Dinner And A F$#@!& Up Movie

OK, so tumblr is a little hard to deal with for what we want to do…

So! We’ve made a blogger that will feed this tumblr, and all who want an RSS feed can go to http://dinnerandafdupmovie.blogspot.com/ and get one!

Woo!

Thanks all!

Cheers!

Welp, they can’t all be good.

The other night we watched Uzumaki (Spiral) and had roasted beef sammies with potato wedges.

This film is based on a pretty popular manga of the same name… basically a town is haunted by spirals.

Yeah, let me move on to dinner and we’ll get back to the movie in a bit.

We haven’t been around much for the past few days because of Halloween. Ron and I were pretty busy with Moogfest and just your typical Halloween revelry. We went as The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend; you can see our photo over on Dani Every Day  - I worked my tail off on our costumes and I think that translated into celebrating my tail off…  

But now we are back with a vengeance - well rested and ready for some crazy movies!

We’re starting back with Uzumaki…

They can’t all be good.

We’ve really gotten into this! We’re watching movies like crazy and I haven’t had this many ideas for dinner in a long time. Love love love that so many people are liking our blog. Thank you all for reading,

The other night we watched Julien Donkey-Boy. This one came from our collection, but I had never seen it and Ron couldn’t remember it, so we gave it a whirl.

Watch the Trailer

Dinner was a hodgepodge of things I had been craving: pumpkin bisque, baked brie, roasted beets and capocollo.

Recipes and reviews below.

For those who missed the first part of this post - the dinner and my review - here’s the linky! Part One of The Human Centipede

And now - Ron’s much anticipated review of The Human Centipede (First Sequence).

How many times have you caught yourself saying, “That guys deserves to have his mouth sewn to a truckers asshole.” Well that’s how the writer/director came up with the idea for this story according to his commentary.

I love a good gross-out movie, and this one did not disappoint. If you’ve read the synopsis, you know this is the story of an insane/talented surgeon who sews three people together by way of their anus’ to their oral cavities. Now, typically, I never condone going ass to mouth, but in this case I’m all for it.

This movie starts as your formula slasher film. Really stupid hotties making some equally intelligent decisions only to become trapped in the clutches of a maniac. What separates this movie is the hilarious yet creative surgery they are put through. A plus for the flow of the story line is that you don’t have to wait until the end of the movie to see the created monster. You get it about 20 minutes in and then the rest of the time you anxiously squirm over everything that goes with it. Once the beast is created the movie takes a twist and mainly focuses on the psychological effects of mutilation, humiliation, and domination.

I found the plot to not be overly generic as is the problem with most horror films. It had a few twists and a lot of me screaming, “What the fuck are you doing you stupid bitch?! Get out of there!” I especially liked the conversations this movie provoked between Dani and I - like which spot in the totem poll would you most like or dislike to be in and why, or how much pressure you think you would have to hold in your mouth so the guy in front of you can’t take a dump in it. I, personally, could talk about poop all day, but I’d like to keep the few followers we have so far.

So, without further a-doodoo, I gave this movie 3.6 out of 5 because it made me scream, squirm, and think… All with a shit-eating grin on my face (sorry - I swear that’s the last one). As for how f’d up you need to be for this one, it’s a light-hearted and fun horror movie; get your friends together with a 12 pack and break out the bubbler.

Thanks everyone and we’ll be back tomorrow with Julien Donkey-Boy.

Cheers!

Dani and Ron

We apologize for not having Ron’s review of The Human Centipede up just yet. It’ll be up today, we swear. Our internet in the cottage is kinda wonky and it just wouldn’t stay connected last night.

We can’t wait to move… One month!

Since our internet was wonkified, we had to pick a movie from our own collection instead of turning to our queue. Yes, we actually have a crazy movie collection with roughly 500 films and growing. The best was when Ron and I moved in together and we realized that we had so many duplicates… *Sigh* There really IS someone out there for everyone.

So, when our internet is down we usually take turns picking movies from our respective collections and trying to out-weird one another. Last night was Ron’s turn and he picked, “Julien Donkey-Boy.” 

Here’s the plot synopsis from Wiki -

The film is about a dysfunctionalfamily consisting of Julien (Ewen Bremner) a young man with untreated schizophrenia, his sister (Chloë Sevigny) who is carrying his child, his brother (Evan Neuman) and his domineering, German father (Werner Herzog).

Intrigued? You should be!

Also, WERNER HERZOG is in it! He makes my weird movie loving heart go pitter-pat.  

Dinner was a fall feast with pumpkin bisque, roasted tomato and beet salad, cappicola, and baked brie with apple butter.  

We should have a full review and recipes up later on today.

