Wow,I must say the genius of "Eraserhead" was well worth waiting five hours for it to download.
I must say after watching the film it got a couple of scene that will stay with me forever.Like this one incredibly disconcerting scene in which Henrys future-father-in-law asks henry "well,henry what d'ya know?" smiles,and henry says "oh,I don't know much of anything" and this father-in-law just stares at henry with this smile for a FULL minute,it's very quiet a the shot changes a few times,at one point the camera has the father in law front-and-center and the mothe rin law walks into the room from behind and address henry but all you can focus on is this stupid mans silly grin.and he just stares and stares.it's really creepy but also really funny.
and of course there is the baby,the centerpiece of the film,a bandaged mess of a creature.Like Mary (the mother) says when the baby is brought up for the first time "they're not even sure it IS a baby".The baby is obbviously an intregal part of the story,it's getting sick and constant crying and not to mention how it ends up becoming the Identity of Henry,himself.very,creepy movie but also terribly clever and even funny at times.
There is a lady in the radiator in henrys apartment,she sings and dances and her song "in heaven everything is fine" is short,sweet,creepy and sad.her appearance is much the same as she has the large growths on her cheeks like a massvie caseof the mumps,but she ends up being Henrys escape from his industrialised,lonely nightmare of a life.
anywas,yeah,if you ever get the chance,and you're not easily revolted,I DEFINATLY reccomend watching the movie.

Game rules taken from www.everyrule.com
Kiss The Axe
Where to Play:
Preferably outdoors as the game can be messy.
Age:
Responsible adults,or children with supervisors
Number of Players:
3 or more
Equipment Needed:
Axe, Blindfold
How to Play:
"It" is blindfolded and made to swing the axe around,The rest of the players then stand in line and are one-by-one given the chance to try and "kiss" the axe.if the player misses or gets hit they must retreat to the back of the line and give the next player a chance.If someone succeeds in kissing the axe that player then becomes "it".Last person standing wins.
Actually this isn't a real game.duh....
I was trying to come up with something to blog about because it's been a long while.So I decided to post the rules to my new faveorite game.
Dean (or college and career leader) mentioned the game "kiss the axe" and one of my friends started laughing but the rest of us remained dumb until one of us asked "what's that?"
So yeah,Dean invented this game and I think it's a very clever idea.I was saying that it's a greta idea because it's seems like it would be fun but the first thing I said was "I wouldn't play but I might watch,until the first person gets hit then I'd puke".I don't know the whole idea makes me laugh,it seems so tempting,the idea but it's insanely impossible to play this game responisibly.
but the name is very good too.it's a well-rounded concept.
