I get caught, let me smuggle all of your urines into Russia and you know what, why don't I just take you to my lab and let you film everything. Also, I do not wear shirt."

The actual doping part of the doc for the set up needed to be like 10 minutes tops, as that dude going on gear and doing worse in a race is obviously not the fucking story anyone is interested in. He just wanted to brag about how insane of a biker he is. STFU and get to the crazy Soviet reading 1984, refusing to wear shirts, and fearing that Putin is going to assassinate him for revealing the totally shocking secret that Russia has state sponsored doping programs for their athletes for decades. Like we ain't all seen Rocky 4.  :beli

The dude is so lucky he managed to trip into this guy, cuz the initial premise was so laughable. "I need some kind of moral cover so I can do steroids and win an am race." It's funny because he's not really wrong, but doping is so widespread in cycling that him doing a documentary on it would be inherently pretty pedestrian. The rest of that thing was great though, especially when the guy he initially tries to get help him hands him off to the Russian guy, like "On second thought, I'm not really willing to throw my reputation onto a tire fire but I've got just the man for the job." And boy oh boy did he not disappoint with his recommendation.

Even if it was marketed as a comedy which it wasn't, it didn't do such a good job at being one, did it?

I like the term RedLetterMedia uses for Disney movies and superhero crapfests in general: product. Thor is the latest mass consumption product from the same mold every other Disney product was made from the last decade. Safe, pointless with lots of pyrotechnics to impress the millions of morons, sloppily add a social message in it to stroke Hollywood's ego and false sense of self-importance and stick a fork in it, it's done.

Great, see ya all in the next superhero crapfest I'm gonna watch and bitch about. Why the fuck do I keep wasting my time with this shit I have no idea.

That's not a bad term for it. Like those clichéd fantasy novels which have some prophesied being facing trials and they go on and on… I call those "extruded fantasy product."

The genre expectations for superhero stuff in TV and movies is just so narrow that it just doesn't interest me. I mean I get that we all have our unique interests and more power to you if super hero stuff is your thing but I can only watch so many stories about a guy putting on a costume and beating up all the evil-doers before I've had enough. There are occasional genre standouts that catch my eye like Logan, or Guardians of the Galaxy, etc but in general my appetite for that is pretty low.

I think most of this super hero stuff is the male version of twilight movies.

maze runner trilogy just finished watching the new maze runner movie. And it's pretty much like the other ones.

I went to see this movie in theaters the weekend it came out and while it was very well made, it was the first movie that made me realize "I'd rather be watching this at home" which made me feel old.  Prior to this movie I've always preferred to see something in the theaters and get that cinema big screen feel but it's really more of a movie where you should see it comfortable on a Sunday afternoon or some shit.  I think it has a lot to do with the relaxed pacing which I really appreciated.

this movie was a riot. I loved the underlying premise even if it left me wanting more mayhem by the end. The title itself just makes me laugh.

My feeling too. I hope Macon Blair directs again, because if he refines his Saulnier+Coen style I think he could really make something excellent.

I went to see this movie in theaters the weekend it came out and while it was very well made, it was the first movie that made me realize "I'd rather be watching this at home" which made me feel old.  Prior to this movie I've always preferred to see something in the theaters and get that cinema big screen feel but it's really more of a movie where you should see it comfortable on a Sunday afternoon or some shit.  I think it has a lot to do with the relaxed pacing which I really appreciated.

Yeah I can see that. Give the PBS movies a shot if you've never seen them as they are essentially that thing.

Its been a long, long time since a movie straight up pissed me off as much as Netflix's The Open House. What a bland, pointless piece of shit.

It was one of those "it's a horror movie on Netflix I haven't watched yet with the GF" kinda movies. Absolute regret.

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women

You fucking know this is directed by a woman because it takes the story of a really horny dude that was into extreme bondage and turns it into a love story with all the mushy trappings and melodrama of a romantic novel.

Serious line from the ending of the movie:

"I thought love was not enough... but it has to... it has to because we can't live without you"

"ok, i want a new stove"

Blade Runner is fucking so good. If you didn't like you've probably said something along the lines of "Hitler had some great ideas" or believe in bringing back the gold standard.

I just finished watching this. It's phenomenal. There are some pacing problems, which could arguably be attributed to mimicking the original Blade Runner so closely. Remarkable. Is Villaneuve batting 1000? I haven't yet seen anything of his I didn't like. 10/10 voight-kampffs

I, Tonya

If only most biopics were this well made and entertaining. Film manages to pull off funny and dramatic while mainting Tonya as a sympathetic figure. Not diminishing her in the slightest. The film did well in portraying just how much of her upbringing was a blessing in her life and a curse.  She was given a singular focus and excelled at it but she couldn't escape the violence in her life and choices she made that ultimately acted as an albatross.

Watched Wonder Woman again, first time I watched it since seeing at the cinema.

Still one of the best super hero movies in recent times. Gal Gadot is great, it looks striking visually and it's overall a fun watch.

How is that even possible? It was mediocre in almost every way. Gal was the best part about it, the only decent part about it actually.

I did actually. I have an artistic mind.

Yeah I, Tonya was good. I thought she was going to be too hot for the part but she really pulled it off.


