The Texas Chainsaw Massacre? Really?

    Mannnn, but TCM is, like, a metaphor. A rural Texas family is deemed worthless by society (they were butchers replaced by machines), and without a regulating "super-ego" (using Freudian terms only to mark the significance of their desiccated father--they cleave to him in the same perverse way they still relate to society as a whole), they fall on their victims with "the devouring fury of a vicious hound." And then they killed some middle-class hippies and THE BONES WERE REAL. TOBE HOOPER BOUGHT THEM FROM INDIA OR SOMETHING AND IT'S OFF-PUTTING BUT ALSO TOTALLY RAD.

    Also some guy had to lie on the ground for a shot and it was >40 degrees and he heard his face cooking on the pavement, and somebody almost got Texas Chain Sawed for real.

    Trevor, no fancy thing you say, even if you do manage to mention Freud, will ever justify this being one of your favorite films.

    Also, FOUR STARS LA JETEE? That's a five star short. Very disappointed.

    In Argentina se dice "El Loco de la Motosierra: La Masacre de Texas." In Peru, "Una masacre sin igual"
