Things I Shouldn't Be Thinking About At Work, Part I



Here's a private window into the mind of this young scientist. For no apparent reason I've been trying to come up with the worst sounding situation imaginable. I mean, you walk by whatever scene this is and you're instantly driven stark raving mad for the rest of your life. And I've got something good, although highly implausible. Fran Drescher is chained to a jack in the box that will explode if she stops cranking it. The damn head never pops up though, so the tune is left without resolution for hours on end. The only way she will live through the day is by convincing Macy Gray to cannibalize Mario Cantone, both of whom are also trapped in this room with her. It's like of like No Exit, but with way more jokes about faggots and Jersey. So there you have it. That's what I think about at work. Back to the tissue culture room....

Oh my god - that is amazing
 
You were watching Saw, right? I dont know who Fran Drescher is but thats a pretty horrifying scenario (the dead homeless person is worse). Speaking of Saw, how soon do you think that genre of movie will reach its logical extreme, ie, actually bringing an "actor" to your living room and making you disembowel him with kitchen cutlery?
 
I was actually sitting in a biosafety level 2+ room processing infected blood. But I was thinking about Saw. Check out Slate's end of 2005 movie wrap-up for some thought-provoking hypotheses on movies like Saw and Wolf-Creek. Interestingly enough, Saw II was apparently the most profitable film of the year. As for logical extremes, http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060131/REPOSITORY/601310366/1227/NEWS95
