Here we go, into another episode of "Fractured Fairy Tales". There once was a kid named Duane. Duane was just your average kid, except that his brother Belial grew out of his right side for the first twelve years of his life! One day, their daddy decided radical surgery was Duane's only chance at salvaging a normal life. But, after the surgery, little Duane didn't want to lose his favorite birth defect, so he and Belial cut their bald-chested daddy in half and moved to NYC. The fresh faced punk and his mysterious basket move into an apartment building inhabited by some frighteningly wacky tenants. While in the beautiful toilet that is New York, they take in a Kung-Fu movie, make some friends, pick up a chick, and exact revenge upon the doctors who separated them. One night, Duane and his friend (the building's resident whore) get completely sloshed and Duane spills his guts about Belial. Later, Belial swipes the whore's panties and attempts to make out with her. But, she's not THAT drunk (I know how he feels). Afterwards, Belial goes into a rage of penis envy, strangles Duane's babe, and throws himself and his brother out of a window. Despite death, I guided their souls back to the land of the living so they could put out 2 more movies! Death can't stop Hollywood! This was a GREAT movie and well deserving of gold status! Belial looked like Krang from the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" cartoons, and he ate an awful lot for being only half a man! This was a great movie, blending such horror, dark comedy, and just plain bizarre elements and pulling it off nicely! It's like "Rain Man" if Dustin Hoffman were a homicidal mutant living in a basket! It'd make a great "Springer" episode and is a tribute to it's genre!
