cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (love)

so, it was midsummer today. traditionally, you go to a bonfire the night before and then drink in the country. the local slashas are rebels, so we baked a pie (i mean, [livejournal.com profile] wax_jism baked it) and then watched two episodes of doctor who plus finding nemo, which is one of my favourite movies ever - i mean, like, one of my top five - and then animal factory, because when i enthusiastically mentioned it as a live-action version of finding nemo, chi and sugar were hooked.

when i say a live action version of finding nemo, what i mean is this: animal factory is a sweet and fluffy gay prison movie produced and directed by steve buscemi, in which edward furlong is a hot young man in prison and willem dafoe is the tough and competent guy who falls for him and takes him under his wing and does his very best to get him out of there. when i say gay, i mean explicitly gay, not just gay in the way that all prison movies are gay. i mean gay in that willem confesses his feelings, and there is some groping, and edward's initial cellmate is a transsexual played by mickey rourke who always wears a matching bra and panties, and false eyelashes. i really don't know why more people don't love this movie. the mental comparison to finding nemo makes it even more satisfying.

so i came away entertaining that imaginary story that i first thought up the first time wax showed me the film, you know, the one in which willem escapes - just like in the end of finding nemo. but without the plastic baggies - and gets to costa rica and he and edward are given half the parrot farm to run, and sent out into the jungle to clear a bit of land and build a rudimentary hut for them to live in while they build their own house, and they crouch in a shelter of banana leaves in a warm soaking summer rain, then cuddle for warmth as the wind cools them off, and edward is awkwardly, puppyishly affectionate. and eventually works out the meaning of that warm tingly feeling and convinces willem he's for real. i think there was more, but i don't remember it just now. i'm sure my thoughts will return to it in the next couple of days. whenever i see a willem movie, the enchantment lingers for a little while after.
