FYC: "Gory Hole" a.k.a. "Down-Low...": - Peter Dinklage stars against type in Terrence Malick's ponderous, post-modernist genre thriller, in which a psychopathic dwarf serial-killer sneaks into gas-station toilets through the window and uses his filed-to-a-point teeth to bite off the cocks of closeted truckers looking to get their usual anonymous blow-jobs through holes in the stall partitions - the unsuspecting victim then usually bleeds to death.

Idris Elba stars as the dignified black detective who tracks the insane murderer to his lair, with Vin Diesel in multiple roles as the pickled phalluses of the mad midget's victims. Based on Umberto Eco's longest work,"Piccolo".

James Bond - Rim of Tedium


FYC: "James Bond: - Rim of Tedium" - Following in the footsteps of last year's relatively unsuccesful "Modicum of Danger", this realist Bond outing sees the indomitable 007 feeling the strain of his thrilling life of espionage, having to stay up till two thirty every night for a month reading stolen corporate sales reports in a rented apartment in Indonesia, being nagged by his wife for missing the children's bed-times and having to queue in the British Consulate for hours like everyone else so as not to blow his cover.

Includes Bond's best gadget to date, an Aston-Martin modified by Q to run on cold-fusion and equipped with rocket-boosters and proton-torpedoes, which Bond has to use to bribe a middle-ranking civil servant into giving him a stack of industrial brochures being considered by Jakarta as part of the equipment procurement process for a hydro-electric dam.

Audiences will be kept on the edge of their seats, wondering to the last moment if Bond will manage to marginally increase a British engineering consortium's chances to participate in the project by arranging some back-handers to local officials...?

The priest they eventually call in exorcise the apartment on the 40th floor defenestrates himself after a night of the horrible moans, piercing wails and Cthulhoid gibberings, and it is left to a wise, spiritual black janitor (Will Smith) to help them solve the riddle... The trademark twist reveals that Yoko Ono has moved into the next door apartment and is recording her new album of classic Motown covers, and the only thing the couple can do to end their horrible ordeal is invest in sound insulation and construction workers' industrial grade ear-muffs.

Available in some theatres in non-Euclidean 3D and featuring a musical number involving an alligator-shaped piano and Stephen Hawking's computer singing the song "It's a cook-book!".

"There's a party in my pants and you're all invited!"

FYC: "There's a party in my pants and you're all invited!" - 'Bicycle Thieves' director and Oscar winner Vittorio De Sica's 1945 comedy about a perverted clown who travels the remains of the Italian train system, entertaining himself by molesting war-widows and stealing cured meat products which he shares with his dog Adolfo. Infamous for being banned by the authorities on account of its searing symbolic indictment of the preceding reign of Mussolini, criticism of the collusion of the Catholic church and its downbeat depiction of the American led reconstruction, De Sica laid the foundations for his later materpieces, but admitted in interviews that he had made some missteps in this proto-neo-realist lost classic: "La storia di base era buona, tranne per quel maledetto pagliaccio e la scena in cui il cane gobbe cadavere di una monaca!".

Owl-Fucker McGee's Strange Adventures In Time And Space

FYC: "Owl-Fucker McGee's Strange Adventures In Time And Space" - McGee's fanatical psychiatrist manages to have him sectioned indefinitely in a high security psychiatric facility, where he meets a Tesla-like fellow patient who has been filling notebooks with a demented scrawl outlining plans for a time-machine. McGee is intrigued and purchases the designs off the mad Nobel prize laureate for a packet of Sovereign cigarettes and a Mars bar, before completing his inevitable violent escape... with the aid of himself, having come back from the future.

Now assured of time-travelling success , McGee gambles all his reserves on building the machine in an attempt to win the big prize: a shot at fucking the largest owl that ever existed: Ornimegalonyx, the extinct Giant Cuban Land Owl. After briefly popping back a week or so to rescue himself from Broadmoor, McGee sets off for the Caribbean of a long, long, time ago...


This could prove to be McGee's most challenging expedition yet, however; not only is the time-machine fucked on arriving in prehistory (due to the lack of essential GPS satellites for its guidance systems), but McGee finds to his cost that Giant Cuban Land Owls are not only highly intelligent social predators, but also highly perverse sexual predators to boot... has the hunter finally become the hunted?!
