Quint at Sundance, Day 3!!! Steve Buscemi in DELIRIOUS!!! Vagina Dentata squirm-fest, TEETH!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with some thoughts on the first few films I've seen today. I started the day with:
DELIRIOUS
Directed by Tom DiCillo (LIVING IN OBLIVION) and starring Michael Pitt, Steve Buscemi and Alison Lohman.
Pitt, the lucky bastard in THE DREAMERS, is a homeless young man who falls in with Steve Buscemi's character, a "professional photographer" (read: paparazzo in denial) and learns the ropes. He learns how to sneak into parties, where the goodie bags are and who will bring big money when photographed.
Alison Lohman plays a famous pop singer who is a prime target for Buscemi, but through an odd twist of fate, ends up stealing Pitt's heart and vice-versa.
I loved Lohman in MATCHSTICK MEN and am greatly looking forward to her in Robert Zemeckis' BEOWULF. She's great in this, giving the character enough innocence and sweetness to keep her from being a typical stuck up privileged bitch. Pitt also plays an innocent whose dream is to be an actor, but he doesn't have a backstabbing bone in his body. The system is bound to chew him up and spit him out, right?
I think there might be something in Michael Pitt's contract that requires he has some sort of sexual bathtub scene in every movie he's in. He gets a handy in HEDWIG, he shares his nakedness with the ravishing Eva Green in DREAMERS and he has another bathtub scene in this one.
In a weird synchronistic bit of coincidence, David Wain, the director of THE TEN, the last movie I saw last night, is an actor in this, the first movie I saw today. He plays a total Hollywood type, Lohman's yes-man assistant.
Also in the cast are Gena Gershon and Kevin Corrigan in bit parts.
Buscemi plays such a great scumbag... leave it to Buscemi to make you like a paparazzo. How he makes that character sympathetic is beyond me, but he does.
The flick itself has a great flow to it, then the third act starts and everything goes wonky. Not necessarily in a bad way, but it really feels like a different movie. I personally liked it, but I can see how that'd be too big of a tonal shift for some audience members.
All in all, I recommend the flick. Even if the rest of the movie was awful (it wasn't) the movie would be worth a watch just for Michael Pitt, Alison Lohman (and the brilliant decision to keep her in a bra for most of the movie) and Steve Buscemi.
TEETH
Okay. Up front. This movie's about a teenage girl who discovers she has a biting pussy. And it's not in the Midnight series, but the Dramatic Competition!
This screening was packed to the gills. It seemed the plot synopsis picqued some interest as the screening was filled with Industry and press, so much so it looked like they had to turn people away.
For people complaining about Sundance not showing any no name, quality productions, this flick is for them. It was shot in Austin (go hometown!) and looks like they used mostly Austin talent. The film looks like a million bucks, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was much cheaper to produce.
Basically, you're following a pro-abstinence teen girl who comes to discover the real reason she's against teen sex.
Surprisingly, there's very little nudity and they do tell this story with a straight face, although there are a half-dozen moments where they deliver on the gore and exploitation promised in the plot.
More than likely you've never heard of Jess Weixler, the leading lady, but she comes out of the gate swinging, carrying this movie and giving a sort of human side to this crazy premise. Of course she's attractive, a beautiful blonde, and if this were a Troma movie that's all that would matter.
I don't want to make it sound like this movie's a straight up drama. It's still a bizarre movie about a girl with a mutation in her cooter. You get gore, you get nudity, you get severed cocks and bloody penis-stumps. Just try to imagine that movie, but where the exploitation isn't the focus. It's there and it's prevalent, but it's not the only reason for making this film.
I'm sure you'll see this one pop up. It's too crazy to disappear.
Now I'm only a few movies behind. I have 3 films left in Day 3. Be back soon!

brace yourself.

I love you but such language might be inappropriate to children or professionals visiting this site. please edit your title or Mori will do it for you.

Little pig, little pig, let me in!

