ah, max, with his chainsaw out again...

Think of this...the movie not only confronts the audience by its title character being deformed; there's also the scene where Mr. Merrick is caught masturbating by the nurse. Several other scenes also highlight the basic creatureliness of human nature, and several, in turn, show the nobility and long-suffering of human character as testimony to the power of the will. If that's not cimema designed to engage & challenge the viewer, then, I'm sorry, I don't know what is.

Cameron Crowe tried to utilize some of these elements & spice it up with some action & some stars with Vanilla Sky. It's an okay movie, but of course that one is a train wreck compared to the artistic qualities of David Lynch's The Elephant Man.

The movie (& play) ??? reportedly
made Michael Jackson want to buy Merrick's remains.
hee hee hee
Concerning dancehall, I've written about Beenie Man a couple of times, but yeah, not much discussion.







he probably wasn't the easiest chap to hang out with...

I didn't notice that either, but I remember that part, but I'm not sure he was masturbating.

If he was masturbating, was he using his good hand. If he used his other one it would probably crush his penis.

Elephantitis would be terrible to have. In fact, I was on the same medication that they use to treat people with elephantitis. The Elephant Man introduced me to the cruelty of society since I was only 7 or 8 years old when I saw it.

What would you people do if you had a child who had elephantitis?


If I was around when Merrick was, I would be his friend.
