One Orgasmic Ending, one Orgasmic Opening
A few weeks ago I saw John Waters’ latest flick, A Dirty Shame. This movie ended with Johnny Knoxville achieving an orgasm to beat all orgasms (he levitates!), The movie screen is then covered and dripping with a white gooey substance and the movie ends.
Last week I won free tickets to the advanced screening of the latest Child Play movie: Seed of Chucky. The showing was last night at the Loew’s Boston Common. This movie began where A Dirty Shame ended…with the same male-derived white-gooey substance oozing down the theatre screen. Interestingly, John Waters (the director of A Dirty Shame) was an actor in this film.
Anyway, I went with my friend, David, and the place was packed. Based on the hype I’ve heard for the film (that it was campy), I was expecting a predominantly gay or college-aged crowd. Nope. It was mostly African-American families with a few college kids and gay folks thrown in for good measure. It was so shocking to me that people were actually bringing 5 year old children to this movie.
In addition to the spermtastic opening scene there were some gruesome murders (stabbings, beheadings and even a rotting by sulphuric acid). My favorite, though, would have to be spraying a can of hairspray over a lighter and engulfing Jennifer Tilley’s assistant in flames. But in addition to the violence, the overall premise of the movie was Jennifer Tilley using her sexuality to play Mary in the rapper, RedMan’s, movie about Jesus. There are some hilarious (yes, campy) scenes of Chucky masturbating and then showing the cup filled with his, um, efforts. Then the Tiffany doll is shown using a turkey-baster to impregnate Jennifer Tilley. Did I forget to mention that RedMan was disembowled at the dining room table?
I did enjoy the movie for being so bizarre, but I just question a person’s parenting skills for bringing young children to this movie. The father of the large family sitting beside us would talk at the screen loudly (and he wasn’t the only one doing so). And I don’t think any of his exclamations exluded profanity (preferring the f-word). Lovely. By inheriting Daddy’s intellect and wit, I’m guessing his well-adjusted kids will be the class clowns when they get to prison in a few years.
Oh, and today’s Matt’s birthday! So, go to his blog (link at upper right) and wish him a happy 45th!

Yes the sperm traveling up the fallopian tubes and the movie emerging from the darkness of the womb was memorable.
I agree death by hairspray was the best. The only thing that would have brought this movie any lower if we saw Chucky spurting his doll juice into the cup.

Thanks for the warning. I’ll stay home, thanks.
