THE EMPEROR’S NEW GROOVE (2000) dir. Mark Dindal
芙蓉镇 Hunan province, China
Furong Town (芙蓉镇/Fu Rong Zhen) is a town in mountainous northwest Hunan. It’s well known for its scenic location, situated on cliffs above a waterfall that falls into the You River.
BEYOND obsessed with this house in fort worth, texas i mean
okay pretty normal, let’s look at the interior photos—
WHAT THE FUCK
here we see the first example of a pattern that will recur throughout the house, which is that once your eyes adjust to the bonkers dictator chic marble-and-gilded-everything, you notice some pretty egregiously shoddy workmanship. look at how that baseboard intersects with the outlet. look at how the marble… uh, thing on the wall (i was gonna call it a fireplace but it’s not a fireplace, i have no idea what that is) has gaps and weird angles wherever two pieces meet. it’s like they’re trying to recreate versailles on an ikea budget
i… don’t hate the kitchen. i mean, obviously it’s ugly and #toomuch and there was zero effort made to match the very modern appliances and sink to the cabinets, but still, i’m a sucker for a pass-through and a big sink with a window above it.
this ceiling Fucks but the wrinkly, uneven curtains and terrible caulking around the faux-column in the middle anti-Fuck
why did we suddenly completely switch aesthetics. why is there an old TV set into the wall at floor level. why is there a tiny set of doors next to it. why does the fireplace look like an asset ripped from the original dark souls. i feel a sinister presence sucking at my soul the longer i look at this photo
i feel like whoever designed this monstrosity started with the dining room and then once they’d finished it realized they’d blown half their budget on just this one room. it’s so overdecorated that the gaudiness feels intentional, like it’s a statement rather than a side effect of genuine tastelessness. i can applaud that.
here we have the antithesis of the dining room. i don’t know what this room is supposed to be but i hate it. i’m pretty sure everything in this photo literally came from ikea. there is a lack of commitment here and it is rancid
ladies, gentlemen, distinguished colleagues, we have now hit the cornerstone of any great tacky real estate listing: the heart-shaped bathtub! this one gets bonus points for being next to a gilded mirror and surrounded by bright red damask wallpaper. as a bathtub i’d give it a 1/10 because those angles look incredibly uncomfortable, but as a place to shoot my lover through the heart while wearing a gauzy fur-trimmed bathrobe before fleeing with our ill-gotten fortune i’d give it a solid 11/10
here we are with the lack of commitment again. this literally looks like the kitchen in my college dorm but with a weird fringey lamp and some curtains that are absolutely too long for their windows
again, the mix of styles here is just killing me. half damask wallpaper and carved wall panels, half normal-ass bathroom? really? isn’t there anything truly unhinged left in this house? anything truly opulent, decadent, off the chain, extravagant, gaudy—
THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT BAY BEE!!! THAT’S MORE THE FUCK LIKE IT!!! COMMIT! TO! THE! BIT! GO BIG OR GO HOME! IF YOU’RE GONNA STICK A CEILING DOME IN THE FOYER OF YOUR SUBURBAN TEXAS HOUSE IT HAD BETTER BE TWELVE FEET IN DIAMETER AND PAINTED WITH DOZENS OF FLOWERS OR ELSE WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE??
and finally, to close out the show, a reminder that this entire acid trip of a real estate listing took place in an ordinary, modern single-story house in texas, one with a backyard and utility boxes on the exterior walls and neighbors who may be blissfully unaware that they live mere feet from a yawning pit of madness.
i love tacky real estate listings.
Okay, 3 days and 11,000+ notes later, I finally finished writing the descriptions for all these images. I apologize if I made any mistakes—I don’t know enough about architecture to even know what I’m looking at in half of these photos, the pictures aren’t very high-resolution, and there is a lot going on in this house.
[Image descriptions:
image 1: An exterior photo of a small, one-story house with red brick walls and a gray roof. There is a large, arched doorway approximately in the middle of the house. Tall, thin arched windows are placed at intervals along the front wall of the house, with long white curtains visible through them. The front yard is surrounded by an iron fence with red brick posts. The yard itself contains a few large shrubs. The left third of the house is a garage and driveway.
image 2: A room with white walls, a white marble floor, and Baroque-style gilding on the doorframes and ceiling. A crystal chandelier with fake candles, one of which has a burned-out lightbulb, hangs from the ceiling. There are two doors in the room, both of them white. The one on the right has elaborate gilded panels that match the doorframes and ceiling. The one on the left is an ordinary bifold door with slats on the upper half. On the wall without the doors, there are two rumpled, unevenly hung white-and-gold damask curtains with a rose-colored tasseled valance hung in between two fake Ionic columns covered with gold. Unless otherwise noted, all rooms from here on out also have white marble floors and no furniture.