Molly's Game- this was Sorkins first effort as a director right? I think he did a great job. Decent movie.

Total Recall

A rewatch but man, I want Verhoven to return to sci-fi so bad. Maybe he'll be inspired by Villeneuve. I don't know. All the films I've watched of his have a certain bite that satisfies this base male sensibility without compromising itself as a film. Well, aside from 'Elle' which absolutely turns this sentiment on its head and is equally as good

I'd also call the basic terraforming of mars with a single handprint one of the more satisfying moments in cinema. A good portion of the film youre held in this fear of the glass mars dome. Fragile, dangerous and but with the heros actions a sense of catharsis and freedom for all, even the viewer.

Watched the new jumanji movie. It was fantastic fun. A little formulaic and cheesy but quite entertaining if you can look past that .

Watched Apollo 13 again for the first time in like 20 years. After spending way too much time playing Kerbal I went down a deep rabbit hole of watching too many NASA documentaries and reading too many articles about the Gemini, Mercury, Apollo and shuttle programs.

I was wondering what kind of impact the movie would have on me at this point in my life and I'll say there is a reason the movie is so well regarded.

Can't wait to watch it again someday.

Call Me by Your Name was a pretty big disappointment. I’m getting loaded at a comedy club so I can’t go into detail right now, but I just wanted to let everyone that loved it know that they love a piece of shit. Save your money or see Jumanji again.

My local theater was finally showing The Shape of Water (aka The Creature From the Big Black Lagoon). It was p. good. Between this and The Cure For Wellness, 2017 was a banner year for water-based tales of sexual deviancy.  :-*

The Shawshank Redemption

Well-regarded movies like this fall into something of a trap for me. Because they're so well known and so lauded and have penetrated pop culture so thoroughly, it can often feel like you've missed the bus so you might as well leave the station. Or something. And often times the best parts are spoiled by pop culture, so a viewing can feel pointless.

Needless to say, though I was nervous that would be the case, it isn't at all. I went into this thankfully not knowing much else beside Morgan Freeman saying "Andy Dufresne" a lot, and Andy's 500-yard sewer escape, but those are such fleeting moments in comparison to the overall achievement this film represents. Yes, the escape is the climax, but it obviously means so much more when you've seen the two hours leading up to it.

Speaking of, this movie felt like a breeze to watch. It's 2 hours and 20 mins and it goes by quicker than most episodes of Law & Order. The narration, character interactions, montages, and leaps of time combine to make this one of the most accessible movies over two hours I've ever watched.

In terms of how I rate and reviews about movies, the movies that provoke an emotional reaction from me are rated (some would say overrated) highly. That's why I love mother!, it made me feel so many things - anger, shock, dismay, and more, until by the end of it I was sitting gobsmacked in my theater seat. Is mother! an objectively great movie? I can't say. But it made me feel something.

I say that because the ending of this movie, while obvious from a mile away, still delivered one of the most emotional ending scenes I've ever watched. But unlike many other movies, it doesn't seem like they wrote the movie to get to the ending. The rest of the movie is still a joy without it. But it delivers that final gut punch and I got all teary-eyed.

5 / 5

Hostiles

It feels pretty derivative of other, better movies(like Scott Cooper's other works, except this time it's The Searchers and Unforgiven instead of The Deer Hunter or The Departed) but I'm OK with watching Christian Bale play cowboy and brood in front of some pretty vistas for 2 hours. Aside from Bale, Rosamund Pike is good and the supporting cast is pretty deep but they don't really get to do a whole lot. It's just frustrating because it seems like everything's in place for a great movie except for a stronger script or narrative. They don't really make movies like this anymore, so I can overlook its flaws, but be prepared for a movie that takes itself very seriously and isn't really a lot of "fun" to watch.* Just don't go in expecting a Leone or even a Bone Tomahawk.

(*It does have some cool moments, like Bale brooding with a storm coming in the background in a Malick-inspired montage and the final gunfight is pretty good but it's more of a contemplative slow-burn.)
Blade Runner is fucking so good. If you didn't like you've probably said something along the lines of "Hitler had some great ideas" or believe in bringing back the gold standard.

I just finished watching this. It's phenomenal. There are some pacing problems, which could arguably be attributed to mimicking the original Blade Runner so closely. Remarkable. Is Villaneuve batting 1000? I haven't yet seen anything of his I didn't like. 10/10 voight-kampffs
I kind of hated Enemy but check out Incendies, which I never hear anyone talk about anymore when discussing his work. It's as good or better than some of his mainstream stuff. It's kind of like those dark South Korean thrillers of the mid to late 2000s that the Internet loves, but set in the Middle East and more grounded with the emphasis on the fucked up drama instead of the action. It's a Canadian production and was put out by Sony Classic Pictures in the US so don't be put off thinking it's some low budget movie that looks like it cost $2 to make(it opens with a Radiohead song and you can tell the guy behind the camera knows what he's doing.) Just avoid reading any plot summaries or synopses if you can.

Watched Apollo 13 again for the first time in like 20 years. After spending way too much time playing Kerbal I went down a deep rabbit hole of watching too many NASA documentaries and reading too many articles about the Gemini, Mercury, Apollo and shuttle programs.
