Body remix

So, I really want to go see this show by the Compagnie Marie-Chouinard. I was first showed in 2005 and is now getting a second showing for a limited time. Unfortunaley, I doubt I'll find the funds or a friend in time to go so instead I've watched the YouTube videos like 5 times. I find it completely mesmerizing. As a classically trained dancer I love love LOVE when the traditional genre is mixed with contemporary and even distorted or broken down to a most simplistic yet exploitative level. I think you may have to really appreciate dance/art in order to fully "get" this as it is quite different.  But it's also a commentary on the human body, so if you're human, you might enjoy it. The show is complete with bondage, prosthetics, flexible bars and harnesses. It's a great piece but, in my opinion and that of a few critics that I've read, its the female dancers (who are BEYOND talented) that stole the show. I can't seem to find part 4 but here's the 3 first parts:

"Teeth"

Just watched a moved tonight and it was one of those movies you expect might be awful but turn out it's kind of amazing. It's a dark comedy/teenage revenge/ horror film about a teenage girl discovering her sexuality and also that she has teeth in her vagina. You read that right, teeth in her vajajay. I know it sounds like something you should skip but, it's not it was actually a great movie. It's got some really good laughs, tongue in cheek moments and just the right amount of gore to make it a winner.
