Well ain’t that a bitch. The fucking download stopped at 94.7% and it’s not moving anymore. Hasn’t been for the past 24+ hours. Stupid fuckers stopped seeding the torrent. Might as well fucking delete it now. And i was so looking forward to watching it too.
So if you’ve been keeping up with the latest movie news, you’ll know that M. Night Shamalamadingdong has a new movie in the works. The Lady in the Water. About an apartment building superintendant who finds a rare type of sea nymph in the pool.
Sounds to me like a mermaid!
I like mermaids.
You know, Splash really pissed me off as a kid. I remember going frame by frame on VHS trying to find that elusive Daryl Hannah nip slip. It wasn’t until years later did i find out that she put flesh colored tape on her tits to hide them. And to think i wasted all that time slow motioning and frame by framing that damn movie. On VHS nonetheless. I blame the PG rating for the titty tape. CURSE YOU PG RATING.
Speaking of which, how in the hell did that movie get a PG rating? Titty tape notwithstanding, there was still bare boobs in that movie.
So anyway yeah, that movie i was downloading. It’s called Mermaid in a Manhole.
The story concerns a painter whose wife has recently left him. He devotes all his time and attention to his art, venturing into the sewers beneath his house in search of inspiration for his paintings, which all depict scenes of decay and disease. Once this sewer was a river, where the painter played as a child and where he once believed to have seen a mermaid. On one of his treks he realises his beliefs were right when he finds the mermaid, trapped in the stinking sewer. When the river ran dry, she explains, she was unable to get back to sea and hid in the sewer system. Her skin badly infected by waste and pollution after years of living in the sewer, she begs the painter to help her. He decides to take her to his house, where he puts her in his bathtub and proceeds to paint her.
Her condition worsens and after a while festering sores start erupting all over her body. Though both of them know death is inevitable, the mermaid asks the artist to document her decay in his painting. This he does and the bond between the two grows stronger as her situation deteriorates. When the sores increase, he adjusts his portrait accordingly, even when the infection turns into a grotesque mutation that covers her entire body. When he fails to find the right paint to truthfully depict the colours of her infections, she tells him to slice open the boils with a razor blade and use the abundantly flowing puss instead.
It’s a shame i’ll never get to watch it.
Isohunt.com has 4 of them on it… You are bound to have 1 of them work…

never heard of it. oh and i figured i’d try to play the 94.7% completed file. it worked! it kept skipping every now and then though. but it was watchable. totally cheesy movie. sounds a lot better on paper than it really is. but then again i did totally spoil the movie by reading spoiler filled reviews. so any element of surprise was totally diminished. worth watching if you’re REALLY bored and have nothing else better to do.
i gotta admit though, the movie is really really gross. i actually felt kinda nauseous at times.
a review and some screenshots here
i give it a 6 out of 10!

that. is fucking disgusting. Whoever did the makeup work for that film should be knighted, and then have their eyes gouged out Russian-style.

I’d hit it!!!
but it sucks that someone stopped seeding… I’m downloading born to fight (the successor to Ong Bak) but it’s stuck at 98.5%, the stupid thing is, I saw someone at 100% a couple of days ago but I don’t think he was seeding cuz noone was downloading from him.

Just thought I’d mention that Bryce Dallas Howard is set to play the mermaid in M. Night’s film. Yum.

Is this a rule of MKS films? … one actor MUST cross-over to the next film?? First Willis, then… not sure … did someone star in both Unbreakable and Signs???… then Phoenix, now Howard… I guess he bonds well with his casts… meh.

Angela Eckert was in both “Unbreakable” and “Signs”…
