Evidently he did it while in school. I haven’t’ seen it but from what I understand it’s basically a porno with no nudity or any genitalia shown at all. And it’s typical Burton - big ideas, funny and gruesome effects, but a little short on character work.

Speaking of obscure movies, has anyone seen that obscure Burton title, Jeetlebuice? Something to do with ghosts getting it on?

That’s truly, obscenely revolting. It reminds me of this 80s movie I saw late one night, don’t remember the title, with a head in an aquarium. Freaked me out as a kid.

Yes, but the weirdest part of all was when the police opened the freezer in the basement up they found some of the body parts had been RE-frozen. As in, they showed evidence that they’d partially thawed but were put back in to the freezer again after he did whatever sick thing it is he had to do. And yes, their mouths were frozen in an open position. None of the heads belonged to exes that I know of.

So gross, **Cardigan**. I can’t believe that your neighbor made dead people sculptures and even had frozen body parts in his freezer. Nothing could be more disgusting than that.

So they finally executed Bob “The Sculptor” Bukowski, the bastard that killed and chopped up 12 high school students for his sick “art”, and hid the body parts in a freezer in the basement. This is why you always have to check the credentials of school employees, and run psychological tests, from teachers all the way down to janitors. I oppose capital punishment, but I’m glad the fucker’s dead.

Dang, I am one pissed off puppy! My neighbor (Bob) borrowed $50 off me like over two years ago. I’ve repeatedly asked him to pay me back (he claimed all of his exes kept taking his cash), but based on some recent news it’s possible I may never see my $50.

Nope. I’m sorry, but I refuse to have a conversation about that. Let’s talk about anything else.

It was an infected anal fissure after all!

I believe that if the fissure isn’t infected, I think that you’d be OK if you just flushed it out with .9 percent saline solution. But take that advice with a grain of salt, I am not a lawyer.

I was just reading about a court case in which a Des Moines mime sued his proctologist over a botched operation on his, er, well, um… infected anal fissure. The mime got a med-mal judgment of $10 million. The Iowa Supreme Court, understandably enough, refused to take the case on appeal.

You think that’s weird, I just saw a student film, a legal drama all done in mime.

Is mime-ing (umm? Mimicry?) a real art?
