i happened to watch the movie "hard candy" the other evening. a bit slow, but it definitely left me with an impression. it asked questions, and left me with more questions. how much more can i expect from a film. there wasn't much "feel good" in this, but there was an opportunity to expand my understanding of pain and a chance to feel my flesh crawl. its premise takes me back to "i spit on your grave" from the eighties, which ran at the theatres in chicago for all of one week, till it got pulled. i would recommend both films, if you haven't seen them yet. although, strangely enough i don't actually recommend retribution. i do, however, have a tendency to empathize with its existence. and thanks to youtube for the combination of hard candy clips with the 30 seconds from mars (photo above-thank you mr jared leto et al) track. it truly is inspired.
oh, and i googled eunuchs and i found more than i had bargained for. here is what i found to be the most indulgent.....(check out "becoming an impotent pigboy") can i just say ewwww here?

I loved Hard Candy! It took me forever to get around to renting it. That actress was in the last installment of the X-Men, and thank god it is the last, as it was pretty bad!
