Okay, in the interests of keeping myself distracted until bedtime, I finally broke down and cracked into possibly the most frightening portion of the 'cheese tray' sent to me by
m_masque as a Christmas present: The Calamari Wrestler.
Folks, this one really has to be seen to be believed. As a long-time fan of professional wrestling, kaiju films, and parodies, I figured this one was going to be a simple farce film and that would be that. Not hardly. There're at least five different layers of puns and physical innuendo at work here; if you watch certain scenes carefully, the cleverly placed visual sushi jokes are everywhere.
In fact... this one is so ODD that it doesn't even score on my 'Worst Movies' list.... there's an actual multi-level plot at work here, much to my astonishment. The question is how to get my friends to sit down and actually WATCH this one. Well, puppy'd probably watch and laugh with me without any elbow twisting, and diddle's apparently already seen it, but I'm not sure mousie or bunbun would be up to it. Maybe if I promised rubber toys for good behaviour? I'm going (it seems) to have an income again... (if that makes no sense, go look at my last post. It's been a chaotic day, trust me)
I have SO got to make an icon out of the 'squid on a stepper machine' sequence...
And now I go to bed. I hope.