Isn't there a joke concerning a farmer's daughter with teeth for a pussy. Think the punchline was some dude who was warned not to go near her saying 'no thir, I didn't touch her'.
-
and incredibly tedious.
-
They just have to market it right.
-
I think va-heenas with teeth are sexy. All you have to do is coo the teeth into being your friend and then they won't bite your junk off. Tickle her taint a little and make the maw purr and its yours for life. That's the problem with these guys who think they can just straight fuck a Vagina Dentata, no patience whatsoever. You got to love that toothed cooter first...like woo the girl and then woo her fanged hoo hoo. I like to fuck dangerously.
-
"Penetration Angst" was its name. But "Teeth" sounds like the better film.
-
... seriously. Get over it. The more you harp on it, the more you're pissing me off.
All I did was ask you guys to move to the appropriate forum and stop spamming that particular talkback with off-topic stuff. And now I'm going to read days and days of this? Stop it. -
to vagina, it sounds more child-friendly if ya ask me. I mean what little kid dosnt like to play with a pussy?
-
and in actual fact I was quite angry with the mongols in Civ4 because their keshiks were whuppin' me. hey its a rainy saturday in houston, what do you want from me?trust me man, I'm over it. you're 100% right about the content. I will say that the zone has some really strange people, relatively speaking of course.
-
"Squirmfest," is better than "Sausage-fest," I guess.
-
a vagina with teeth. Good to see these old legends aren't lost. They just don't tell fanged vagina stories like they used to. Oh, wait, didn't they write something about Steve Buscemi early on in this article? Who cares...unless he has a fanged vagina, of course.
-
Keep 'em coming Quint ya lucky boy
-
I mean I hear Redford told Bush a thing or two about the planet, etc. I also hear Lane Myers made a flick about Iraq. If it weren't for Sundance, certainly the world would be a different place... wait a sec.
-
They shut it down,we cried,made our point..Mor was doing his job, we surely must not dislike him for doing what he was told. I like Mor's reviews, and we cannot blame the messenger. And yes we know you are scared in the zone...that sh*t is like lord of the flies,meets people under the stairs! even AICN has a "seedy" underowlrd organization...have you checked out the one they call "kirk" *shivers*

My post was in reference to Green Jello's "Three Little Pigs" video. Nothing to do with farmers, jokes or razors.

pop quiz: Maynard James Keenan from TOOL was one of the piggies in that song.

its the strangest place on earf. help a brother out. kiko has us in some odd parts. not even sure how to get there. yack knows. drop him a line for directions.
-
I mean who the hell came up with a bitting pussy. That is just the most fucked up, crazy, wierd, and brilliant thing I have ever heard.
-
...no big deal, I'd rather get a chicks pants off and find teeth on the vag than find something else dangling down there...Now that's a real life horror show.
-
DAM YOU ROB ZOMBIE
-
You should probably read more. This has not been a new concept for, oh, a few thousand years.
-
But on topic and in conclusion, vachinko dentatas are hot. Gates of Hell hot.
-
So...I'm sort of new here, don't keep up with movies nearly as much as I should, and am sort of out of the loop. So this is the first I've heard about this movie. My question about this movie is why would I want to watch a movie about dicks getting bitten off by a vagina with teeth? Is that supposed to be funny or clever or somehow necessary? I mean, why would I want to see this movie? Is there any reason for me to go to a movie about dicks getting bitten off by vaginas other than to see dicks getting bitten off by vaginas? Is there actually a REASON for this movie, or is it just an excuse for having dicks being bitten off by vaginas?

Saw her in a bikini - that thing was like dental floss

Dental floss I tell you!

you could drive a truck through (hoo boy)

You could tell Lucas was going through a divorce when he came up with that.

Just tickle the taint though and those babies retract.

"EAT PUSSY"
He just for the "ing". -
Don't watch that much Japanimation but I think it was called 'Wicked City' or something from like 20 years ago. I think it had a chick who bit off the guy's willy and grew spider legs (maybe I've got some 'Thing' crossover here) and pissed off up the side of a building or something? No tentacle sex for her I guess!
-
Does he do the voice of her pink taco? I assume if it can have teeth it can have a voice as well.

Here's a hot Brittany Spears photo to excite the fellows. Look at that hottness! http://tinyurl.com/22xfgd

I first saw that video you mentioned, which is a mighty fine memory you have for something that's so old, at "numbers" which was houston's premiere concert joint "club" in the 80s and some of the 90s. anyway, I did see it and the images are BURNED in my mind. it was horrible. to think the Japs came up with that means the effects of the two a-bombs are much more far-reaching than anyone's willing to admit.And ORIONSANGELS--that's not brit is it? relatedly, did anyone see her cooter pics? that was THE worst thing I've seen in some time.

Clit in the throat ---> teeth in the vag.
-
"...comes out of the gate swinging..." Quint, it's either "comes out swinging" (boxing), or something like she was on fire "right of the gate" (horseracing). Your twisted metaphor conjures images of horses on hind legs with boxing gloves on their front hooves. Of course, that sounds like a new mascot for AICN.

He's showing that stupid one up and away crap again!Delirious sounds like something I may check out, if only because I like Buscemi. Only the Surfer's cosmic balls could withstand the fury of the chomping vagina!
-
I'm a v-e-e-e-e-rrrrry slow typer..
-
in the Apache legend (I'm almost positive it's Apache now) the guy takes care of the fanged vagina by putting a stick or something up there to break the teeth off. Can't front on the ingenuity of the native peoples.
-
in regards to vagina's with bite.
