I like GWNC's movie recs. Napoleon Dynamite is genius. Best. Fro. Ever.
It's bad enough that Declan McManus* is suing the producers of the film for stealing another pseudonym of his without credit, but it is wholly another thing to out Shape Shifter by using his firm picture as your new Avatar.

Is it true SS is in negotiation to be the first "feature length" Queer Eye make over?

If, like me, you only get to see movies after they come out on video, I enthusiatically recommend Pieces of April. It's a great character study, and Katie Holmes charms gthe hell out of you right through the screen.

Disturbing

MIAMI - Police in the Florida Keys are mystified by a bizarre new pastime — young people dangling themselves from meat hooks on a popular sandbar.

U.S. Coast Guard were called on July 12 to the sandbar off Whale Harbor in Islamorada. They found that five young people had erected a bamboo tripod and hung meat hooks from it. A young woman, her feet brushing the surface of the shallow water, dangled from the frame, hooks embedded firmly in her shoulders.

Lt. Tom Brazil of the Coast Guard said a young man, who also had hooks embedded in his heavily pierced and tattooed skin, told him the group was “just enjoying the afternoon.”

There were no laws against sticking meat hooks into yourself and hanging from a tripod on a sandbar (really? you'd think that someone would have done something about this by now), Brazil added, according to the newspaper.

What I'd like to know is, what kind of drugs one takes in order for meat hooks embedded in your shoulder to allow you to just chill.
And what kind of drugs you have to take in order to think up an idea like this, and talk people into building a tripod and hanging meat hooks from it. I mean, I knew some wacky people in college that would do anything to get high (snorting someone's asthma pills comes to mind) but this - I can't imagine what triggered this.

It doesn't require drugs. It simply requires impressionable minds watching JLo's movie "the cell". Vincent D'Onofrio's character puts rings into his back, legs, and shoulders and chills in his basement hanging from them.

I have a friend who is a performance artist who ends up hanging by meathooks in nearly all of his pieces. He also sticks these really cool looking spears in his back in an intricate pattern that make him look like he has wings. His troupe is somewhat distrubing to watch, but certainly is interesting.

TV Update

So, having suddenly found myself busy and completely over tired again, I somehow find myself spending my limited night off watching the M. Night Shaymalan mockumentary on SciFi tonight. It was actually pretty amusing. I recommend it to anyone witih 3 hours to kill.

That is all I have to say for myself. Except that the skirts are really fun this season, yes?

I saw that too, on and off. I'm not sure what to make of it. How much of that was real v. staged? Getting Johnny Depp and the other actors together was pretty convincing.

Guess they're on a pretty shitty version of it these days.

Have to say Voeckler's been pretty impressive for an unknown. For a frenchman, he doesn't give up easy. I suppose the German surname explains it . . .
