A new era on a dangerously close horizon
This weekend Maya, John and I went to see Hostel II. It wasn't as good as the first which, for a lot of people, doesn't say much but I liked few themes in the first one. The glib abundance of nudity and sex in the first half of the film only to be matched in blank honesty by brutal torture I thought was a great send up of our culture's expectations of horror films. We expect sex and then we expect the sex to be followed by violence. The ratcheting up of those two aspects just drew my attention toward my own expectations. However in the sequel there wasn't enough sex and not enough torture to elaborate or continue his premise. Though I did enjoy the expansion of the bloodhound company. Now that an organization has been assembled with multiple tiers you can expect sequels (after Roth's departure) where they look into that group (think of the Skulls franchise).
Where was I going with that? Oh yeah, this coming weekend Maya and I are going to the BME BBQ in Milwaukee and I'll probably be getting a transcrotal operation done. I've been imagining what it'll be like to have a literal hole right through my nutsac. Imagining what it'll be like when Bee or Maya or anyone touches it, puts their finger through it, etc.
Another excursion is the possible creation of my production company. I'll be graduating soon and if I don't go into graduate school then I'll have to get a job at a company, gaining experience in the proper field. In the meanwhile, for my own pictures, I'd like to have a name to attach to credits. For a while I wanted something with the Vandals in it. I thought about 'Vandal Productions', 'Vandalized Films', 'Vandalous Nation', etc. but none of them stuck. Reading 'Naked Lunch' I came across the phrase 'canceled eyes' and I said aloud, 'A Canceled Eyes production...' Sounded nice until I said 'Canceled Eyes Films'. Not so much. Many production company names are singular so that 'films' or 'productions' may follow, what an unforeseen prerequisite. Burroughs' book has the vulgar, blunt audacity that I'd like to be able to carry onto a set. I hope there's another quotable bit I can use.
The next time I write in this I'll probably have a hole between my balls.
