Compliance - A Lesson to be Learned from this Shockingly Brutal True Story.

So I watched the movie Compliance last night.  What, the fucking, fuck!?!!!  This is a NON -EXAGGERATED  story based on real life events. And after looking into it, the film version is actually LESS shocking than the events that unbelievably transpired!!!

The story goes that this chick was basically working in McDonald's (or ChickWich for the purpose of the film version.) when she is called into the manager's office after a guy claiming to be a cop calls, saying he's on the other line with head office and that he has a woman with him saying that this chick has stolen money out of her purse earlier that day at the restaurant.  He then asks the manager to check her pockets, then purse etc. to look for the money.   

From then on out his orders get more and more shocking, outrageous and perverse. From being strip searched to eventually being ordered to give the managers fiance a fucking blow job! I mean...again...what the fuck!?!  What this poor girl went through was nothing short of outright disgusting and completely degrading.  Viewing this, you're thinking the whole time; why the hell did someone not actually use their fucking brain and ask questions!?!  

The whole time the girl was begging to leave, and for them to let her go.  But she still complied with their requests, purely because this guy on the other end of the line said he said he was a cop.  The only two dudes who actually told the guy to get to fuck were a young fellow co-worker and an older maintenance man.  This girl was pretty much sexually assaulted and humiliated.  Just because some guy on the end of the phone claimed he was a police officer...a figure of authority.

I think that what sickens me the most about this story is that it's TRUE, and it was committed by SOBER and supposedly sane adults.  I've done a lot of stupid shit drunk in the past, but this is just sickening.  And it's the fact that this guy got away with this shit on at least 70 cases in around 30 states!!  I mean, what the flying fuck balls!?!!?!!!  Where were the fucking so-called adults in this story.....what fucking idiots!?!  The girl in question immediately went to the police and after 3 years in therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder; eventually went on to sue McDonald's for millions.  You can find out all the gory details of the full case at good old Wikipedia.  And whilst I don't trust Wiki as a credible source of total information, it does feature lots of links to ACTUAL articles as well.

 Several people were charged, but due to lack of evidence, the sick prick behind the whole thing, 37 year old David Stewart, he got away with it.  Since the trial, the calls have stopped.  Incidents similar to the one depicted in the film happened at several McDonald's, KFC and Taco Bell amongst other places...usually small towns in the middle of butt fuck nowhere.  After raiding Stewart's house, they found applications for the police force, along with loads of police type shit.  Basically this Corrections Corporation of America worker was a police force reject who wanted to command a position of authority.

Just knowing what I've been like from, ummm...previous encounters with the law, I know for a fact I would have questioned this.  If I've done something, I'll admit to it.  I once got told by two police officers in Plymouth that I was "too cute to be in jail" after a stupid student prank got me a night in the slammer.  When asked next day if I wanted a solicitor, I said no - when asked why - "Because I did it!!"  I then did say I was possibly away to go out and commit murder of the person who got me stuck in jail for the night, to which I was told "well that interview would be slightly longer."  Haha.  The "too cute to be in jail" comment came after they told me I was lucky it was a quiet night and that I got a cell to myself as there are a lot of bad people out there, and that I wasn't one of them.  I just did something rather silly.  And most criminals don't keep the tools of their crimes in an Alien from Toy Story bag.  True to my dorky nature, I still got about 5 officers talking about The X Files as I was getting checked in before being led to my cell.  #XPhileForLifeYo

Anyhoo, on this other occasion in Arbroath, an incident with my boyfriend pissed me off and so I downed a bottle of Tequila.  Fast forward about an hour or whatever later and I'm coming round in the back of a police car.  Instantly I start screaming "let me out!!".  They told me they were just taking me home but after realising I'd quickly sobered up they finally agreed to let me out to walk the rest of the way...I was almost there anyway.  The last thing I had remembered was him falling in Keptie Pond due to being completely cunted; and then the next thing, I'm in the back of a police car.  The next day I saw that my elbows and knees were covered in cuts and scrapes.  All I can figure is that I fell over, knocked myself unconscious, then the police went past and picked me up.  I'll give them their due; they let me out.  Probably figured what's it worth the extra paper work.  Because if Hot Fuzz has taught us anything...there's always a lot of fucking paperwork when you're a police officer person.  ;)  In that situation it was fine as I was disgustingly sober when I came round...but that's not always the case.  I'll be the first to admit that did give me a bit of a fright...and I felt like a bit of an idiot.  What's life if you don't make an utter twat of yourself every now and again though!?! ;)   

Still, even then I questioned what I was doing there.  The only reason I'm sharing this story is as a lesson that it doesn't matter what state you're in, or what happens...always question authority.  Always make sure they're for real.  There are some sick fucks out there who will take advantage at any given opportunity.  

