an excerpt from the early draft of an intro to a mini essay i’m writing on mermaid while i wait for the dvd to arrive so i can listen to that juicy director’s commentary.
doug doesn’t fuck the fish, and largely seems uninterested by sex entirely despite what trailers might lead you to assume. on top of that, destiny is paralleled to both his dead mum and ex wife. shits wild
(this movie makes me feel like i'm losing my mind)
#mermaid#mermaid 2025#doug nelson#destiny mermaid#johnny pemberton#tyler cornack#mermaid mini essays#AAAAA#just-#he just wants to be treated like a human being#that’s it#and he makes some HORRIBLE decisions#including toting around destiny like a trophy#and loud dubiously consensual sex with a stranger so that his dad might hear and treat him better#but at the end of the day he wants to be treated like a person#fuck man :(