We really appreciate you all reading this and we love that we are starting to get comments and MOVIE SUGGESTIONS! It makes our day when we see messages about the blog.

This blog is something that we had been talking about doing for quite a while; it’s great that it is finally happening and people are actually interested. We didn’t really know if anyone would want “Martha Stewart Chainsaw Massacre,” but it seems that you all are digging it.  

Thanks so much!

Cheers!

Dani and Ron

Welcome back!

Ron and I outdid ourselves with this one… the film is pretty foul, and I think I was pretty clever with dinner, but we’ll let you be the judge of that.  

With this little film, we’re probably gonna lose a few of you. The Human Centepede isn’t for the faint of heart, but we swear they’re not all going to be this bad.

We knew what we were watching without even thinking about it. We’ve had the Human Centipede in our queue since it was showing in the theaters and we realized we had the misfortune of missing it on the big screen. It was really funny, actually, I saw someone had written in about the film to The Mountain Express, our local independent newspaper, and they said that it was “the most disgusting movie ever made” and then they rambled on about how movies like (The Human Centipede) shouldn’t be made and had no place… blah blah blah.  I immediately emailed Ron and said something to the effect of, “OMG we HAVE HAVE HAVE to see this!!!” I quickly received his response, “I heard about this movie and YES we HAVE to see it!”

We are so lucky we found each other. Sometimes, when I think about the terror I’ve inflicted on lesser men with my movie choices… heh.

So, we made plans to head to the Fine Arts that afternoon and quickly realized that it had just made its departure from there. *cry* But, it was already on Netflix waiting to be released! Into the queue it went and a few months later in was in our hot little hands!

Here is the Netflix synopsis:

After their car breaks down while in Germany, Americans Lindsay (Ashley C. Williams) and Jenny (Ashlynn Yennie) wind up at a remote villa — and soon find themselves trapped in a nightmare. Dr. Josef Heiter (Dieter Laser) kidnaps them for his demented experiment to create a human “centipede.” The plan includes removing their kneecaps so they must walk on all fours, then surgically connecting them to a Japanese man to create a bizarre human chain.

Sounds perfect!

I mulled over what to make for this film and I couldn’t quit giggling when I remembered one of the first things I learned how to make - Caterpillar Potatoes. Silly? Yes. Delicious and easy? Yes.

It was decided.

The Human Centipede and a cheeky little recipe!

This film has been called “the most disgusting movie ever made” and a “cinematic travesty.”

*swoon*

Can’t wait to see what the fuss is all about!

Cheers!

Welcome to the first installment of our little blog!

Last Friday was our first go at this, we knew what we were making (meatballs!) but we had no clue what to watch. Ron read out descriptions from the queue and one by one we nixed them… We needed something really good (weird) for our first venture into something called “Dinner and a F$#@!& up Movie.” I was in the kitchen cooking, Ron was snapping photos and giving me movie choices when I hear the “eureka!” come from the living room.

“I’VE GOT IT!”

Alright Ron, what are we watching for our first movie?

“The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes!”

Here are two of the descriptions Ron read to me:

“Dark fairytale about a demonic doctor who abducts a beautiful opera singer with designs on transforming her into a mechanical nightingale.” - IMDB

“After murdering opera singer Malvina van Stille (Amira Casar) onstage, thesinister Dr. Droz (Gottfried John) absconds with her corpse. At his villa, Droz enlists the help of the Piano Tuner of Earthquakes(César Saracho) in creating a performance starring the reanimated Malvina. Assumpta Serna co-stars in this haunting tale of obsession by groundbreaking fantasists the Brothers Quay.” -Netflix

Sounds great!

Now that the movie is selected, onto dinner!

Thanks for visiting and welcome!

Let us introduce ourselves - she’s Dani, he’s Ron. We’re two, fairly-typical, twenty-somethings and on any given night in our household, you can find us making something yummy and arguing over what movie to watch. But let’s just say that our Netflix queue isn’t as typical. In fact, we’re pretty certain that they put a lot of the movies we end up watching on there as a joke… or as a way to find potential serial killers.

We have weird tastes.

We watch all sorts of stuff - old movies, bad movies, really good movies, foreign movies, crazy, Japanese, what-the-hell-were-they-thinking movies, gory movies, funny movies, indie movies, musicals, anime… pretty much anything, really. 

We also make some pretty good food, and it isn’t as weird as our movies - rest assured. Some of it is simple, some is more complex, but it is all delicious.

So, what you’ll find here is: movie reviews, yummy recipes and funny pictures of us in our PJ’s.

If this sounds good to you, feel free to stick around, and we hope you enjoy our little blog as much as we enjoy eating and watching strange movies.  

Cheers!

Dani and Ron
