the Weird Awards

Today's weird movie award goes to a 1997 flick called 'The House of Yes' w/ Parker Posey & Josh Hamilton as lifetime incestuous twins, who are obsessed w/ playing the parts of Jackie O. & JFK. (Their first intimacy playing on the day of his assassination.) Their father left the family/was killed by mom, on that fateful day in history. It all ends up as insanity for poor Parker Posey. Josh becomes engaged to Tori Spelling ( a fate worse than insanity, if you ask me), brings her home to his demented family, & all jealous hell breaks loose. Freddie Prinze is the 'slow' younger brother who gets to sleep w/ Tori, as his payback/penance while the twins frolic all night on the living room sofa.

This movie was based on a stage play & the conversations are just about as stilted & 'staged'. But holy moly, who thought this thing up in the first place?? It's like 'Deliverance' gone amuck. Some dark comedy should be left in the dark, I guess.

Ok.. I think I'll be alright after I smudge off the bad vibes from this one.
Happy Thursday!
