(no subject)
To accommodate my winter-blah-funk, I've been on Netflix a lot. I ain't bad at picking good movies. Of course, I love cheesed-out Lifetime-esque features, so I went for those after a couple goodies (including a movie spoof, 'Supernatural Activity'. Real funny one, for real, check it).
First one I checked out, 'Perfect Student', was hella-stupid. Law professor's student is accused of killing her roomie, she believes her because her brother's in jail when he doesn't deserve to be (it's Lifetime, why are you asking, "What does THAT have to do with anything?") so plot-hole-y it doesn't have plot.
Second one I check out's legit, no cheese at all; David Schwimmer's 'Trust_'. Real good one, very realistic with Clive Owens about a girl who falls for a guy on the internet who of COURSE turns out to be a late-30's pervo. But it didn't come with the usual LT-Network titillation. It was very, very realistic and WELL thought-out.
Third one, because I watched 'Trust_' came 'Megan Is Missing'. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT WATCH. The best description I saw was a screenshot of a text with some guy telling a friend how cheesy and stupid it is, how the acting sucks then "WHOA THAT ESCALATED!" It got really, reallyyyyy hard-to-watch. A sort of Blair Witch style drama-mashup of 5-6 kidnapping/murder cases involving teenage girls. The lines between what's real and what isn't bluuuruurrururrrr. It's a warning-to-bad-girls film, again about the internet and how you can
fall victim to a psycho-murderer-sadist who first kidnaps your bestie then you, shell out some of the usual awful torture then shove you in a large barrel with your aforementioned bestie's corpse and bury you alive
and just... big thank you to Pan for saying, "Um, maybe we shouldn't be watching this? Gavvy's kinda... staring," when it started getting heavy. I kinda went into deer-in-headlights mode, hit the back button then looked up the (behind-the-cut) ending. Let's just say the nightmare-fuel I got from it already's got me wanting my Mommy, and the caps and synopses I plucked from the 'net in regards to the ending is... yea, don't see it. Unless, y'know, you wanna pick up some adult diapers for the rest of the week.
BUT! In order to forget all of this, I wen on to tread a little carefully into TV-drama teen stuff again and came across 'Triple Dog'. It looked cheesy at first, but ended up being really kinda cute! Buncha girls at a sleepover, a super-bad girl to stir the pot, a mystery behind her when it comes to a girl's death that turned into urban myth, leading the other girls into a night of playing 'Triple Dog Dare'. You start off haaaating every girl there, but end up finding them not-so-bad by the end. And the sleepover host's brother is like a darling, modern-day Zeke-Josh. For reals. And there was this other cute guy who ends up getting ALL up on knitting with the good Catholic girl of the group. He starts off a jerk as well, but he ended up mine and Pan's fave.
So theeeeen, FINALLY... I watch Brent Corrigan's 'Judas Kiss', a flick I've been wanting to see for a while... which ended up AWESOME. Our lil' porn star's a REAL BOY actor! :D Really cool plot, involving a backwards 'rollercoaster' type of storyline, present meeting future, etc. A little amateur here and there, but who cares. Hot guys, a few steamy shmex-scenes? Pan goes to look it up, clicking on Danny, the lead character young guy.
"Hey... this guy was in 'Triple Dog'! Steve, who was that?"
I didn't know, but I look back at Judas, eyes goes wide, "OMG HE WAS THE KNITTING BOY."
And he was! LOL! Small world, Netflix. :D So. Knitting-boy/Gay film student who has a few super-hot sex-scenes/My New Crush, Richard Harmon:
I mean, c'mon.
