Phil had a thing for blow-up dolls. Not cheap ones - painted faces, seams in wrong places. Good ones: molded features ... realistic hair ... blue eyes.
His dream? A life-size silicon woman to hold him and listen.
Phil had a thing for blow-up dolls. And it had taken him just one passionless marriage to get there.

Its strange, how people seek to escape into artificial world, forsaking the real. Its sad too!
Oh, please tell me that you have seen Lars and the Real Girl.
It's one of the best movies EVER.
Seriously.
And those realistic blow-up dolls?
They ain't cheap.
Interesting 55, Devo.
But, my blow-up doll would have green eyes.
Or hazel, like mine.
If I get one we can share.
=P
I actually met a sculptor who is now starting to make these expensive dolls...maybe I can get ya a discount. :D Lars was great!!
Mona,
It is strange and perhaps sad ... and yet, what is "real"? Perhaps what Phil needs is a real connection to himself, and until he learns to master that, he won't be fully able to connect to someone else ...
Strumpet,
I promise to try to find "Lars and the Real Girl" if you promise to try to find "Fido" (it's only THE most heartwarming zombie movie ever - I mentioned it in a comment somewhere before).
Today you get a gold star for sharing and a smiley-face for "plays well with others."
; )
Lulda,
I will keep that discount in mind if the situation arises!
(haha - "arises" is kind of a funny word in this context, I think.)
I've actually seen MOST of Fido when it was(/is) On Demand.
I watched most of it when I was cat-sitting for Z for a week. It was this week that I fell in love with Lumpkin while she was sick and took her home the following week.
Needless to say, though I really dug the movie, and especially Trinity in kitsch retro-wardrobe, Lumpkin stole most of my attention and I have been hesitant to rent it to watch the last half-hour.
And, yes, from what I've seen...it's an awesome movie...
I meant to tell you that when you first mentioned the movie, but I forgot to go back to wherever that comment was and tell you.
Oops.
Still, get Lars and the Real Girl....YOU WILL LOVE IT.
I'm so not kidding.
It's simply one of the best stories ever.
Seriously.
It's so great.
I promise.
hehehehe...
Was she a Red-Head?
Excellent 55 Devo!
Thanks for visiting, thanks for playing, and have a Great Week-End!
Strumpet,
All right then, Lars is on my list! (Along with The Big Bang Theory.)
I'd be of the opinion that the end of Fido is well worth a re-rent, especially if you missed bits here and there throughout the rest of the movie.
Ah, such an adorably precious and good-natured film, despite the electric cattle prods, flesh-eating zombies, and implications of necrophilia ...
g-man,
I didn't really consider hair-color when I was writing about our friend Phil. I only put in the eye color because I wanted an adjective in front of "eyes" and I was at 54 words.
On the other hand, I'm sure Phil's new flame won't complain if he makes her wear a red wig from time to time ...
: )
I think it was the 'implications of necrophilia' that I liked the best.
So....
...don't ruin it for me, cos I'm still kind of hoping that Trinity and Fido get it on.
I'd be down for gettin' it on with a zombie, if only I didn't have a fear that his yoo-hoo would fall off.
As for redheads....though fantabulous....right now my own preferences have been strictly brunette.
Though, I'd be down for a redhead that made me forget about all recently past redhead experiences...
So what you need is hot girl brunette zombie whose pertinent parts are less likely to fall off.
Because you've mentioned you're open-minded like that.
; )
Yes! Yes! Yes!
My, I'm getting WAY too excited about this...
...but, I don't care.
Maybe one will climb in through my window before the sunrise.
My secret code word below is: entro
I believe it to be a good sign.
Ah poor Phil, destined to a life without love! :(
Great 55.
Strumpet,
"Entro" -- I like that. It makes me think the zombie is from an off-kilter foreign film.
Akelamalu,
Now, let's not assume the worst for poor Phil. I mean, the possibility exists that Phil is someone who really needs to be by himself, and that his fixation will pan out into not just physical but spiritual self-love.
Ahhhh....Devo....you have to see this movie!!
I am TELLING YOU.
Lars and the Real Girl.
I recommend it quite a bit, but so much of what you are saying here....
...you're gonna just really like it.
Code word below: gracyted
Gracy Ted
Ted, full of Grace
Theodore, full of Grace.
He's a ballet dancer.
Lol! Someone was just telling me how in the movie Demolition man, people don't even touch each other for sex, they use helmet-type electro-brainwave things.
That would really be a bummer.
Lars and the real girl... now I think I know why it must be called that. Hey, I have that movie. Maybe I'll watch it next?
Hey, ever hear of RealDolls? They're so real, they're creepy!
I don't remember much about Demolition Man except that Sandra Bullock's character was hilarious in that movie.
Hmmm. "They're so real, they're creepy"? I wonder what it says about you that the realism is the part you find creepy ...
; )
(I'm just kidding. I'm pretty sure I know what you meant.)