Don't get me wrong...I am a sick, twisted fuck.....however I believe that such perversion should be facilitated on those who actually "deserve" it.  It is always wrong when an innocent suffers.  I would love to think there's a Frank Castle out there protecting us all...but that is not the case.  Clearly!!

At the end of the day, don't be fucking stupid.  ALWAYS question authority.  Everyone makes mistakes.  And don't just accept that someone's a cop because they say they are.  Badge number bitches!!!  Just try to be safe people.  I know coming from a train wreck like me that's a bit of a hyper-statement; but still, remember there are bad people out there...and in reality, real life bad is nowhere near as sexy as Jax Teller kinda bad.  Then fucking with people is entertaining.  And super fucking hot!! Ya dig?  ;)

Pictured above, the moment where Jax finally kicks the utter fuck out of "Ima Cunt!!" in Sons of Anarchy.  A scripted moment of ficitional violence against women that I was literally cheering at.  And to be honest, I don't know one feminist female who wasn't cheering along with me.  Haha.  This is fiction though...the events that inspired Compliance were not.  Unfortunately.  

Rex Gets Super Scary in Toy Story of Terror!!

ER.MAH.GERD  My Rexy is getting a Halloween spin off in Toy Story's new TV spin off...EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!  Toy Story of Terror - could it get any cooler!?!!!  Mooooahahahahahha.  ;) 

NERD. GASM. Jeremy Renner AND Christian Bale in American Hustle.

Okay so holy moly, fuck me sideways.  Two of my ultimate most favourite actors ever are in a film together.  Jeremy fucking Renner AND Christian fucking Bale!!  Words escape me.  This is freakin' Batman AND Hawkeye.  EEEEEEEEEEEEE.  

This is pretty much nerd porn if you ask me.  Dodgy suits and all.  Haha.  This is from the wicked awesome director David O. Russell, who everyone nerds over Silver Linings Playbook...which I thought was alright, but not as amazing as everyone kept saying!!  To me, this is the guy that did The Fighter, and more importantly, I Heart Huckabees.  Check out the trailer for American Hustle below and let me know what you think. :) 

Bearing in mind, this is two of the single greatest actors of our time...and the sexiest!!  I love these guys more than I can ever express and to say I'm nerding about this flick is a total understatement.  BWAH!!  

And just to be gratuitous...here are a couple of pics of them both looking at their finest.  Moooahahahaha.  Both looking beautiful...and then super hot, Morley style!! ;) 

Sexy Christan Bale.

Even SEXIER Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman!! 

Sexy Jeremy Renner in one of my favourite pics of him from back in the day. 

Even SEXIER THAN SEXY Jeremy Renner as Jeffrey Dahmer. 

Ooh, and here's an extra added Renner pic showing his love for the Batman!!  BWAH!! ;)  Enjoy. 

Sons of Anarchy Season 6 Set Pics Reveal the New Vice President and it's...

So, the first Sons of Anarchy Season 6 set pics are out and my little beady eyes noticed a new patch on the cut of a certain Son.  As I was on my phone I couldn't be certain as the picture wouldn't let me zoom in, so instantly I got my Basil the Great Mouse Detective hat on and got on my laptop to investigate.  Sure enough, my suspicions were correct, and after Bobby handing in his VP patch at the end of Season 5 due to the way Jax handled Clay (despite how brilliant it actually was!!), it was time for a new VP to step up and become Mr Teller's right hand man.  Personally I don't actually think this reveal is a big surprise as I've been saying all along that he's clearly the man for the job...but it's still totally rad for it to be official now.  :)  So just who is the new VP??  I'll give you a clue -

"I've always been there, and I always will.  I love you kid."  

