  1. Not entirely sure what this was. George Takei as the voice of an evil rubber duck monster. Amanda Tapping spending most of the time in the bath. Kristen Kreuk as a robot duplicate who talks to the computer via Rs232 cable plugged in -- Somewhere. Billy Boyd as the paranoid captain. And Robin Dunne as the new guy mechanic.

     

    There's weird interdimensional travel and just a lot of the characters being strange. A lot of fun, but totally off the wall. I assume it's Canadian.


  2. Yes the movie does give out this message, but as I wrote I'm not sure it's just because he was "all about her pleasure."

     

    I think that since Noah is a psychopath the way he leans in to her pleasure makes it still all about him because he's just ~so damn good~ at getting her to orgasm. So that makes him feel like more of a man than her husband because he got her to that point. It still has nothing to do with her.

     

    That is, essentially, my point. Combined with the fact that movies so rarely focus on female pleasure, the one time it does is because the guy is crazy. Of course, she never really consents, either, so that's in line with standard Hollywood depictions of sex.

     

    I see what you mean, though: Consider "all about her pleasure" more of a figure of speech. The character is obviously only concerned with himself. I was really more focused on the message sent by the film makers and what they were depicting with that scene.

  3. He was all about her pleasure, so naturally he's a psycho. That's one of the big, wrong messages of this movie. It's not hard to draw the conclusion that the movie telling you that female sexuality and pleasure is wrong.

     

    This has the most complicated age of consent algebra since Crazy Stupid Love (The babysitter has to be old enough to send nude pictures to the dad without it being child porn, but then she maybe passes those photos on to the son). We have to go through hoops to make the boy next door legal, but then, is hardware store girl legal? And if so, does that make her too old for the son? Makes that Transformers movie where the guy has a laminated copy of the age of consent law (even though the daughter in the movie is of age in the jurisdiction the movie is set in) seem simple by comparison.

  4. A crazy movie, but the best part is an exchange of the form:

     

    "Say, what are you doing here?"

    "What are you doing here."

     

    Which prompted us to start responding to every sentence starting with Say as though they were commanding us to say whatever followed the word Say. We made our own fun.

     

    (Nothing to do with the movie, but anyway)


  5. I think I thought when I was a kid that Encino was kind of like Jurassic, like a time period in history. I couldn't believe when I found out that it's literally just a neighbourhood in California. Makes absolutely no sense.

    Right, but that's how they name them. Neanderthal is also named after a place. They are named after their place of first discovery. The joke is how pedestrian a place it is to make such a discovery.
