I'm hungry... for LOVE!

Last night, I saw David Cronenberg's first feature-length film, SHIVERS, aka ATTACK OF THE BLOOD PARASITES, aka THEY CAME FROM WITHIN. It's about a parasite that's part aphrodisiac, part venereal disease, and it causes mindless, uncontrollable sexual desire in its host. Imagine SLITHER if the slugs caused zombie incest rape orgies.

I blame you, Canada.

You're just jealous of our zombie incest rape orgies.

ALL the countries are jealous of out zombie incest rape orgies. Every time the UN delegates get together it's like, "Oh, there's Canada with their zombie love slaves. Jerk."

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Oh my Girlfriends in Canada, with your zombie incest rape orgies. Although the parasite was spreading so fast, I don't think you guys have slaves at all. It's just one great big fuckfest.

Frankly, at this point I'm amazed there isn't already a band called ZombieIncestRapeOrgy, because really, there should be.

I think it would be something of a challenge to bill.

"Tonight at the Cobalt! Zombie Incest Rape Orgy!"

... actually that kind of sounds like standard fare at the Cobalt. Never mind.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Ha! Knew it!

Shoot, if Panic! At the Disco can have their long-ass name, so too surely could a superior band such as Zombie Incest Rape Orgy.

You would say that, considering it began to consume Montreal at the end of the film.

There was a Law & Order: SVU episode about that. You don't need parasites for uncontrollable incest orgies - just a brain tumor that's hitting the sexy part of your brain. Of course, that's never enough with Cronenberg.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Yes, not enough flesh manipulation for his sensibilities. Really, SVU would be a much better show if Christopher Meloni just grew a vagina on his stomach and began open-wound-fucking Mariska Hargitay as Ice-T's jaw melted off.

Just sayin'.

[demonfafa.livejournal.com]

The thought of anything like that happening to Chris Meloni makes my wife very sad.

Ditto goes for me as far as Mariska Hargitay is concerned.

THEY CAME FROM WITHIN is the horror evolution of the sexpollen concept.

And I approve, in a very feebed out way, because IT SHOULD BE HORROR.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Oh, so you've seen/heard of it? Yeah, horror really is the word.

I've still been thinking about that damn film all day, and part of me is glad it wasn't an X-rated film or published in Avatar comics where EVERYthing is permitted, no matter how fucked-up, because... oh god.

Did I seriously see two near-naked little kids on leashes, acting like dogs?

It's amazing, this film managed to skewer both puritanical sexual repression AND the "free love" mindset. That's kinda crazy.

[eliyes.livejournal.com]

I've heard of it, and been told about it, largely in a "you never want to watch this ever, and this is why" fashion. Plus it was reviewed to hell and back in the local free weekly news.

Ah Shivers. I caught it one night with my buddy Allan and I believe by the end we just started cheering "Rape! Rape! Rape!" whenever we saw a non-infected person. Good times....good times.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, you've seen it? How is it that I'm far more disturbed by this film than you? Shouldn't be right, man.

[themadhatter26.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I feel like I told you about this at some point. Ah well. Anyway, as far as you being more disturbed than me, the only thing that really bugs me is cannibalism. Stuff like Shivers is fine, especially if there are plenty of tits and Italians to make fun of. I'm a simple man.