It's the prodigal Scot, CHIBS!!!!!!! :)

No other club member other than Tig understands what Jax has went through since Opie's death, and Chibs really is the best man for the job.  I think it was this moment that sealed the VP patch though.  

 As for Sergeant at Arms, after everything that happened last season, I really hope that Jax decides he wants Tig back in that role.  I think he will.  

James Wan's The Conjuring Looks Super Creeptastic and is Scaring up a Fright at the MPAA!!

"Before there was Amityville, there was Harrisville."

 James Wan is a director that I absolutely adore to bits.  The first Saw is one of my most favourite films ever.   Death Sentence is an absolute underrated cracker of a film!!   Dead Silence and Insidious are both wonderfully creepy flicks with a beautiful old school feel. Like Saw beforehand, Insidious did so well commercially that it has inspired a sequel, again written and directed by James and his partner in crime, Leigh Whannell.  The fact that Insidious 2 is still in the hands of James and Leigh, I am particularly looking forward to it!!  :) Before Insidious 2 is released however, we have another super creeptastic offering from Mr Wan, The Conjuring.

(Pictured above - James Wan with the real life ladies of The Conjuring - From Left to Right - Cindy Perron, Lorraine Warren and Andrea Perron

Based on a screenplay from twin brothers Chad and Carey Hayes, writers of the rather awesome House of Wax remake, The Conjuring is based on the case files of world renowned American paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren (pictured below) after they were called upon to help a family terrorised by a dark presence in a secluded farmhouse.

It's funny that I'm known as the torture-gore guy, SAW aside, I've been wanting to make PG13 horror films since my 2nd movie, Dead Silence!  Haha.  Scary PG13 movies that can scare the shit out of you without the reliance of blood/guts (like action films without explosions and car chases) are so much masterful and harder to pull of.  ~ James Wan

The first trailer that was released was a major tease, and definitely creepy as hell.  The second gave a bit more information about the film and the Warren's and gained extra kudos from me for having Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man playing at the start of it.  You can see both trailers below and join me in getting nerdy for the return of the Wan'ster in a film that would make Mulder and Scully proud!! :)

Alongside Pacific Rim, The Conjuring is definitely my most anticipated movie of the summer.  :)

You can keep up to date with the movie on Facebook and Twitter and be sure to support such an awesome flick when it comes to a cinema near you this July 19th!! 

Two Evil Dead Reviews you Have GOT to Check Out!! Lianne Spiderbaby's Episode of Fright Bytes and Heather Seebach's Viewer Discretion Advised!!

So with the new Evil Dead away to hit theatres, there were two people in particular whos views on the film I was really looking forward to hearing.  Those two ladies would be two of my most favourite chickaroo's in the horror~verse, the lovely Miss Heather Seebach and Lianne Spiderbaby!! 

 Heather (pictured above with her hero Sam Raimi, the god behind The Evil Dead series!!) is the biggest, most hard core Evil Dead fan I've ever come across.  Trust me, this girl knows her Book of the Dead. :)  A few months back, when everyone was getting doing the usual pre-release bitching and slagging off, Heather decided to speak her mind with her Ramblings of an Evil Dead Geek rant, a rant of epic proportions that I totally advise checking out.  Anyhoo, Heather got the chance to see the film early and her thoughts are in, you can read her review here.  Let's just say, it's got me pretty darn excited!! ;)  

With Heather already seriously peaking my interest in the film, a kick ass episode of Lianne's web series Fright Bytes put the cherry on the top of my sweet and very bloody cake!!  Bwahahaha.  :)  This is one of my favourite episodes of Fright Bytes that Lianne (pictured below with grindhouse Goddess Sybil Danning!!) has done, I absolutely love her. 

Please do be sure to check out Lianne's awesome nerd~tastic review below.  After a bit of a break it's great to have Fright Bytes back, and I'm really looking forward to new episodes now that Lianne has relocated to L.A. 

Heather and Lianne have got me all psyched up for this new entry into the Evil Dead series...are YOU!?! :)

Girl Songs to Slash Your Heart Open To!!

So whilst writing away, finishing off a bunch of Women in Horror posts I've been working on, I started thinking of songs to fit my mood.  A lovely dark path then ensued and I figured, why not share some of my favourites from this selection of gore~geous female fronted bands.  

