Thread: Rudy's TV Screen

Youtube Been watching a lot of Sephora and makeup company rants lately, lol. Not going to link to any of them because they seem kind of personal, small channels and for some reason that I can't really figure out, they get a lot of down votes. I'm not sure if this is people getting confused, down voting because omg, I hate that that happened to you or if they actually understand what down voting means as a judgement of disliking the video and they're like super loyal to these makeup companies or whatever, but I'm not gonna link them anyway. I dunno, I'm not a makeup person, not into that, and I don't even watch regular makeup tutorials. I just like the vague bitchy drama of these stories people have, whether working for these companies or as customers, getting treated like shit when trying to get help at the makeup counter in the mall. TV NA Film Watched Pathology and Stir of Echoes. Two very smart thriller type horror films and some of my favorites for their male casting. When I first watched Pathology, I thought both Milo Ventimiglia and Michael Weston were unattractive but after the first 20 minutes of the film, they grow on you. Especially with Jake's first scenes of camaraderie where he actually reveals a bit of fun personality. The best way to describe this film for me is porn. Basically porn. Story is engaging, entertaining, absurd but takes the hit and faces it head on without a flinch. Drugs, murder, psychopathy, and a game spiraling wildly out of control. My favorite thing about it is the dark male characters though. I love the shit out of Jake, especially as his personality starts to evolve and he shows this more twisted side of himself. Seriously...this is story porn, lol. Total boner right here. After I finished that porn...I watched some more with Kevin Bacon leading the story in Stir of Echoes. XD I cannot gush enough about this movie. As far as ghost stories go, it follows its own rules and there isn't a wasted line or a wasted scene. Even having watched it several times before, this time around, looking for anything that kind of felt out of place or didn't need to be there, I can't say there is. And it's super simple too. No gimicks, no overused tropes flailing about the scenery it all feels very genuine, integral to the over all story, and new. That awakening inner sight thing they used again for the Insidious franchiseanother great series of horror films that bring something new and inventive to the storytelling table! but I hadn't really seen it before this movie. And don't get me started on 90's Kevin Bacon. Sweet Keksjar, I kid you not, 90's Bacon is my ideal man slender, angular, wiry muscles, little bit of scruff, cynical grin, smokey voice, and heavy, American accentwhat is that? His bio says he grew up in Philly but it feels almost Boston to me. It's the fun and beautiful kind of character to write too, the one he plays in this movie. I could go on for days about all the little manly things he does that just flick that switch for me but to save time and space, I'll leave you with this pic instead. ...Porn. X3 I love that scene by the way. See more Where he's digging in the yard and his wife confronts him about him acting so freaky. He tells her that he's digging for the body of the ghost girl who's haunting him, feeling that it's somewhere on their property. The wife glances over at their son who was previously designated as helping and Bacon shrugs off her mortification about the 4-5 year old boy helping with this task by giving her a shrug and shake of his head saying, Don't worry. It's not over therewhere the boy is digging in a different part of the yard. It's just like, perfect delivery, great joke to indicate without too many words the state of mind that Bacon's character is in, his fixation with this haunting, and I love the shrug and look he has on at that moment, like Tch, silly kid 'thinks' he's helping. Movies to See Not new but I'm craving The Island of Dr. Moreau1996. Another one of those low rated films that was integral to my childhood and growing up, developing ideas and techniques for storytelling. Haven't seen it in years and seeing all these shirtless guys, I'm craving some 90's Val Kilmer in a skirt.
