WATCH DOLLHOUSE
You should watch Joss Whedon’s Dollhouse. Even if you think all he’s good for is making wannabe-goth teens quiver over brooding vampires. You’re wrong…well yes he does that quite well but that isn’t the point. Dollhouse is Whedon’s darkest offering yet. While he maintains the witty banter and quirky characters he’s know for, the premise is far creepier than any demon. Indentured servitude in the digital age has come a long way. “Volunteers†are housed in the Dollhouse, kept in a dreamy childlike state until they’re needed to act put someone’s wildest fantasy or embody a super soldier. The abilities and personalities necessary are downloaded matrix-style into their brains and they literally become the character, wicked kung-fu skills and all.
Once you get past the disturbing realization that every single character is a completely evil person simply for working for such an establishment, it’! The premise allows for different themes and genres to be explored every week and star Eliza Dushku is just as fun to watch playing a blind innocent infiltrating a cult as a kickass secret agent. The action of the week is always new with entertaining guest stars like Patton Oswald, but the subtle story arcs exploring the politics of the Dollhouse and the limits of the human brain are fascinating.
Over its short two year run Dollhouse started off small potatoes but brings it’s morally murky technology to a global scale. The journey from a story of playthings to the rich and powerful to post-apocalyptic digital mind rape is fantastically epic. And who doesn’t love a good mind fuck?-AS
WATCH PEOPLE I’VE SLEPT WITH
So if you’re anything like me the title alone made you go, ‘uh ok, down’. I figured there was a promise of softcore porn and mediocre funniness, so it was worth a try. Normally I’m not into Asians, but the main character in this movie is fuckin adorable in her ‘I’m a rebel’ attitude towards life. She’s got game, DTF, and knows how hot she is. She was my role model for the first 10 minutes of the movie, and then she got knocked up. She went living the dream to failing at life in such a short period of time, it made me want to turn of the TV completely, but I’m happy I didn’t.
The movie is a journey piece where the end of it doesn’t make you want to puke over how perfect the world is. In fact, it is a fairly accurate portrayal of how a single girl in her late 20’s will deal with the getting pregnant while dating. It pings awkward on the head and makes it endearing all at the same time. Watch it because it doesn’t follow the same romantic comedy plot lines that are out there… or for the unusually hot Asian men you get to see half naked, whichever!-MV
