Wild Sound

INT. NIGHT. A large living room in a house in Somerville, Mass. Two twentysomething men are watching a football game and drinking beer. A promo for the D.C. Sniper movie comes on during a commercial break.

APE #1

You know Cynthia said her dad is a Montgomery County policeman.

APE #2

No way.

APE #1

Yeah.

APE #3 (entering from Kitchen with three beers in hand)

Hey you know Cynthia said her dad is a Montgomery County policeman.

APES 1 and 3 (in unison)

No shit! You’re a fucking genius.

APE #3 (confused)

But she said he’s retired.

APE #1

No way, she told me he was still a cop!

APE #3

No, I think she said he’s retired.

APE #1

Fuck you, she said he’s a cop.

APE #2

LET’S WAKE HER UP!

 

Fade to black.

Stay tuned for next week: The Lonely Beer-Swilling Ape.

new Friday feature: Scenes from HOUSE OF THE APES

Setting: Kitchen of a large house in Somerville, Mass. A thermostat on the wall is set to 58 degrees. Several pieces of paper are posted on the wall a few inches away.

Note #1 (boy handwriting)
DO NOT PUT THE HEAT TO 70 DEGREES

Note #2 (girl handwriting)
DON’T LEAVE IT AT 60 EITHER, IT’S TOO FUCKING COLD

Note #3 (boy handwriting)
PUT ON A FUCKING SWEATER!
AND WHILE YOU’RE AT IT, TURN OFF THE TOASTER OVEN WHEN YOU’RE DONE WITH IT!

Fade to black.

Stay tuned for next week: The Porn Battle (or, Why Are the VCR Buttons So Greasy?)

Why are there no good film blogs? If you know of any, send ‘em along. In the meantime I will work on making this one of them. But to do that I really need to see more movies so that I can actually deserve the BostonFilmGirl title. Next week I’ll be starting a weekly review feature. I’d love to be more ambitious and do some sort of movie-a-day project, but all that would do is water down the reviews with too much content. Plus I’m lazy so I wouldn’t keep up with it. But once a week is doable. Monday Movie Review. In the meantime check out my film blog. Oh and the Boston Jewish Film Festival opens tonight, check out the schedule, see a film, read the gorgeous program book I edited.
