The intoxicated twosome reached the Deli Door and Dizzy opted to be the One who went in to get the Change They needed for the upcoming Bus Venture. A Couple of Minutes Later Dizzy emerged from the Deli with a Pocket full of Silver and two 40 Ounces of Natty Ice.
“What the fuck are the 40s for?!” asked Lee some what baffled by the Alcohol He had already ingested thus far.
“There for US to Drink on the Bus because fucking trust Me You DO NOT want to be fucking Sober when Your on the Bus,” responded Dizzy matter of factly much like a Museum Tour Guide, “The shit Your about to See, Smell and Touch is much more bearable if You have Beer to back You Up.”
The Two continued words the Bus Stop in Silence as Lee wondered if the Public Transportation System seriously suck as Bad as Dizzy claimed it was?! Slowly Lee’s mind began to Spiral Out of Control with Increasingly Horrible Mental Images of the Possible Horrors that awaited Him on the Dastardly Bus. Paranoia began to set in Dominating Lee’s Emotions as Lee strained to keep Himself from having a fucking Full Blown Panic Attack. The Growing feeling of Dread started welling up inside of Lee as He suddenly found Himself beginning to Question Everything He had done that Day. The Rapid Secession of Thoughts which only lead Lee to feel even more Completely Overwhelmed.
Why did He walk into that fucking Theater only to Witness the World’s most Perturbing Performance Art Ever created? Why did He talk to Dizzy in the First Place None the Less decide to Hang Out with Him?! Lee felt trapped as if He had been backed into a corner with No Way to Escape. Life was fucking with Lee he thought to Himself and fucking with Him Hard. This Train of Toxic Thought was Aiding in Lee’s attempt to subdue His Acute Anxiety. Lee desperate but Determined blocked everything out and focused solely on His Breathing. As The Two approached the Bus Stop Lee was still fighting to Maintain to a Good Degree.
They sat down side by side on the Small incredibly uncomfortable Plastic Bench that had these pathetic Alleged Arm Rests that were there to Provide a sort of ‘Personal Space” Barrier between Strangers waiting for the Bus. In Reality The “Arm Rest/ Dividers” were a recent addition by the Department of Transportation simply so Homeless People Couldn’t/Wouldn’t Sleep on them as The General Public found such behavior Distasteful. Thats Humanity for You it occurred to Lee instead of Helping the Homeless Society decides to go with the Basic “Out f Sight, Out of Mind” Principle, and thus Persecute the Homeless in Lou of Help. God People are Shitty.
“Your gonna want to get about a Third of that Beer in You before We board the Bus,” said Dizzy staring vacantly into Space, “That way You can Fortify Your Buzz in Preparation for the World of Shit that is the Bus. Seriously it’s its Own fucked up Self Contained Ecosystem and shit. There People Riding on the Bus that I swear to God You’ll NEVER see fucking Elsewhere. They’re the Galapagos Tortoises of the Human fucking Race.”
It was Just Then that Lee looked up from His Beer to See the Bus pulling Up to Their Stop.
Stay Tuned for the Next Physics Defying Installment of………
LEE JONHITIS: PROFESSIONAL PEOPLE WATCHER (55/365)
FYB is Proud to Present the CONTROVERSIAL 1932 Film FREAKS!
Freaks is a GROTESQUE Horror Movie about REVENGE Produced and Directed by Tod Browning. The Original Version of the Film with a Running Time of 90 Minutes was Considered TOO SHOCKING TO BE RELEASED!!! Several Scenes had to be Cut resulting in a Running time of 64 Minutes. The Original Version NO LONGER EXISTS!
Despite the EXTENSIVE CUTS, The Movie was NEGATIVELY RECEIVED by Audiences (recording a Loss of $164,000) and The Film Remained an Object of EXTREME CONTROVERSY! Today the Scenes that were Removed are Considered Lost.
FREAKS was considered so CONTROVERSIAL it Ended Tod Browning’s Career due to the Fact that after FREAKS Release NO ONE in Hollywood Wanted to Work For or With Him. This was Greatly in part Due to Browning’s use of REAL LIFE Circus Shade Show Performers/Acts. This was Perceived by the Film Industry and by Members of the Public as a TOO GRAPHIC, DISTASTEFUL, AND EXPLOITIVE Display of Humans with the SEVEREST PHYSICAL DISABILITIES. By 1932 Freak Shows had Lost Their Popularity among the Public and had Become Looked Down On as Low Entertainment. Also Disabled People were now Subjected to Sympathy/Pity rather than Gawking and Ridicule.
FREAKS became the ONLY MGM FILM Ever to be PULLED FROM RELEASE Before Completing its Domestic Engagements (Which Means They Pulled it From Theaters). Because the Film was thought to be OVERLY EXPLOITIVE, FREAKS was BANNED in SEVERAL COUNTRIES, and in the United Kingdom FREAKS was BANNED FOR 30 YEARS!
Some Reviewers Went on Record Stating:
“Any One Who considers this Entertainment should be Placed in the Pathological Ward (Psych Ward) in some Hospital” -Harrison’s Reports
“There is NO EXUSE for this Picture. It took a Weak Mind to Produce and it takes a STRONG STOMACH to Look at It.” -The Kansas City Star
“(FREAKS) is an OUTRAGEOUS ONSLAUGHT upon the Feelings, the Senses, the Brains, and Stomachs of an Audience.” The Hollywood Reporter
Plot Summery: Circus Dwarves Hans and Frieda and Engaged to be Married.
