Courtesy of Jasmine’s pet tiger Rajah, we’re easing ourselves into the post-Halloween season—that bizarre holiday interregnum known as “November.” So finish noshing on that discounted candy and join us for these (still pretty Halloween-centric) links:
- Cinema Fanatic, a friend of Pussy Goes Grrr, interviewed Jesse Hawthorne Ficks, curator of the SF-based movie series MiDNiTES FOR MANiACS. The results are must-read. And may help restore your faith in cinema.
- Want to see popular Hollywood movies zombified?
- At last, a website helps us out by answering the question, “Is rape funny?“
- The NYT has a pretty cool look at the process behind amusement parks’ Halloween attractions.
- Homemade They Live masks!
- Here’s a Diabolical Diagram of Movie Monsters.
- Despicable: Spirit of Halloween DESTROYS and throws away their merchandise instead donating it. Fucked up.
- Finally, I contributed to The Mike’s True Heroes of Horror poll over at From Midnight With Love. While you’re at it, read the rest of his “Heroes” entries—they’re damn impressive and showcase everything we love about the genre.
Since this is the 50th-ever Link Dump (wow! 50!), we decided to celebrate through search terms. Here’s the deal: every single day, we receive countless hits through searches like “[actress’s name] pussy.” This happens with a lot of actresses. So, as our gift to you, here’s a list of a few dozen actresses (and other, sometimes fictional people) whose names have been repeatedly searched for alongside “pussy” (or “cunt,” or “twat”):
- Winona Ryder, Sarah Polley, Faye Dunaway, P.J. Soles, Hermione Granger, Carrie-Anne Moss, Rita Hayworth, Melanie Lynskey, Tilda Swinton, Helena Bonham Carter, Julianne Moore, Catherine Keener, Sigourney Weaver, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Winslet, Sandra Bullock, Abigail Breslin, Isabella Rossellini, Teri Garr, Annette Bening, Nicole Kidman, Vivien Leigh, Amanda Seyfried, Emma Stone, Katherine Hepburn, Anna Faris, Jesse Eisenberg, Agnes Moorhead, Janet Leigh, Lily Tomlin.
No searches for Terry Gilliam? I got a search for “terry gilliam naket pussy.” This wording insures none of those clothed Terry Gilliam pussy shots will clog up the results for this savvy searcher!
I also thought you and your readers might be interested in David Lynch’s new techno album, which is currently streaming free on NPR’s website: http://www.npr.org/2011/10/30/141598329/first-listen-david-lynch-crazy-clown-time. I listened to it for fifteen minutes; can anyone go longer?
The redundant porn search terms people use really baffle me. I don’t know how those searchers think Google works, but I can assure them they’re wrong.
I’ve been antsy about Crazy Clown Time since news of the project broke, and especially since seeing its cover. Might give it a listen at some point, but despite my love for Lynch’s oeuvre, it really doesn’t appear to be up my musical alley.
I like Jesse Eisenberg but its funny that he is the only male name in that list!
What a varied grouping of women…
