ENEMY…. this was a strange one…. it was veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slow – deliberately and featured a LOT of Jake Gylllllllenhallllnenen – he plays two roles. It also had some spiders which fucking disgusted me and were symbolic for something or other that skipped over my dumbass head but, it was good. Really good. But so many spiders. Actually, there’s only three but…. FUCK….. Spiders!!! GROSS!! Fucking disgusting. You know – if you look this up you’ll see people saying things about the ending – that it’s fucking terrifying and one of the scariest endings of all time and shit like that… well – it almost made me shit my pants – I’ll tell you that – but is the whole movie worth it? It’s really good but it’s one of those you won’t get on your first viewing – unless you’re unbelievably smart. If you really want to now what just happened you’ll probably have to go read about it like I did. I know that about half way through it I thought “If (THIS) is what’s going on I might get pissed” and it turned out I was right but…. this is a good one. I liked PRISONERS better.
But GOD DAMN is Melanie Laurent hot or what???
Other people have already written much better pieces than I will, so I won’t try too hard. This is a good movie – for real – it’s kind of confusing but overall it’s worth it. Now – because I have fears of things I am going to put a spoiler in here at the end of this paragraph. It’s not like it’s a big movie ruining spoiler like you could put out that ruins the end of Sixth Sense and then you don’t need to see the fucking movie – but I wish I hadn’t seen that last bit because it almost made me shit myself: Here you go: there’s a big, giant fucking spider at the end of it.
GOD DAMN!!!! You know – one compelling reason to see this is her – she does have a few sex scenes and some nude shots. HUBBA HUBBA MEOW PUSSYCAT! OOGA OOGAH!! Where was I…I’m too far gone to remember where I was going with all of this… I need to go take a cold shower….
Dear Chop,
Love this write up. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, it was really bizarre. ML is pretty cool. Just wait for Thursday before we talk about cold showers.
All my love,

Smash, there’s only a spider at the beginning and very end, probably for about a grand total of 30 seconds – and the spiders are metaphors and not to be taken literally; it’s not like Arachnophobia or anything. This movie is more confusing than scary. It’s interesting though and worth a watch to judge for yourself. Don’t let the spiders deter you, though. This isn’t a movie about spiders, but more of a mystery about a man’s identity. It’s uniquely executed. Feels like a David Lunch film. Have you seen “Blue Velvet”? In “Blue Velvet” they show ants as a metaphor, but the film isn’t actually about ants. There are just a couple scenes with ants as they represent something else entirely; such as the case with the spiders in “Enemy”.

D was watching this show on discovery channel the other night, and I happened to walk through the living room right as there was a HUGE FUCKING TARANTULA on the screen. I screamed and ran away. That’s how scared I am. I would probably just die on the spot if I ever saw one in real life.

No, I don’t know why you’re afraid. And I never questioned it actually, because it’s the most logical fear in the world. People who aren’t afraid of them, have got mental problems man.

When I was a kid – my mom got married to the dad who adopted me and we moved into this brand new development. One day my mom picked me up from school and we went to look at our brand new built house. She opened the door and there were dozens and dozens of tarantulas in the foyer. She started screaming hysterically and – not knowing anything other than my mom – so did I and I have been terrified of them ever since…
Now I need to go change my underwear thinking about that…
