***EDIT*** This post is now new and improved thanks to our friend Dylan@ manilovefilms.com . I sincerely apologize for my witty ineptitude. There clearly should have been an obvious "Elm Tree" joke associated in a post about "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Tree of Life" Thank you Dylan.
A teenage girl was found brutally slashed to death in the Elm Street community, and police can find neither a suspect nor motive for the brutal crime. "At this time we are baffled by this vicious act of violence, but we continue to make progress as the story unfolds," investigators said. An insider has leaked word that homicide detectives are looking to steer suspicion towards the parents, but Ted and Beulah Crappleberry are steadfastly maintaining their innocence in regards to the murder of their daughter Cindy. GPS was able to speak with the Crappleberrys and gain some insight on what went on the night of Cindy's slaughter.
Cindy Crappleberry downing another Redbull to keep awake
When Ted went to Blockbuster that fateful evening, he was on the fence about renting Tree Of Life. "Transformers 3 is out and I gotta get this boring shit so my daughter will go to sleep," Mr. Crappleberry angrily recalled. "Dark of the Moon was in my fucking hands, but I also heard there were dinosaurs in Tree of Life so I figured it might be cool." Instead of Bay, Ted went the other way and couldn't have possibly have known how dire the consequences would be for his choice. Beulah said that initially their plan was working like a charm. After the first fifteen minutes of the film, they noticed Cindy fast asleep on the couch between them. "We were so relieved," Mrs. Crappleberry stated. "We were relieved that Cindy was finally sleeping again, and we were happy that we didn't have to watch anymore of Terrence Malick's God awful snore-fest."
Ted put Cindy into her bed, and that's the last time they saw her alive. "I found her in the morning," Ted told us. "It was just horrific......words cannot describe it." The Crappleberrys insist that if there is an undead serial killer stalking teens in their dreams, he must be working in collusion with director Terrence Malick. "Tree of Life puts them to sleep, and Freddy makes it the Elm Tree of Death," Ted says. "Simply a partnership of the most diabolical proportions." The grieving parents admit that if they had watched Transformers 3 instead, Cindy would still be alive. "The Bay-porn spectacle would have likely kept Cindy awake for at least another week," Ted guessed. "She would have been miserable, but at least she'd still be with us!"
Ted had Transformers 3 in his hand.......but
Hopefully the Crappleberrys will be absolved of any wrongdoing in connection with young Cindy's murder, but they have sought legal council just in case their fantastic tale doesn't go over well with authorities. It will be difficult to prove that a pretentious film director is working in tandem with an undead serial killer to annihilate suburban teens, but what if the Crappleberrys are right? Malick and Freddy working together could possibly represent the most unstoppable evil force the universe has ever seen. Tree Of Life was recently released on DVD and Blu-Ray, but GPS strongly recommends this film be avoided at all costs. Consider yourselves warned!
Malick & Freddy: a diabolical partnership born unto the universe
So, how did you really feel about Tree of Life?
ReplyDeleteYou seem to be holding back a bit
@dirtywithclass.......we were considering changing our site name to treeoflifesucks.com in hopes that we could dissuade any would be film goers from attempting to wade through its shitty quagmire of awfulness.
ReplyDeleteHaha, absolutely hilarious post! "Ted had Transformers 3 in his hands but..."
ReplyDelete@Ty....thanks bud. We've been picking on Tree Of Life perhaps a bit too much lately, but I can't help myself....plus I wanted to do a Halloween themed post and nothing is more horrific than sitting through T.O.L.
ReplyDeleteLol! The Tree Of Life is a nice 3 hour nap.
ReplyDeleteC'mon...no one's gonna ask if the tree of life is actually an elm tree?
ReplyDeleteShoddy reporting.
Sorry, I'm addicted to bad jokes.
Dylan's here all week, folks.
ReplyDeleteHow could that not be mentioned?! First think I thought when I saw the post title. :D
ReplyDeleteIt does seem quite obvious now that you've said it.
ReplyDelete@Dylan.......I apologize for my obvious lack of wit. I shall work it into the post in your honor sir.
ReplyDelete@Markus - Oh god, please don't. It's a bad enough line, I don't need full attribution in the body.
ReplyDelete@Dylan......I insist sir. We all need a little constructive criticism from time to time. Plus I plugged your site. It's win win!
ReplyDeleteBreaking news: another Elm Street teen found dead. Autopsy revealed he was stabbed in the chest with a tree branch.
ReplyDelete@Sir Phobos.......self inflicted after an attempt to watch "Tree of Life." An obvious juxtaposition that represents the "Tree of Life" and the "Tree of Death"
