![]() Seeing as how they both work the exact same long hours and she’s obviously a badass geneticist, it’s easy to see why she maybe wouldn’t want to be pregnant and then be a mother on top of all that. She reminds him that she likes their childfree life the way it is. Doctor (Sarah Polley) to pop out a little Doctor or two. Doctor (Adrian Brody) would like for Mrs. In getting to know our nerd-couple, we learn that Mr. This living, breathing, moving, blob is a boy, by the way. This monster blob thing is a formless mass of cells that somehow has a distinguishable gender despite not really having any distinguishable…parts. Instead of just, you know, the strands or whatever. They accomplish this by creating an entire organism. Further, they are creating a way to farm said proteins. The premise of this script is that two super-cool geneticists who are married and work in the same lab for a big pharma company have been splicing genes together in order to create proteins that are very effective at curing stuff. Or rather, what it’s about, because what it is is…not what it’s trying to be. I guess I should really begin by discussing what Splice is. Perpetuating the Cycle of Childhood Trauma In 2010 their greatest creation will be unleashed. Short: A secret experiment will break the laws of science and create an animal human hybrid. At first, Dren exceeds their wildest dreams, but as she begins to grow at an accelerated rate, she threatens to become their worst nightmare. The result is Dren, a creature with amazing intelligence and physical attributes. When they propose the use of human DNA, their pharmaceutical company bosses forbid it, forcing them to conduct experiments in secret. Geneticists Clive (Adrien Brody) and Elsa (Sarah Polley) specialize in creating hybrids of species. Now let me tear into this bizarre and hysteria-and-cringe inducing feature. This experience is one that I cannot separate from the movie itself, and for this reason I love the worst movie I have ever seen. Moments of tension were broken by our shared hysterical laughter at the gross absurdity that is Splice. My cries of disgust and surprise were their cries of disgust and surprise. So let me tell you first that I lived through Splice in the lonely quiet of my dorm room with an in-movie audience with which to share this trauma. It transcends movie-watching and becomes an experience. I wasn’t picky about a free movie and didn’t quite understand the mechanics of how to even search for better downloads - a side note, this is also how I ended up watching the unfinished version of the Wolverine movie wherein the climax inexplicably is littered with unfinished CGI scenes rather than the finale. What I had was a filmed version of the movie from inside a movie theater. I use the term “bootlegged” specifically here - because “pirated” implies that it was a copy of the movie that someone had uploaded. It will always take up a special place in my heart because when I saw it for the first time (yes, I’ve re-watched it, I’ll get to that) it was a bootlegged copy that I’d downloaded onto my shitty laptop in college and watched late one night by myself. ![]() Pablo Splice then sticks the landing with a dizzying spin on 'That's It', blending melodic phrases of the original version into a droning, disoriented tech-noir tribute.Splice is the worst movie I have ever seen, period. A wandering abstract progression slowly twists into a retro synth pop jam sounding a lot like it could be an instrumental of Duran Duran or Tubeway Army. ![]() UnSonore, a childhood friend and close acquaintance of Fleck E.S.C., stretches boldly into the outfit of 'Responsible Grown Up'. Kim's version brings a hefty sub and a bouncy break into the arrangement while the main parts remain intact but slanted with a cracking new style and urgency. Kim Cosmik ups the ante with a tidy smackdown version of 'Grassland'. The four inventive producers enlisted for this project went to task re-contextualizing the original parts, each crafting a personal shout out the original EP.ĪDJ's powerhouse take on 'Substitute Placebo' enhances the bubbling, freakish qualities of the track while adding some signature muscle and swagger and a subtle dark rave essence. This set of remixes provides an intriguing companion to Fleck E.S.C.'s 'Responsible Grown Up' EP, released on Woodwork in May.
