For their anniversary, a young female couple spend a week at a remote
vacation house on a lake. Netflix's WHAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE is a horror
thriller with some teeth, despite occasional plot developments that
strain credulity. (Best watched informed no further.) Recommended.

Hmmmm. Two young femmes alone in a remote cabin in the woods. There's
possibilities there. Unfortunately it hasn't been reviewed yet by one of my
fave review sites, Commonsensemedia.org, which appears to be run by godders
& do-gooders. Very handy it is for finding out how much sex there is in a
flick...

Well, I'm guessing that the simple fact of an all-girl marriage will
comprise reason enough there to cause the brandishing of crucifixes.

Have seen it now and liken it to a medium hangover. It's bearable if you
don't move or think too much.

Novel enough that I'll scope the guy's other movies I haven't yet seen.

"novel"? You have far greater experience than moi in this genre monsuier,
but I didn't notice anything "novel" in it. Aside from the high gloss red
enamel paint used on the actress' face after the rock fall. Man did that
stuff stick.

But speaking of "novel", I have a brilliant idea for one of these 'Cabin In
The Woods' (CitW) type flicks! Five photogenic American college students, 2
males, 3 females, at least one femme with fabulous tits, decide to have a
long summer (singlet tops ahoy!) weekend in a remote & picturesque CitW. On
the first night nothing happens, but after that, and here's the twist!
Nothing happens for the rest of the weekend!!

Crowdfunding should be a breeze...

A bunch of improbably attractive people, skimpily dressed, and nothing
happens? None of them fuck each other?

Talk about an implausible plot...

That's the twist. Per the John Carpenter rule, the killer has no way to
choose suitable victims...

I just finished watching it. Thanks for the recommendation, and the
warning to go in without knowing what's going to happen.

That's not what I thought happened. If you're right, I agree.

Well Mr. Pig, you guessed wrong in my case. I have a fine Irish crucifix
but feel no need to "brandish" it. In fact, I have no interest in what
consenting adults chose to do in the bedroom. There are just two sexes -
male and female. A person can pay some one to cut off parts, sew on parts
use chemicals to shrink parts or grow parts and pretend to be all
kinds of things they aren't. This is America so who cares?

However, I wouldn't recommend trying it in muslim countries - where
they have a less tolerant view and murder folks for doing that. So,
use caution Mr. Pig.

Even the "for-est the family" preachers
must get a pudge in their pants at the
sight of two hot women engaging in a
hot steamy lesbian kiss. :O)

'Course they will never admit it.

My guess was about "godders and do-gooders" who run a sex-watch website.
And you're right, no one *should* take such an interest in others. But.

Oh, I completely missed that! I thought you were talking about
something else.

Yeah. I think I blinked or something.

Voyeurism? Non-consensual sex? Sex with pre-pubescent children? What are
the perverts watching, moviePig?

> And you're right, no one *should* take such an interest in others. But.

It depends on whether others are being harmed, given that not all sexual
proclivities are benign.

You might have managed to say that yourself.

Nice backpedal, moviePig.

Now answer the question asked: What was the nature of the sexual
activities that the perverts were watching on that sex-watch Web site?

Nice imagination, pickNick.

(Hint: it also went without saying that sex in the bank vault you're
robbing doesn't make it okay.)

I have neither any idea nor interest. Why do you?

Does not parse

Given that so much of what you post is intended to troll, no, when you
DON'T say something that needs to be said, no one should assume what
your opinion is.

>>Now answer the question asked: What was the nature of the sexual
>>activities that the perverts were watching on that sex-watch Web site?

>I have neither any idea nor interest. Why do you?

It was your comment, quoted up above. Clearly you are admitting to lying
about not have had any interest.

You just had to make your usual moronic followup to a thread you
feign having no interest in whatsoever just to add additional ignorance
to Usenet.

Jeeze you really are nothing more than an asshole when posting to Usenet.

He doesn't. It's you he's after. And that'd be because he's a narcissistic
sociopath. Happily, he's a really shithouse one and therefore A Very Easy
