Products that should have succeeded #1: Bacon Lube

Waxy Inc. would like to apologise for the short absence: driving lessons and study, volunteering for a medical study, two weekends away, very minor injuries, a night course and a broken toilet have prevented regular posting. Normal services will resume shortly.

In the mean time, for your reading pleasure:

Poor marketing? Not enough capital? Just ahead of its time? In this, our first in a series of studies on failed projects, I ask for comment on why Bacon Lube “Keep it sizzlin’” failed?

Maybe people figured out the cheaper option was just to keep a bag of suet beside the bed?

Too much? I should have slipped this in unnoticed between regular posts?

If I die in a bacon zone…

… vacuum seal me and send me home.

We’re hatching plans. Deep in the drunken depths of an arts and crafts night we hatched plans. Plans for New Years Eve. Plans to go over the top. Plans for bacon.

New ordinance has come in and we’re itching to try some of these new toys out. Bacon weaves. Fat washed bourbon and more.

I don’t know if we’ll be able to come back from this one. I don’t know if we’ll be the same even if we do.

Bacon changes a man.

If I die of bacon…

A very short post as this week has, I’m afraid, been surprisingly busy. But Billy demands airtime so… so be it.

In honor the horror of no Irish pig coming fully into effect I present a link I’ve just been sent from a friend: http://www.holytaco.com/if-i-die-bacon-related-death-id-it-be-because.

To give you a preview of the delicious terror to come look at this:

The Woodsman

/

Controversial; a movie with a sympathetic child abuser as the focus of the story.

It’s a brilliant film. Kevin Bacon excels as Walter, the child abuser recently released from prison and trying so hard not to fail again. His barely restrained rage and confusion are expertly portrayed through body language and a limited vocabulary. Eve (a one word name; perhaps a Cher fan) is superbly cast as the girlfriend who “sees the good in him, even if he can’t see it himself”. Hannah Pilkes and Mos Def also add such depth to the accusations and shame that fill Walter’s life.

I found the pacing brilliant. The use of colour superb. Finally, that the movie’s climactic moments of painful catharsis are realised entirely through dialogue is incredible.

While Kevin Bacon’s comments that he did not consider a moral in the story but simply chose a good script is noteworthy; this is a thought-provoking and challenging story that is definitely worth making time for.




Suscribe to my drivelly ramblings

I want to kill everyone. Satan is good. Satan is my friend.
