Of blood and cornflakes ....

Today was amazing ...

RATLINE is in it's final days of shooting, down to pick ups and what have you.  This is always my favorite part of the shoot, you know you have it in the can and now your getting all the fun shots! The pressure isn't as extreme and everyone seems to be having a better time.

Well today Eric was shooting some stills for the movie. I don't want to give to much away but these stills are going to used as sort of a documentation in the movie. And people are headless in them ... and naked. They needed more bodies so I offered up mine.

I spent the early part of my evening covered in blood, dust, cornflakes, and dead spiders ... all on a basement floor! Because I was "dead" my body was contorted all weird too. I fucking love what I do. The worst part was the cold which seems to be a common problem on this flick. The basement was very chilly and the bloody bits felt like ice ... I couldn't stop shaking! Good thing this was just for stills. 

Back in October we shot at an abandon school house ... down in it's creepy boiler room! I mean this shit was straight out of Nightmare On Elm Street. So anyways my character gets rather bloody (naturally) and I have to do this part where actor Jason Christ grabs my hair. Now normally hair pullin' is no problem for me but Jason had blood all over his hands, so my hair got stuck to his hand! Having your hair ripped out does not feel good ... but I used the pain for camera and we wound up with some great stuff! After the shoot was over, I still had about a 45 min. drive home so I wanted to clean up. But there where no showers and the only running watter was ice cold. So they gave me a little pan of water and rag to clean myself with ... while I stood naked in a boiler room .... a very cold boiler room. Ah but it's all good! I wouldn't have it any other way .... okay well maybe some better heating.

STAY DEAD!

Happy LOVE DAY !!!

Greetings SCARS fans!

Now I know some of you truly hate this "made up Hallmark" holiday. But I am not so pessimistic. Anything that celebrates overindulgence (Christmas, Disney World, ect.....) fills my black little heart with joy!

So in honor of Cupid's birthday, I give you my official Valentines Day must see list:

NEKROMANTIK, 1987. Directed by Jorg Buttgereit

If you have the stomach for it, this is truly a beautiful love story. A personal favorite of mine!

KISSED, 1996. Directed by Lynne Stopkewhich

Not as extreme Nekromantik but it does come dangerously close to ripping it off. Still I enjoy this movie for it's sentiment.

TRUE ROMANCE, 1993. Directed by Tony Scott

An amazing movie that I'll be watching as soon as I'm done with this blog! If you're really cool you'll run out and get the tattoo.

**********************************************************

I could go on but this should get you past today :) 

If you still haven't got your sweetie anything yet, stop by the Wicked Pixel store!

STAY DEAD!

Whatever happened to Saturday night?

An all time favorite film of mine is THE ROCKEY HORROR PICTURE SHOW......

 I grew up in a very small town with even smaller minded people. Those of us who thought outside the box where offered little escapism.  ROCKEY HORROR was a big part of our lives. We watched it in each others homes, on 13 inch screens, off of worn in VHS tapes.

I remember one viewing at my house ended with a inspired 16 year old boy racing upstairs to dress in my clothing and heels. This movie made us feel safe. It made us feel free. That's hard to do in "village" of around 1,500 people. I had always heard about the viewing in theatres. People dressing up, throwing things about ... it sounded amazing.

Now I know the midnight showings once played a huge part in films original success. But when I finally lived in a bigger city, that had an organized showing, it all felt a little past it's expiration date.First of all you personally couldn't dress like any of the characters ... that right was reserved for the "cast". They literally yelled at people dressed like Frank-N-Furter and Rockey. Then the stellar "cast" recited lines like they where saying prayers in a church. Everything was very orderly and stiff.  - Two words that should never come to mind regarding this film.

I came away feeling the magic was lost. Where was freedom? The craziness? The creepy sex in the corner? Not at that show. 

*sigh*

I've never gone back to a showing since. I'm sure there are way better ones out there, I just don't think this kind of thing does it for me. Maybe I respect the movie too much. THE ROCKEY HORROR PICTURE SHOW is magic. Whenever I've had a bad day, the soundtrack makes me feel better. I still enjoy watching it with a group of friends at home and it still inspires certain male friends to dig threw my closet. That's how it should be enjoyed. That's what it was made for. 

STAY DEAD !
