Thanks for the comments all you, um, commentors. Isn't Jimmy Hart also a cousin of yours Duke? ]]>

iloz zoc, a damn honour to have you pop up here, considering the marvels you yourself have crafted. The ol' family history gets decidedly muddy round about the turn of the 19th century, but i do have a cousin Jimmy De Mondo who was tried for antics similar to cannibalism, and, indeed, found guilty. ]]>

I could write like this, if only Zombos would let me. Damn you Duke. By the way, are you related to the De Mondos on Zimba's side? I think they were all hanged for cannibalism, but aside from that, they were a fun bunch at parties. ]]>

Not much of anything matches the finale of Dumont's crazed exercise in nihilistic ennui, something for which I suppose we should all be grateful. If every film made me feel as emptied-out and exhausted as that film, I'd never get anything done. The last shot, in particular, haunts me to this day (to the point where, if I ever get my screenplay written, I'm gonna steal that shot). ]]>

Mary - The Gushing Aarons is just far too rude to even consider. heh. And thank you. Steve C - it was a fairly significant debt, i thought. although nothing in this matches the horrific finale of Dumont's number. And thankfully none of that truly distressing agony / ecstasy filthing. ]]>

First review I've seen to point out the debt that Aja owes Bruno Dumont. That's awesome. ]]>

"duelling aarons!" haha, shit, that shoulda been the title! Or, on alternate Tuesdays, title your screeds, "The Gushing Aarons". Because - like the man said, you do. Gush, that is. Good Glorious Gushing of Gore, Goodwill, and oft times Gratuitous, but Giggleworthy Grammatical Gems. ]]>

You guys need to write your novels. You're both gushing style and wit. I volunteer to be part of your test audience. ]]>

Duelling Aarons, I love it. Reading this I am either all wet in orgasmic glee, or I just shat myself. Either way twas a glorious few minutes. ]]>
