I love you back, Irrational Films. And I don't care WHAT my parents say, I'll run away if I have to, someplace far far away where they can never find me: because if they won't let me love Irrational Films they way I need to then, well, I don't even want to live.
(slap!) "Don't you EVER say that, Murder Party!"
(rubbing cheek) "It's true, Momma! I love him and his new movie 'Downsized' and if you and Pa won't allow this marriage, I...I'll drown myself in Criggy Back Creek!"
"But baby: he's another horror-comedy! It's against God's will for two horror-comedies to love--"
"BUT IT LOOKS FUCKING AWESOME!!!"
"DON'T YOU DARE USE THAT LANGUAGE IN THIS HOUSE, YOUNG LADY--!"
"I HAAAAATE YOU!!" (slams door, runs off crying into the night)
But seriously: we oughta do a double-feature screening some day!
Well that's not necessarily a bad thing; Severance was a good flick. Let us know when it's completed and we can do a review or something. Best of luck to you.
Hello my MySpace chum. I've been putting my own new website together and would appreciate any constructive criticism from anyone that has the time to look at it.
I have only completed the front page at the moment but the rest will follow shortly once I have found some more inspiration.
