Wednesday!

The above photo sums up Joe D'Amato's 1980 film Antropophagus quite nicely (and for the curious, that's a man chewing upon his own intestines). I hadn't seen the film in about eighteen years, back when late-night cable television made one's weekend all the better. Considering the period in which it was produced, the film isn't too bad, although the violence poured down viewers' throats in the final thirty minutes hardly makes up for the preceding mediocrity. Another factor that inhibits enjoyment is the lighting; being that a large portion of the film takes place indoors, at night (or just plain old at night), you'd think that D'Amato would elect to make things a bit more visible. I mean, sure, pervasive darkness is realistic, but a realistic scenario the film is not, quite frequently, you just can't see shit. Still, there are much worse films to waste ninety minutes upon, and watching a man consume several pieces of the human body has undeniable intrinsic value.

Speaking of food:



Firstly, I think we can all agree that Taco Bell is the apex of culinary excellence. That said, take heed of 0:13 in the preceding video, and tell me, in all honesty, that people are meant to eat a taco like that freakish prepubescent girl does quite readily. I take that request back, partially: convince me that anyone, besides the mentally unstable and/or horrendously intoxicated, would choose to do anything so outrageously idiotic when in the presence of a signature Taco Bell item. Even if you hated Taco Bell -which is impossible, given that you're of sound mind- you sure as hell wouldn't condone that shit.



In other Wednesday news, I've been informed by an unnamed source that wrapping one's naked body in several layers of Saran wrap would result in considerable dehydration, followed by a (probable) loss of consciousness. This is the kind of stuff I want to know about.




Wednesday!
