“The wop hugged Denny’s belly with one arm and began to grunt and hump. Hogg’s other hand flexed under me. Beside them, the nigger chuckled. Below us the motor rolled over.
Denny said, “Umph …” a few times, but that was all. He’d given up on his dick awhile—it still stuck up like a yam—and was kneading his scrotum now.
Hogg glanced over. “Go on. Suck him off.”
I bent over and took Denny’s dick in my mouth. Hogg had gotten his hand inside the tear in my pants and was digging his middle fingers in me. A couple of times the wop reached over and rubbed my back. My t-shirt was cold now. But it was Hogg’s piss; so I didn’t care.
Sucking off Denny, I found, never took too long.”

Rendezvous with rama. But only with a good Sci Fi director. I would hate to see the JJ version

Would be interesting for sure, who would play the main though? Originally it was supposed to be John Belushi

“I think …” Hogg began, then suddenly guffawed loudly. “I think I know what you want, hey? I know this dago. He’s worked with me on some jobs. He’s real mean, Mr. Jonas. I’ve seen him stick a knife in a bitch fast as he’d stick his pecker in a pussy. Sometimes, when we work over a cunt together, I got to hold that boy back from slittin’ the bitch open.”
“Well, yes, now. That’s—”
“And I got a nigger, too. Works with me a lot. Big, black, and nasty. The shit I seen that spade mother pull when he gets after a bad pussy, well, it would make a gentleman like you sick, Mr. Jonas.” Hogg chuckled, shook his head. “Just sick.”
“Well, now you do seem to have the idea. A big colored man? That would really amuse—but then, there’s no need to mention who. A darky? Yes, that sounds particularly good.”
“I can think of a couple of other guys. I know a whole bunch of rape artists, Mr. Jonas. I can get you some real scroungy types. Just plain creepy. Standin’ there and watchin’ those guys work over some poor bitch gets me so fuckin’—”

“I went down and licked his salty nuts. Then I came up and sucked on his cock. I don’t know if he’d finished pissing, but he suddenly caught his breath, tightened his belly, and came. It was thick and bitter and there was a lot of it. I came off him to the smell of shit: the wop had his cock out of Denny’s ass now and up against my face.
What had glittered was a ring in his dick.
First, as it pulled back into and pushed out his fist, I thought it just went through his foreskin. His skin pulled the brass back, pushed it out again, and I saw the metal went down into the slit of his piss-hole, out through the head and on through the foreskin—not out through the bottom where the skin is thin, either, but through the side, the thickest part of the head. The flesh around the hole was dark and puckered. The foreskin could slip back on the right, but on the left the ring, about as big as a wedding ring for a large-handed man, held it forward. The heavy, work-rough hand guided the cocoa[…]”

They wanted John Candy to play Ignatius after Belushi died. But then Candy died as well.

Weirdest fucking book I ever read

Swindle. It would try it's best to be a kids movie, but Hollywood would find someway to screw it up.

I just love how he writes. He paints more of a picture in a single sentence then most authors can manage with an entire novel.

>The Iliad and Oddysey done properly
>More greek shit in general
>All of Gulliver's Travels
>Lovecraft shit
>more of clive barkers stuff from books of blood
>the house part from house of leaves
>mason & dixon
>blood meridian
>WH40k (maybe like an 80s/90s cartoon)
>confederacy of dunces with john c riley
>Our Ancestors Trilogy by Italo Calvino (done by Walt Disney of old)

War of the Worlds was the shit. I wish they used the Great Illustrated Classics design for the aliens in the Tom Cruise movie, it just looks so scary.

I dont care if they butcher it. We need actual drugs-and-sex-cyberpunk kino with AI and cybernetically augmented humans that have fucking razors in their fingers with guys inserting themselves into the bodies of sexy lithely assassins to fight incestual mentally ill cloned technocrats + mentally ill onanist special forces operatives turned manchurian candidates, not "DUDE NEON AND FUTURISTIC CLOTHES WOOOOOWWWWW"

Meltdown has a place for you as a schizophrenic HIV+ transsexual chinese-latino stim-addicted LA hooker with implanted mirrorshades and a bad attitude. Blitzed on a polydrug mix of K-nova, synthetic serotonin, and female orgasm analogs, you have just iced three Turing cops with a highly cinematic 9mm automatic. The residue of animal twang in your nerves transmits imminent quake catastrophe. Zero is coming in, and you're on the run.
[[ ]] N O FU T U RE [ [ 1 . 3 4 3 ] [ [ 0 ]] The father's law: 'don't touch your mother.' The mother's law: 'don't play in the tombs.' K codes for cybernetics. Bataille incinerates the soul, and is impossible to endure. You either die or go somewhere else. Or both. Clicking on the K-war icon j acks you straight into hell. On all fours, out of your face, mumbling imploringly: 'let me be your lab animal ' . You're losing it. Collapse into now. Time-zero. You have been dumped into a heterogeneous patch work of criminal experiments converging upon decapi tated social formations. This is where base materialism intersects cyberpunk, FUC K T O M O RROW scrawled on the walls . Five candles thicken nocturnal space. Dimensionality warps. M odernity invented the future, but that's all over.

Fuck ya! Fuck ya, nigger!
