I spoil you rotten.

I also completely spoil films. So if you're going to see the new Almodóvar film The Skin I Live In then you should look at three of the following photos, and then stop. Don't look any further until you've seen the film, then come back and see if you spotted any of the same themes that I did, as listed below, which as it happens, were written in the dark, verbatim, while I watched the film, because I didn't want to forget a word of what I wanted to spoil for you.

And because you believe every word I say, and because you love doing exactly what I tell you to do, and not only that, because you feel compelled and obligated to do exactly what I tell you to do, even if it didn't make you feel as good as it always does, you will go see this film. Yes, you will sit through subtitles and you will pay rapt attention as I did, and you will then come back here to read the list below, and you will match up my words to the images in your brain as best you can, and you will form new memories of it based on what I've told you to think. In effect, you will come back here to recreate the experience of seeing the film according to the scaffolding of my though process as I saw it. Yes, that is exactly what you will do.

So here are a few photos. Close your browser before the fourth one, so that you don't see the list of words that follows. I absolutely insist.

One.

Two.

Three. Go. Now.

Dehumanization.

Objectification.

Forced feminization.

Total transformation.

Captivity.

Chained in the dungeon.

Hosed down.

Guy in a beast suit.

Cloned skin.

Medical.

Castration.

Dilators for size queen training.

Mother.

Fucking garden.

Close captioned cameras.

Art.

Three.

Two.

One.

I'll know if you fucked up.

Not only that, but you'll feel compelled to confess.
