Geisha Brothell in the Phantom Zone
Having artistic skills is a pain in the arse. You can't always make yourself work, even though you have a 3-day weekend. Of course, you can watch a bunch of TV and say you're just trying to 'get inspired'.
Productive things: had a meeting for Super Females! that I also typed up notes for in advance, helped a friend move, did some more Bodokon (yoga/karate taught by Courtney Cox's coach), finally bought a winter coat, and read a comic book or two from my pile.
Productive with quotation marks: Watched a little Family Guy and a little Desperate Housewives. Watched the 'BANNED FROM CABLE!' Masters of Horror entry called 'Imprint'. It's by the director of 'Audition', the one where the girl paralyzes a guy, then sticks pins in his eyelids and slices him w/ piano wire while sing-songing 'kittykittykitty'.
I did cringe during the torture scene, but they showed less actual piercing than you'd expect for 'being banned!' Anyway, it's basically the ghost story of the nastiest Geisha brothell you've even seen. It's in its own Phantom Zone. A whore with an creepily deformed face tells the American searching for his lost hooker-love different versions of what happened to her. And there's a TON of aborted fetus scenes!
The documentary on the making of was actually more interesting, I daresay. The director is actually this happy little guy who shows his female stars how to get beaten up while sliding down a river bank. 'I hurt my knee but I keep it to myself, because if they see a director can do it, then they can do it!' I'll have to remember that for Super Females! :-) Also, they show how a speech coach teaches the actors to approximate english, since the movie isn't subtitled. And the actress who ends up strung up and looking like Pinhead in Hellraiser is all 'yeah, the blood rushes to your head. it was ok. but in retrospect, I guess it was pretty hard.' um....ok. Oh, and the book's author basically says that the director and costumer fleshed out her story and knew the Geisha culture way more than her. She's a little too self-deprecating, but she's great in a non-actor way as the non-speaking old sadist prostitute who shows up during the torture scene with her bag of needles.
Oh, and I finished Season 1 of My Name is Earl.
And I ironed! And I had brunch at Linda's, while, y'know, it's still in business. OH, Pine st, I'll miss you when you've been remade into a normal street.