First up, we have Jack Off Jill (singer Jessika Adams pictured above) - Strawberry Gashes...a song that I have pretty much played to death over time.  I found this wicked video online to go with the song, very horror~ific and pretty rad.  There's nothing prettier than the site of blood running down pale white flesh!!  

Next up...My Ruin, doing a cover of Nick Cave's Do You Love Me.  A song that suits Tairrie B's voice down to a cup of tea on a Sunday afternoon.  Okay, fuck the tea...let's just go for the red wine and cigarettes instead.  ;)  

Like Jack Off Jill and My Ruin, Queen Adreena are a band I've long been a fan of and FM Doll is just an absolute fucking cracker of a song.  In fact, when I first read the script for Jen and Sylvia Soska's American Mary, I totally wanted Tristan Risk's character Beatress Johnson (pictured below) to strip to this song.  I'm now going for my own personal strip tease from Little Miss Risk...I'm sure she's that good that she could do it on cue!!  BWAH!

 

For You I Hold My Breath, from Katie Jane Garside's solo project is the complete opposite of FM Doll, the sweet sound of painful melancholy.  

After her painfully tender side...let's go back for some more Queen Adreena and beautiful screaming...Pretty Like Drugs indeed. 

Another band from that time that I absolutely relished were the Aimee Echo fronted Human Waste Project, Drowned was a particular favourite track of mine. 

Now for some of the uber hotness that is Christina Martinez...a woman who used to grace my walls.  Boss Hog were totally rad in the fact that it was Christina and husband Jon Spencer...a potent combo if ever I heard one.  

Fuck it, now I'm back in the 90's, had better get some Garbage...oh yessss!!  The moment I saw the video for Queer on MTV (yes, back when MTV was actually decent!!), I was in love with this fellow Scot!! 

As much as I fucking love Queer, I also have to give kudos to what is possibly my favourite Garbage song - The Trick is to Keep Breathing.  Perfect song to be depressed too...and I have the old flatmates to vouch for me on this.  Hi James, Ben and Bex!! *waves*  :)  

One of my ultimate favourite self indulgent songs is by the queen of self indulgent herself...of course I'm talking about that musically brilliant, more fucked up than 110% of the rest of society, Miss Courtney Love herself.  That song would be Miss World, by Hole.  And when someone comes home to find me sitting in the dark drinking a glass of wine with "I'm Miss World, somebody kill me.  Kill me pills...nobody cares my friend" blasting away...I realise just how depressively self indulgent it actually sounds.  

On a happier note...Echobelly's Dark Therapy, a song I associate with drinking in the Fishies when I was younger..then hanging out in graveyards with my best friend Nadine.  Oh Dark Therapy...I love thee greatly!! 

Whilst speaking of my darling Nadine...another band we both loved was Veruca Salt.  Volcano Girls is a wicked track.  And when it was then featured on satirical high school comedy Jawbreaker, it developed even more totally fucking rad~core awesome memories.  Oh Rose McGowan....you devil you!! ;) 

After Jack Off Jill split, gore~geous lead singer Jessika Adams went on to form Scarling.  My favourite song of theirs is a close call between Baby Dracula and Crispin Glover.  And let's face it...name me a horror~ific female who doesn't love Crispin Glover.  Haha.  ;)  So fuck it....here's both tracks.  Because they're both fucking awesome!! 

My second last song, WOW...the first time I heard this...it felt like my heart had been ripped into a thousand pieces.  This featured as the end credit song on the Dahmer soundtrack...a film about my favourite serial killer, and starring my future husband, Mr Jeremy Renner.  EEEP!!  It was totally rad that years later I actually became friends with one of the amazing women behind the score, and actually interviewed her for this very blog a couple of years back...an interview you can check out here. 

And lastly, whilst not a girl...he sure likes to wear more make up than most women, and horror darling Rose McGowan is fucking AMAZING in this video.  Oh, and it has Tiny from House of 1000 Corpses/Devil's Rejects in the video...and I love Tiny!!  I've listened to this song an unhealthy amount of times, and it shall be played at my funeral.  Because "All the drugs in this world, won't save her from herself!!"
