The Double

[Murphy]

ah so it’s about The Substance

thank fuck it was free mubi trial, what a pile of wank

butts galore but what in the name of christos beast was it going for? Dorian G meets butts meets Altered States meets a dose of Shining carpets and butts, did I mention the butts?

never taking a rare film afternoon recommendation from a mate again, ps butts = 2 cheeks, double cuts in the butt stupid film and yes there’s a thread for film abortions but wtf fuck off absolutely annoying conjoined toss

Nico has a Doubles-themed dream screening series she's never gotten around to putting on, but it includes Vertigo obvi, and Body Double, but also Mulholland Drive, Skin I Live In, Basic Instinct, Birth, Show Girls, Silvia Prieto, Parent Trap, 3 Women, The Headless Woman

Been meaning to watch Silvia Prieto but she loves it. 3 Women is obviously a classic in this genre, but with triple (maiden, mother, crone) rather than double. Birth is fucking crazy lol

I think @william kent can vouch for this in some sense, even though he has not seen the film in years, but Abel Ferrara's The Blackout merits a mention imo. "Doubles" are not a major plot point in the film the way it is in some of the films listed above, but there is a key scene that uses a "double" and the merit here is less about the use of the double, but more about how eve the slight similarity in appearance can flip a switch in someone, especially if they are intoxicated.

a forum member who's been in a dry spell lately dm'd this to me:

The right kind of sexual conquest can transform you into a different person. Make you into a Jekyll even. Turn you into a brute, an animal. You feel powerful for weeks afterward. You can smash anything if you feel like it

Girls pick up on it too they have a nose for it. You give off a scent if you've been fucking. Not last nights seminal mess. I mean hormonally. They can unconsciously detect it like how men can unconsciously tell when women are ovulating. There is a compound interest effect. The most important thing to break a dryspell is to secure a single conquest. Youve got to get the ball rolling. Youve got to become a brute
