I like to let movies take me for a ride. I can suspend my disbelief so well that I can justify even the most outlandish breaks in consistency. It takes a lot to pull me out of a movie's world, and even when directors explicitly remind me that I'm watching actors on a screen, I happily adjust my viewing framework to fit the new position. I believe every special effect like the eyewitness account of a nun.
But if I could change one thing about movies, I would make depictions of vomiting more realistic. Know what I mean? You're watching a movie, and you're totally in it, dude, and then some character walks unsteadily to some railing and spits out a mouthful of clam chowder. Bullshit! What, are we children? We don't know what puking looks like? I'll grant that there are different kinds of puking, and that ONE of those kinds may look like a dude spitting out a mouthful of soup. But most of them look more like a brief burst of sewage from a powerful hose. Yes, I have thrown up a lot, so I know. My weak stomach voids itself at the first twinge of nausea -- none of this brave fight to keep food down. I learned how to throw up my senior year of college, when a girlfriend showed me how to get the spoiled chicken wings out of my body and put an abrupt end to my agony. Vomiting is an awesome tool. Actually, a more awesome tool would be some soft rubber fingers on a stick that you could use to induce vomiting in a more sanitary way. Okay, I just invented it! It's called the FingerStick! And the slogan is: "Don't feel sick -- FingerStick!" Hm. That may need some work. Anyway, I'm getting off track here. Special effects can do anything except make an Eddie Murphy movie good. So why can't vomit be given its due in the age of digital filmmaking? I WANT PIXELS OF ROPY HURL. This is the stupidest thing I've ever written. I should be digitally removed from your consciousness. 0 comments |
