Short Film Friday: Eel Girl

Hello and Welcome to Another Installment of FYB’s Short Horror Film Friday Featuring 2008 Sci Fi Horror Short Eel Girl Written and Directed by New Zealand’s Own Paul Campion. Eel Girl is a 5 Minute and 19 Second Film Designed to be Disturbing, Controversial, and  Beautiful while Peaking People’s Interest by Word of Mouth. The Film’s Special Makeup Effects were Created by World Renowned Weta Workshop (For Example 45 Gallons of Black Methocyl better known as KY Jelly were Created to Fill the Bathtub).

                  

Now I sure More Than One Person Reading this has Immediately thought of or Drawn Parallels Between Eel Girl and the Drama Thriller The Shape of Water Directed by Guillermo del Toro. The Movie is the Story of a Mute Cleaning Lady who falls in Love with a Governmental Laboratory’s Classified Secret a Humanoid Fish Man from South America. Basically it’s Romeo and Juliet meets The Creature From The  Lagoon Love Story.

NOW HERE IS THE POINT Eel Girl was Released in 2008 a Full NINE YEARS BEFORE The Shape of Water so No Eel Girl IS NOT COPYING The Shape of Water if Anything its the Other Way Around.

                   

Synopsis/Plot:Eel Girl takes Place in Deep in the Bowels of a Secret Naval Research Facility. One of the Research Scientist has become Absolutely Obsessed with the Half-Human Held-Eel Creature He’s Studying. When She beckons Him to Her, It’s the Sinister Call of a Siren…..For Eel Girl isn’t looking for Love She’s Looking for Revenge!

Enjoy.

We Hope You Enjoyed this Aquatic Tale of Terror as Much as We Did.

Thanks For Watching,

Student Loan Debt Is a Super Bitch.

Alright, Alright one last Post railing against the Healthcare Field before returning to the Unusual f-yourblog usual Fare.

Now Studentl Loan Debt is a so called “Hot Button” Topic these fucked up Days here We are all facing in motherfucking America under the Giant Orange Traitorous Asshole.

And I’d like to take just a second to go record FUCK BETSY DEVOS IS THE ANIT-EDUCATION COCKSUCKERING ANTI-CHRIST. United States Secretary of Education MY ASS.

I specially took the time to mention Dipshit Devos because this walking, talking piece of human piece of shit has ACTUALLY spent her political career in Education to FUCK OVER PUBLIC EDUCATION every chance the whore gets.

Not only is there that happy horseshit, but Devos is out to make a quick buck through a Lobbyist  from her job so she’s backing PREDATORY STUDENT LOAN COMPANIES.

She is basically trying to set up the system where the Public are fucking morons because that makes them easy to control OR you spend a shit ton of money on your education only then to be CRIPPLED by Student Loan Debt. Want proof look at the Uneducated, Ignorant, and Gullible MAGA MAGGOTS. MAGAs are SO WEAK MINDED they are the equivalent of Human fucking Silly Puddy, Stupid as hell and moldable. Scumbag Sheep.

ANYWAY let Me get back on point.  And here it is:

One of the oddities that I’ve become aware of is the slow progression of the Members of Society becoming Meek Subservient and Complacent cowing down instantly when it comes to Doctors. Yes, I have said this before.

One of those oddities I’d like to dress now if I may. There has been this odd development that is a component of this new Social Attitude towards Doctors in General. Its one of the reasons People TOLERATE AND ACCEPT the fucked up Healthcare System, and its aforementioned Doctors. People it seems have become overtly empathetic/sympathetic to the subject of Doctor’s , and their Student Loan Debt.

True the Average Medical School Student has around $100,000 (or more) in Student Loan Debt which does HORRIBLY SUCK. See I won’t deny this fact that Doctor’s too are financially raped by Student Loan Companies, and are Financial victims by Our seriously broken Healthcare System.

My Wife has been an RN for 10 years, and We still owe on Her primary Student Loan. Yeah thats fucking right there was more than one, 3 in fact as 1 loan wasn’t enough to cover all the outrageous expenses. For example My Wife at one point had to purchase a $300 fucking text book  for one class alone.

My point is MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of American’s are heavily burdened financially by Student Loan Debt that Their quality of life suffers anyway you fucking look at it. And that too HORRIBLY SUCKS.

So why of the VAST MULTITUDE of those in America who are facing the financial burden of the Student Loan Scam do Doctor’s get a Pass?! Its obvious to me its simply because Their chosen profession. Their fucking Doctors. SO WHAT?! I don’t think that makes Them any different in Their Social Standing within Society than You or Me when it comes to Universal problems like STUDENT LOAN GODDAMN DEBT?!

I’ll even Play Devil’s Advocate here lets say that there are certain professions that are deemed so important and vital to the function, advancement, and survival of the Human Race that it Socially Elevates them to a Higher Level.

What about Lawyers??? They fight for the Sick and Injured, The Fight to have Criminals Locked up and the Innocent Absolved of Wrong Doing. They battle giant companies that pump out addictive and detrimental drugs that cause epidemics like Oxycontin (not to mention the developing Fentanyl problem?

What about Scientists that slave away for years in a Laboratory attempting to cure diseases such as AIDS and CANCER or are developing safer Medications?

What about Teachers who literately have the responsibility to educate Our Youth, and who without our Society wouldn’t have made it out of the Primordial Ooze. Without Teachers there would be NO DOCTORS.

Ok, Ok I digress on the Job Comparison deal. My last point of this post is this:

Last Year ALONE I ran up (and mostly paid off thank fucking god) a total of $237,684.71. That ALONE is enough for 2 Doctor’s to PAY OFF THEIR STUDENT LOAN DEBT IN FULL. The remainder could be used by a 3rd Doctor to go towards his/her Student Loan Debt, and pay off 20% of the total.

Alright I’m done now.

Thanks for Reading,
