he film industry is in a never-ending dialogue of complicated discussion and debate, ones that question what counts as cinema and what doesn’t, or ones that evaluate ways spectators consume film to locate the most ideal. When observing discussions on film in very recent years, a topic that has been the core of a mass division among academics and everyday fans is the dispute of whether or not we can separate art from the artist when consuming and interpreting films.

guy on the cover looks like kirk from star treck
There is a little boys skin I would love to live in……….or under
Muscle bound dude wearing cowboy boots and cheetah spandex put the ground and pound on his brand new virgin creation….
Good movie! I kinda thought they were going somewhere with the skin that’s immune to heat tho. It’s clear to me the tranny ends up with his unattainable lesbian crush at the end. Spoiler alert
that’s not revenge, more like upgrade. revenge would be turn IT into an insufferably ugly beast like whoopi goldberge or joy behar.
The book is good. They changed the story so much when making the film to the point where you can watch it without spoiling the book.
this film really got under my skin
that dude sorta looks like me…?
possibly the most effed up revenge movie plot. this is how you get revenge. turn them into a chick then fuck ’em.
