Dungeon Noodles

This was an incredibly interesting story out of Austria that I caught on my news trip yesterday. This girl was kidnapped eight years ago and escaped earlier this week from her master who kept her in a homemade suburban dungeon. Natascha Kampusch was held and basically raised by this creepy guy while his neighbors and family never questioned this girl that they sometimes saw around his place. It is surreal and crazy, and is likely to become an oddly twisted movie that should be directed by Chan Wook Park or I'd dare to even say Takashii Miki.

"I called him 'Master'..."

The Austrian nation is really hopped up over all of this and it has caused a national discussion on the psychological effects of this experience. Likely, as an after affect of Sigmund Freud - who also lived in the area where the girl was kidnapped from. The family has been reunited with this girl in what has been described as something that could only be seen in the movies. I seriously feel this story is way more interesting than the dumb and tired Jean-Benet Ramsey saga.

As a Lodge question: What thriller movies does this story most closely resemble to you guys? & Why do our social institutions continue to not notice creepy mental guys!?

Stockholm Syndrome is almost as creepy as the Austrian "Buffalo Bill" type character..while I'm eladed that this girl is finally getting a chance to enjoy sunshine again...she has a lifetime of situations that she'll never be comfortable in...this Austrian guy is officially nominated into the anti-Lodge HOF...

Buffalo Bill is who he reminds me of a lot too. And maybe the creepy guy in The Cell minus the hooks and drownings. Amazing story... a movie adaptation would be lame.

Cartman: It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

Cartman: Yes, that's a good Precious. Okay, now it puts the lotion back in the basket.

Polly Prissy Pants: Please, mister, let me out.

Cartman: It puts the lotion back in the basket!

Cartman: [throws a fit] Put the lotion in the f****n' basket!
