Hello Nurse - You're Neat Basics
twisted

i think i've settled with the fact that i like really twisted, demented, even painful movies....

i was watching HBO last night and flipped into a movie with maggie gyllenhaal. i stopped simply 'cause i like her (i do that a lot...). either way, turns out she's a troubled girl who just got out of a mental hospital for cutting and burning herself...and it turns out her boss is a masochist as well. not like...cutting and burning and stuff but just really kinky stuff but without the sex....very weird. i really enjoyed it :)

did some reading up on her. she's the older sister of jake gyllenhaal of donnie darko and the moonlight mile (both movies i really liked)...interesting dynamic between the two of them. their parents are rich....the dad's a director of some sort. this movie, called 'secretary' btw, was kind of her breakthrough role...got lots of attention when it was first released at sundance. but yeah, masochist (she's 23 in the movie), full frontal nudity (heh, yeah she's hot), weird, WEIRD shit....a lotta people thought it was a balsy move for her but it turned out for the best and she's been really popular since.

ironically her boss in the movie (james spader) is the same guy in ANOTHER twisted movie i'd mentioned earlier called 'crash'. the ironic part is that i watched that one because of an actress named deborah cara unger (sp?)....it was on IFC. in that one...they're both masochists but they're obsessed with car crashes....so they keep getting in car crashes and swinging with other car crash victims....so fucked up, but lotsa fun!

then there's requiem for a dream which i couldn't tear myself away from.

oh and IFC is having a 'twisted christmas' special soon. apparently there's a bunch of movies out there that just aren't your typical christmas movies. i'm there :)


i think living a sheltered life makes me feel kind of deprived? that's fucked up. i still adhere to the philosophy that i can't be comfortable unless i'm a little UNcomfortable....keep me based in reality. maybe this is part of that....

hmm...i have a final in two hours. i'll watch fucked up movies later.
