A Fox in Heat

So, it's storytime, ya'll. When Absinthe and I were heading toward Florida for our cruise, we had to stop for the night at a motel. I think it was a Red Roof Inn. Could be wrong. It's been a month since then. Anyway, we were already horny as fuck. We'd been driving all fucking day through Texas (good riddance) and Louisiana (great food) and part of Georgia/Alabama (I'm an English major; I don't do US geography). Anyway, we were horny as fuck. When we got to our motel room, I cleaned out and took a shower. And then, being barefoot in our room is when I noticed it. The floor of the room was completely covered in oil. Like dirty grease. It was bad. Could we have requested a different room or a clean room? Probably. But one complication. We were horny. So...we had kinky sex on the gross-ass floor. We started out with some musk play. I do like his sweaty underwear after a day or two~ Obviously, it got me pretty hard. Then, we moved on to some ora...

Holy fuck, we finished the silent horror films. I can be a normal fox again. So, we barreled through the rest of the 20s over the weekend and Monday. It was a wild time, and it was so draining. We couldn't watch any movies yesterday. But as usual, I'll give a short review of each film, and I'll discuss Sin's and my favorite at the end. 1925 The Phantom of the Opera: So apparently, the author of the novel had a strong hand in helping with the writing of this show, which is pretty impressive. They had someone who worked on art design for the Opera House helped, too. This was a Lon Chaney, Sr. film, and he did a great job. It's interesting looking at how his own makeup design worked from Hunchback to this film. I had read the book, and I've seen the recent musical film (which I had issues with), but I think I liked elements of this movie way better than the musical one. It made the Phantom more realistic. It focused more on the criminal elements of the Phanto...

Fuck silent films. Now that that's out of the way, Sin and I started the 1920s in our horror film series. By this point, the vaudeville elements of the old horror films are practically gone. However, this decade in its entirety has been tough. Each film is silent with odd orchestral soundtracks and are each between 90 and 120 minutes. All the same, some have been pretty enjoyable. Some have been a lot tougher. As usual for these posts, I'll give a couple-sentence review of each one and then list Sin's and my favorite at the end. 1920 Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: This version was interesting compared to the 1910s version. It was full-length, so that meant we got more story. But it still seemed a lot more religiously pedantic than the previous version. It played off the romance elements a lot more, and the special effects were noticeably better. We got more of the "sin" aspects, and I saw elements of Dorian Grey with the treatment of a fatherly figure to Jekyll ...

So, at this point, Sin and I have lived together for a month, and it's been pretty frickin awesome. But I'm also way behind on this blog. Basically, there was a week where I flew down to help Sin pack up the car for a move up here to Michigan, we went to Florida on the way for a cruise, then drove back up to Michigan! This involved a few fun hotel trips and lots of ocean sex, BUT this post will be part of a series covering the whole trip, and it covers just being in Texas. To start, when I flew down, it was during a poetry reading Sin had. It was kind of frustrating because the flight was supposed to arrive well before the reading. I was super friggin excited to see Sin read because it was his send-off reading. But flights got delayed, and I landed when his reading started. I said fuck it and got an Uber over to his reading, rather than waiting for him to get out. I also didn't tell him I was going to do this~ So he was hella surprised! One of his friends got this picture...

For those who don't know, Absinthe and I are going through a spreadsheet of horror films sorted by year. With each decade (or half-decade soon), I write a blog post here, summarizing and partially reviewing the films and sharing our favorites with you! The 1910s finally started to get away from the slapstick / vaudeville of the 1890s and 1900s. Some of these were genuinely a bit creepy, too! We started with the 1910 Frankenstein. This was fucking bizarre. Before the Universal Frankenstein's Monster, this one existed, and he looks more like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Long hands, long hair, slouched posture. He does not lumber or dress nice here. It was a fairly short film, so it was interesting seeing how people perceived of this Frankenstein's Monster. Next, we actually did watch the 1911 Hunchback of Notre Dame! He definitely looks more grotesque than the later Disney film would portray him. So, I haven't even read Hugo's novel yet, so I literally only knew...
