Give me jigsaws, percussion drills, grinders and circular saws, give me chain saws, belt sanders, heat guns and feather dusters (Well yeah. A sander makes a lot of dust that has to be cleaned afterward. Got a problem with that?) and I'd go "Okay, nice toys to play with."Especially the chain saw. I love cutting things. Woody things.
On the other hand, this electrical plane is one hell of a badass motherfucker (It's ok. I'm a man's man. Cool tools talks and booze drinking require lots of extensive swearwords. Don't be so prude for f*** sake.) that makes the noise of an escadrille of Junkers Ju-87 and hews through wood like butter while maintaining a remarkable depth of cut accuracy (In wood that is. I have serious reasons to doubt the electrical plane depth of cut accuracy on butter).
I'm almost finished with my summer
In the meantime, I'm with Leatherface. We've just cut a deal.Talking about Leatherface, I noticed a negative user comment on what is among my all time favorite movies ever, «The Texas Chainsaw Massacre» (Dilettante psychoanalyst shouldn't jump to conclusions. Disney's vibrant commendation of merit over nepotism, "The Sword in the Stone", is also part of my all time favs. And yeah, I know about that thing with the sword in a stone that's impossible to handle until you've reached an evolved step of conscience of your true self. Blew you.) at the IMDB:

Summary: A Total Waste of Film and Time
"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" may be the worst excuse for a movie I have ever seen. It is vile, disgusting, sick, and ultimately stupid. Based on a true story, the movie deals with a cannibalistic family led by the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface. In the film, four young people are methodically hunted down and disposed of in brutal fashions. This is a pure mess of a film that has no message, no redeeming value, and no business even existing. (...).
I mean, this is vile, this is disgusting, this is sick and this is stupid. Fundamentally.
But talking about TCM, -- which despite a persistent rumor, is not based on a true story: it's very loosely inspired by the
That said, to find "no message" in a 1974 independent movie (the important words are "independent" and "1974") staging a group of hippies suddenly confronted to a bunch of unprincipled wackos focused on the idea of hunting and eating anything that runs on two legs and utterly immune to the virtue of unilateral peace, love (Imagine all the people. In the seasoning bowl) as well as 12 years plus 19 UN resolutions (it's just an example), frankly, one has to watch this movie in a very superficial way.
Or be a former - or "neo" - love loving hippy I guess.
These poor peaceful "methodically hunted down and disposed of in brutal fashions" young people. How sick! How vile! How immoral!
Can you please put down that chainsaw and stop eating the fleshy love children of peace Mr. Leatherface?
Tell you what: I'm afraid the Texas Chainsaw Massacre's message is still cruelly valid these days.
