Trillsters,

Imma hit y'all with (Volume 1 of) Lars von Trier's latest film.  It is allegedly part III of von Trier's "Depression Trilogy" preceded by Antichrist and Melancholia.  I really wanted to see this in theaters but Houston only had it for like 1 week.  It got mixed reviews but I feel like even von Trier's failures are entertaining.  I thought I would push the boundaries with TMN even more after Blue is the Warmest Color in my attempt to gradually change TMN to a hardcore porn-watching movie night group.  Just kidding (maybe).  But, for real, the raunchy scenes apparently used some kind of special effect where the actors' faces were digitally grafted onto other people's bodies who are having unsimulated sex.  Or maybe other people's genitals were digitally grafted onto the actors' bodies.  Either way, people will be doin' it.

118 minutes

DC afterwards for those who are so inclined.

This was posted on Facebook today from the show I've literally been waiting a year to screen for y'all:

"The final episode of THE VAULT is 98% shot and we're quite deep into the post-production process. Clocking in at over 20 minutes long (and counting), it will be our longest episode ever.
We'll update with a premiere date as it gets closer, but rest assured, it's on its way."

So I went back and totaled the time of the existing videos and it hits approximately 170 minutes, which is almost 3 hours. If you add the 20+ minutes of finale to that we're getting pretty long for one movie night.

I don't want to step on Rory or Bjorn's toes since their turns are coming up, but whenever we can find a time to slither me back into rotation, I'd like to have y'all over at our new place to watch what we'll call PART ONE: ENTER THE VAULT and watch about half of the programming. This would also herald my (and maybe sometimes Brittany's) ability to attend more movie nights.

Then, when they finally put out the last episode and it comes back around to me, we'll finish the second half of the series.

Thoughts?
