Hot Slut Of The Day!

The pigeon from Amour!

So I went to see the feel good movie of the year Amour last night and if you haven't seen it and are planning to see, just do what I did: see at a movie theater that serves lots of booze. If you can find a theater that has a wine tap right next to your seat so you can just guzzle down the sweet nectar non-stop, even better! I read a ton of reviews when Amour came out in the US and I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when I sat down in that theater chair, but it was still painful to watch and I couldn't have gotten through it without my best friend Pinot Noir (or Penis Yarn as I like to call him) by my side. Afterward as we were all walking out of the theater, some arty chick behind me said to her friend, "What a beautiful depiction of love," or something like that. While she was thinking positive thoughts, I was busy wishing that a tsunami of extra-strength Prozac pills would hit my mouth.

Anyway, during the movie, a really hot, scene-stealing pigeon makes a cameo appearance. The pigeon was obviously there for symbolism purposes, but my ass was just happy to see a dumb ass, attention whoring pigeon act like an attention whoring pigeon. Pigeons always have to invade somebody's personal space, but for once I was glad that a pigeon was invading someone's personal space. It was the closest thing to comedy relief I was going to get.

I read that the pigeon scene was shot 12 times and that Michael Haneke (director of my other favorite feel good movies Funny Games and The Piano Teacher) kept trying to direct the pigeon. I left the theater feeling depressed as shit, but I probably wouldn't have felt as depressed if during the credits they showed the bloopers from the pigeon scene.

And I can't wait to see what the Amour pigeon wears to the Oscars tomorrow!

What language is Mike Haneke's native tongue?

Piano teacher is French
Funny Games is Danish
The White Ribbon is German

I don't get it.

Also didn't this movie come out two years ago staring Julie Christie and directed by Sarah Polly?
------------------

Haneke is german. Piano Teacher is actually French/German/Austrian.

Now that you mention it, I liked "Away From Her".

Geez MK, what a douchy move, giving away the twist at the end. I haven't seen Amour yet, you fucking spoiled it for me.

I'm sure this movie is great, but I don't have the emotional fortitude to handle it right now. Plus, I don't want to mess up my mascara. :)

Sucky, didn't you like the part where skinny scabby Ed Harris falls off the windowsill? Or when Meryl Streep is molesting raw eggs?

<"The pigeon was obviously there for symbolism purposes">

Well I've always thought a bird flying in a house means someone's going to die. And when eating with Japanese never put your chopsticks standing in the rice rather than laying them down because that means someones going to die too. Don't ask me - I didn't come up with these.

UGH this reminds me of the life mistake I made many years ago seeing "THE HOURS" by myself at the movie theater. I should've jerked off to Julianne Moore crying in the car wanting to kill herself aka the hottest part of the movie.

suckandfuck, do us all a favor, and hang yourself. Oh, and your parents should be shot for raising a disgusting pig like yourself.

I would think Erika from The Piano Teacher would be more your style of Hot Slut, MK. That scene in which she tells her mother (while sharing a double bed with her, no less), "I saw the hair on your sex!"? I know you loved it.

This movie is freaking depressing. If you have ever watched a parent suffer and eventually die from the result of a stroke you would have to be a masochist to see it.

Mike: hahaha. Are you that cynical?

Michael Haneke is an evil genius.

I love the disclaimer that says "Offensive comments may be deleted." Obviously that is a mistake lol

Submitted by SoulTaker: "Bert loves pigeons."

How can three words make me laugh so hard?

Some asswipe feeds the pigeons near our building and sometimes they get startled and a whole flock of pigeons takes frantic flight. Middle calls this a "flapout", which makes me laugh every time she says it.

I love Michael Haneke if for no other reason than that he's even more cynical than I.

Amour is the type of film I feel like I should watch but I just can't bring myself to do so. Not that it even came to podunk NJ where I live.
