Goth winnowing

BRAIN: Chuck and Buck
SAMIR: saw it
SAMIR: Mike White said it was all based on him thinking about what would happen if one friend grabbed another’s dick while they were in the bathroom
SAMIR: thoughts?
BRAIN: I liked it
BRAIN: creepy yet sweet
BRAIN: I’m finding that is a genre I like
BRAIN: like May or Kissed
SAMIR: May!
SAMIR: I loved that
SAMIR: I liked Kissed a lot too

BRAIN: Victoria Victrola and the Vaudevillians have a song called Zombie
BRAIN: which has a million verses
BRAIN: it’s about a zombie outbreak and the narrator falls to a zombie, her bf leaving her behind
BRAIN: then as a zombie she finds him and bites him in revenge
BRAIN: what do you think of that story idea
SAMIR: interesting… is there an ending though?
BRAIN: presumably they wander around together in undead bliss
SAMIR: hm
SAMIR: that’s not revenge then
BRAIN: no, it’s the genre we were talking about earlier
SAMIR: sweet/creepy
BRAIN: yes
SAMIR: reminds me of the New Year’s Day episode of Fear Itself

SAMIR: the scripts weren’t well done
SAMIR: and it got a low audience
SAMIR: so [I consider] this idea still available

BRAIN: I would love to make a creepy sweet movie
BRAIN: like something that will winnow the true goths
BRAIN: like “in my day the real goths had dead animals around their rooms!”
BRAIN: none of this perky emo bullshit
BRAIN: my friend Danielle, who I met at a film festival when she was working in PR for a startup, is a total Grown Up Goth
BRAIN: and sure enough when I visited her house she had all this dead shit on the walls
BRAIN: she sort of sheepishly admitted she’s always had a thing for taxidermy
BRAIN: I was in awe

Velcro Ninja

The fastening is made from perforated steel strips 0.2 millimetres thick, one kind bristling with springy steel brushes and the other sporting jagged spikes.

Metaklett can support maximum weight when pulled on in the plane of the strips, and a square metre can hold a perpendicular load of 7 tonnes, says [Josef] Mair.

OJ: steel velcro!
BRAIN: I bet if you wrapped it around a stick and hit someone with it their skin would rip right off
OJ: i’m sure it will be in some japanese gore movie with that use soon
OJ: VELCROOOOOO NINJAAAAAAA!
