I love it when people make snap judgements on a person's writing style based on titles of stories that someone else wrote.

11-23-2006, 12:29 AM

i wish i hadnt done that thing where i deleted all my posts when i had access to masons admin name

there might have been some good ones i forgot about, you know what i mean?
all i did was copy some old posts and slap titles on them
its pretty efficient

Trotskilicious · 11-23-2006, 12:30 AM

Well even if you did post your own titles, it's kind of retarded to judge a whole essay on the title. I mean I guess that's what you do when you're a 15 year old hipster.

the problem with mcsweenys is the same as the onion
most of the stories dont live up to the title except for michael ians black billy joel one which is unfathomably hilarious especially if youre like me and you dont like michael ian black

im hoping mine reverse this and the bad titles are made up for by the content

Maan, me too! The kid filming it smelled like chickesoupsweat, this one girl wore tacky clothes and looked like an ostrich and then this spanish girl one of those types like maybe liked ROCK music and wore REBEL shirts.
..that's who they were freal, not like they did it for the video, so I just lied about a make up test and got outta there!. :thumbs down:

I like Michael Ian Black so I should probably find this hilarious.

Karl Connor · 11-23-2006, 12:34 AM

11-23-2006, 12:43 AM

alex why is my writing cruddy all of a sudden
you said i was one of the funniest guys here you know

Cell Tech · 11-23-2006, 12:49 AM

i couldnt be less of a hipster if i tried. and im not unhip in a hip way either

i like seans posts here, but those titles are slathered in irony and modernism

Trotskilicious · 11-23-2006, 12:51 AM

I dunno, you seem to categorically reject most everything that is even remotely popular.

11-23-2006, 12:55 AM

its not really ironic
maybe theres some postmodernism involved in it, but the titles are really just completely matter-of-fact "this is what happens here" because im not really creative

Operation Midnight Climax stars Will Keenan as Will Nitch, a man on a mission to achieve a transcendental tantric sexual experience - a sustained orgasm.

Will Nitch begins his quest by endeavoring to reattach his foreskin, in the hope of regaining full sexual sensations. (Google if you're clueless).

"Will is not well," proclaims his ex-lover early in the film, whose apartment he nearly destroys later.

Will begins to assemble a Secret Society of Women: women are, afterall, pivotal in helping men to reach the cosmic blue lights (sustained orgasm). Will wants all the women for himself, and with help from all the women in his life, and his friend Chip, he plans a midnight tantric sex party, during which he hopes to climax to the point of reaching those mythical blue lights.

Will tells his aforementioned ex-lover, "Sexual ecstasy will be used as a stairway to new levels of power."

He also hopes that by forming a Secret Society of Women, he will end a worldwide plot against women, created by men, to keep women inferior and excluded from politics, the elite, et al.

Will's endeavors send him on a pratfalling odyssey through New York City, Manhattan, and the East Side, where he risks his life every chance he gets to entice women to his tantric sex party, and to avoid being followed by the Men In Black (men in secret societies), whom he believes are out to stop his plans.

Will consumes himself in his sexual desires and paranoia, and suffers a climax that sets him free, albeit at a high cost.

Will Keenan ingeniously weaves the magical world of comedic Keatonesque vaudeville into OMC by scaling high rise buildings, traffic lights, a door, and a big plant, allowing himself to be hit by a car and dragged by a truck, and flinging himself down several flights of steep stairwells.

Also *******d in the film is a chaotic amalgamation of images that pay homage to New York's potpourri culture: the camera gives us quick glimpses of a Masonic Hall (secret society!), Oliver Stone underwear, Religious Sex (infamous clothing store), Hindu graffiti art, a life-size alien mask, bike messengers, wild clothing, and other anomalies indigenous to New York.

The cinematic magic of this movie lies in the technical processes Will Keenan used when filming and assembling this jewel. By using Super 16mm, the images are gritty, real, and rough, and the colours are slightly abstracted by natural sunlight; however, the motion remains continuously smooth and unwavering, and the scenes flow together homogeneously. This creates a documentary-style feel to the film, and leaves the viewer wondering, "Was that real? Who was acting?"

Mr. Keenan has much more than Satan Inside. I hope he continues to make films according to his own unique sense of cinema.
