job interview/ revenge movies/ 90210

Nov. 4 Job interview: I went to another interview today. It was in an industrial part of town. I was interviewed by this nice Chinese woman and she said the place is really fast-paced. She talks about speaking Chinese because there are Chinese workers and customers. I think it was okay, it lasted about 10min. But when I asked how many applicants there were, she said there were a lot.

My nitpick is crossing the street. There wasn't a sign with a big human figure. It's not until after the interview I was waiting for the bus, and there was a sign, a block away. I guess I could have got off the bus stop there, and then do a 5min walk to the building. It's about safety.

Another nitpick is that I have to take 2 buses, which is fine. But one of the buses comes every 30min, and not every 15min.

Revenge movies: I was thinking about that movie I Spit on Your Grave. It came out in 1978, and it was remade in 2010. I have read reviews where it's really good and scary. It's about a woman who was raped, and she comes back to kill the men who were responsible for it. It's a revenge fantasy/ torture-porn movie. I read that it's really graphic and violent, rated R.

I then thought: "So it's like Hard Candy, where a 14 yr old girl tortures a pedophile." Except I can stomach Hard Candy. As for I Spit on your Grave, seems really dark and I doubt I can sit through all of it. It's reality- based so that's what makes it scary. As for Saw movies, it's torture-porn, and it's not realistic, at least not to me. I can imagine a sociopath creating torture chambers for the victims to fight through, but it's not as believable as someone taking revenge on someone who hurt them brutally.

Here's the I Spit on Your Grave trailer. I'm disturbed watching it:

A comment on Youtube: "They deserve to be imprisoned or killed. Not tortured, but just killed. By torturing them she's no better than they are, even if she did it out of revenge."

Hardy Candy: Here's the trailer to Hard Candy. It's interesting to read people's comments:

"I do get what you're sayin.

As a molestation victim, I'd have to say I myself would take great pleasure and satisfaction in personally and brutally torturing the men who took me and my brothers innocence. Some people deserve to pay in blood."

"f---ing disgusting torture-fest. Just finished this piece of sh-- 'movie' and I still feel shivers. My friend told me that I literally turned pale during the castration scene. This was the most demented, vile, and disgusting thing I have ever seen. I actually felt PITY for the damn pedophile... nobody deserved those seven stages of hell. I wouldn't wish this upon Hitler."

"Doesn't matter if she was a little psycho bitch who enjoyed torturing them, they deserved every bit of it and she's not hurting innocent men. She most certainly was better than that murderous pedophile, pedophiles pray on the innocent, she prayed on that which was far from innocent or good. Huge difference!"

That's the thing with this movie. You either find it a good revenge movie, or an awful torture-porn movie. You are also supposed to pick who to side with like a pedophile or 14 yr old girl torturing the pedophile.

Nov. 5 Comparisons:

Rape victim becomes vigilante: It's been done before on Criminal Minds season 2 ep "Jones" in 2007. It was done on CSI: NY last season's ep called "Vigilante." Also the movie I Spit on Your Grave. They were all done differently.

On Criminal Minds, there's Jack the Ripper kind of killer in New Orleans. It's not until halfway, they figure out the killer is a woman. Then they have to find the rapist to tell them the name of the woman. Agent Jennifer Jareau says: "The statute of limitations is up, so she can't press charges on you. However, we are under the impression that she is killing all these men, and she's working her way up to you, and you're next."

Then he gives them the name, and they arrest the woman as she is attacking another guy.

On CSI: NY, they start off the episode with a sexy situation. They show women working out on the poles. A Young Woman is punching a punching bag at the gym. A Man stalks her and follows her to an alley.

Man (voice over to 911): I would like to report a murder.
Operator: When did this happen?
Man: It's about to.

That was a good surprise to report a murder right before it happens. So you think it's the serial rapist/ killer who makes the call.

Then it turns out he was the one who got murdered. Surprise again. After some investigating, Det. Flack and Lindsay arrest the Young Woman who is the Vigilante Woman. VW punches Flack in the face and kicks Lindsay as she escapes. But they get her.

They thought the rape victim Kate Price did it. KP told VW and Female Lawyer about find the rapist. The good plot twist is that the Female Lawyer did it. FL had defended the rapist, and the next day she quit.

FL: He did only 5 yrs in prison.

FL and VW teamed up to beat up and kill the rapist.

90210: There is an episode called "Liars" from last season. It starts where the Christmas episode ends. This show is about rich teens doing fun and sexy things. However, I like this ep because it was very much like a crime drama.

Last season, Naomi falsely accuses her teacher Mr. Cannon of sexual harassment because she was angry at him. She then admits to it. He then rapes her in the season finale. She tries to forget about what happened, and then reports the rape 3 months later. Now there's no physical evidence. If you get raped, you should head to hospital right away and don't take a shower, or maybe even urinate until the get a rape kit together.

You don't necessarily have to press charges, but it's important to report the rape so he won't go and rape someone else.

Mr. C runs away and he came back and holds N hostage in her own home. Mr. C wants to get revenge on her because he lost his wife, family, and career because of N. Mr. C needs to get N's friend Silver to come to the home. N refuses to call S and get her hurt. Mr. C textes S, on N's phone.

S comes to N's home. Now N and S are tied up to chairs and they say on video tape like how N was never raped (when she was.) Mr. C needs a lot of money from N so he can go away until his name is cleared.

Cut to the next day. Mr. C wakes up N and S. Mr. C will hold S hostage in car, as N gets money from her bank. N asks to fix her makeup because the bank people will know something's wrong if she goes in not looking dressed up.

N sits down and puts make up on and as Mr. C is talking, she grabs her hairspray and sprays it into Mr. C's eyes. S gets this blunt object and hits him on the head and knocks him out.

N and S put masking tape and tie up Mr. C to a chair. They call the police and they're coming. N punches Mr. C in the face twice. She kicks him when he's in the chair and it falls over.
Me: Yeah!

Then N is about to slit Mr. C's throat, but S convinces her to stop. Then the police come. N cries as S holds her.
