Some nice pics from movies we have seen recently.

1: The Matador.

2: An english documentary about the search for the country's best WC.

Melonio, Montevideo 177

Melonio is a rather strange little bar. The walls are covered with porn and heavy metal posters, so it might not be the perfect place to bring a date. Note the informative piece of paper above the urinal. Picture 3 is from the entrance of the ladies' room.

Unione e Benevolenza, Perón 1372

A fine basement for rock&roll concerts, this one. Not the most underground of the basements Buenos Aires has to offer - entrance and beer are more expensive than elsewhere, and smoking is only allowed in the back - but it's a nice place.

Bar & Pool Imaginate, Sarmiento al 1600

Imaginate is a beautiful place. Cheap beer in 1 l bottles, open till 6 a.m. The jukebox offers a variety of cumbias.

Tomo I, Carlos Pellegrini 521, Buenos Aires

Tomo Uno is located close to the obelisco, and is perhaps the finest restaurant in town. Excellent food and, more important, shiny WCs.

Ferretería, Puriscal, Costa Rica

Puriscal appears to have it all. Chicharrones, chinchorros and an impressive range of WCs in different colours.

Cafe Il Duo

If you ever find your self in need of a WC near Plaza Irlanda, you would find one at Cafe Il Duo. It works perfectly.

Bellagamba 2

Bellagamba dos in Caballito (Av. Gaona 1327) has the same happy feeling as nr. 1 in Rivadavia, perhaps caused by those marvellously cheap beers and tasty empanadas, but it's larger and has a small patio which is open during the day. They're also working on a second floor, where smoking will be allowed and probably encouraged.

Cafe de la Subasta

Cafe de la Subasta, Rio de Janeiro 54.

A great place, open every night from 18 till late. Pooltables, a fireplace, smoking area upstairs and ridiculously strong gin&tonics.

Pool San Bernardo

Pool San Bernardo, in Corrientes not far from Malabia at subte B, is probably the most perfect bar in the universe. Not only is the beer cheap and plentiful, it also has a lot of pool tables, entertaining senior citizens and, alas!, ping pong tables in the smoking area for those of us who take sports seriously.

Picture 1 is from the ladies' room, thanks to MJ for the research.

It´s the arts! 15: Bug

Ashley Judd trying hard to take a dump, wondering why nothing happens (pic 1), then finally breaking down when she realizes that her efforts are useless (pic 2). This triggers some serious paranoia, but despite the best efforts of the director and actors, no other scene is as breathtakingly beautiful, yet disturbing, as the WC scene. Similar things could be said about any movie, I guess.

Superclásico River - Boca 07.10.2007

These pictures are from the ladies' room at a bar located in Piedras / Carlos Calvo. Being practically the only place in town with cable tv, the bar was packed with football fans. Talking about cable, the one on the pictures is not an IWCRP product. What appears to be a miniature Obelisco replica simply would not disappear, despite frantic flushing. We suspect that a Boca fan left it there, as the WC no doubt reminds of the no less polluted Riachuelo.

This one is from the rather conventional Stephen King film 1408, which gets our goodwill for having two toilets in one scene.

And this is a shot from one of the key scenes in the masterpiece Planet Terror, a classic zombie-movie taken further than previously thought possible, one of the best films ever.

The last one is from In the Land of the Women, this is a shot of a hot naked asian teen pissing on her twin sister.

Some would say it's not, but I say it is, since these phrases appear to be an incredibly effective way to lure innocent googlers. As it turns out, a lot of our visitors googled the term "ladies room", now let's see what effect our naughty, filthy, asian twin nurses will have on the visitors count. If it doesn't work, the next post will be about two donkeys and an old lady.

The first two pictures are from Big Nothing, the third one is from insanely silly and boring Lucky You, the fourth is from the slightly disappointing Puzzlehead, and the last two I can't remember.
