Guess Who's Humming at Dinner?

xoxoxoBruce · 12-30-2009, 11:38 AM

Watching that video, I had the feeling she'd start drooling in a minute.

Tawny · 12-30-2009, 07:12 PM

Oh yeah, she's like "any woman."

1) Overly worried about her makeup getting smeared CHECK

2) Loves to have someone buy her new clothes CHECK

3) Knows the location of the restroom anywhere she is CHECK

4) Doesn't want to be touched CHECK

5) Frozen below the waist CHECK AND CHECK!

I will say, if you're going to be obsessive and hand build something, a fembot is more practical than aluminum airplane models.

The voice needs work though.

Sounds like a lonely Dwellar looking for love in all the wrong places.

I saw a doco about 3 years ago on Real Dolls and the guys who have one or in some cases, many. It was heartbreaking. The doco filmed the owner's daily activities and had them talking about their "relationship" with their Real Doll, so it didn't try to cast any particular slant on them, but they mostly came across as men who had either no self-confidence with women (one English guy felt that women found him repulsive, so the Real Doll was how he got around that) or weird. Another one of the subjects who seemed relatively normal had a girlfriend during the making of the doco, but by the time it went to air, that had come to an end. The reasons weren't discussed, although it did show her "meeting the dolls" and seeming to accept their presence. I haven't seem Lars and the Real Girl, but am guessing that it's something like this, but funnier and without the pathos of real life.

I think you'll find plenty of pathos represented in the film.

And humor. I like the part where the townspeople bought into it for Lars' sake and elected her for something. Not exactly in the clip below, but close.

SPOILER ALERT!

While we're on the topic, "This is not chick lit" has got a whole heap of great short stories including one about a real doll with a completely unexpected ending (and subject matter).

I can never remember the names of those drama masks, so I call them Pathos and Laughos.

That sounds like Willy Wonka...or would it be Willy Wanka?