image 3: Another view of the same room. There is an open, gilded doorway on one wall, through which is visible a bathroom with red walls and a bathtub set into the floor, both of which are shown in detail later in the post. Next to the doorframe is an electrical outlet, which is low enough to the ground that the undecorated white baseboard had to be cut away in that spot to avoid covering it. On the other wall is an ornate metal clock and a white marble structure. On its upper half, the structure has a large, empty square alcove flanked by two small columns with a gilded mantel on top. On its lower half, the structure has a smaller rectangular alcove above a drawer with a gilded decoration on the front. The wall behind both alcoves has small holes cut near the bottom like you’d snake electrical cables through, suggesting the alcoves may have once contained a TV and a DVD player or something of that nature. The drawer below the rectangular niche has a significant gap between it and the rest of the structure on one corner, as though it either was cut too small or is sitting on its track unevenly.
image 4: A kitchen with powder-blue Baroque cabinets with brass handles, marble countertops, two modern white wall ovens, a modern white stove hood above a modern black electric cooktop, and a large white porcelain sink with a modern silver-colored faucet. There is a small arched window above the sink and a pass-through on the side of the kitchen with the cooktop, stove hood, and ovens, but very little is visible through either the window or the pass-through. The wall of the hallway next to the kitchen is covered in a diamond-textured dark gold wallpaper.
image 5: Another view of the first room. More of the ceiling is now visible: the chandelier hangs from the center of a gold dome surrounded by carved angels with their wings painted white. A white door with gilded panels is visible on the far wall.
image 6: A large room in a completely different architectural style. The floor is covered with discolored orange carpet, while the walls and ceiling are covered with pale wood interspersed with black beams. A very large metal chandelier hangs from the ceiling. On the far wall, an archway and step with a wrought-iron railing lead into the dining room, of which very little is visible. On the only other visible wall, a pair of miniature square black wooden doors with gray rivets is set into the wall next to an old-fashioned TV with a rounded screen and dials, which is also set into the wall at floor level. The doors and the TV are no more than 2 or 3 feet tall, while the majority of the wall above them is taken up by what appears to be some kind of glass-fronted display case built into the wall. Next to the TV, doors, and display case is a floor-to-ceiling fireplace made entirely of plain gray brick, except for an ornate black-and-silver mantle. There are a few indistinct items sitting on the fireplace. On the other side of the fireplace, the edge of another wall display case is visible.
images 7 and 8: The dining room, a room with light blue walls with extensive gilded decorations. The ceiling is a large, oval dome painted with a blue sky and clouds and carved with painted cherubs and gilded hearts. A crystal chandelier hangs from the center of the ceiling. Image 8 shows the pass-through to the kitchen, above which is a small wall painting of two nude figures surrounded by more gilded carvings. Image 7 shows the opposite wall, which contains three empty alcoves.
image 9: A small, narrow room with a white bifold slatted door, some white particle-board shelves, and white cabinets with plastic handles. Other than the marble floor, wrinkled white damask curtains, a small crystal chandelier, and a carved wooden screen beneath one of the shelves, nothing about the room reflects the Baroque style of the rest of the house.
images 10 and 11: A bathroom with red damask wallpaper and a small heart-shaped bathtub made of white marble with carved bronze faucets. The bathtub is set into a small raised platform. The wall next to the bathtub is covered by a floor-to-ceiling mirror with a gilded frame. A small, arched window on another wall above the tub has a gilded frame carved to look like Corinthian columns. There is a small crystal chandelier hanging above the tub. Part of the bathroom sink is reflected in the mirror.
(Quick break from the description to editorialize: Yes, I’m pretty sure this is supposed to be a tub even though it looks weird and small. If you click the link to the listing, there are other photos of this bathroom that show the sink and help make the perspective clearer. Okay, back to the description.)
images 11 and 12: A room with undecorated white walls and more of the same plain white cabinets with plastic handles seen in image 9. As in image 9, the room does not reflect the Baroque style of the other rooms aside from the white marble floor, a chandelier with a jagged black and white fringe, and two purple curtains over the windows. The curtains are wrinkled and puddling on the floor from being hung too low on the wall.
image 13: A partial view of a bathroom. The upper half of the walls is covered with a light blue and white damask wallpaper, while the bottom half of the walls and the walls of the shower are covered with white tile with blue trim. The shower has a sliding frosted glass door with a gray metal frame. The far wall contains a series of carved white panels or cabinets with gilded decorations.
image 14: The foyer of the house, a medium-sized room with carved white and gilded wall panels, a large gilded archway leading to the black and gilded front door, and a large dome taking up almost the entire ceiling. The edges of the dome are white with gilded decorations and carved, painted pink flowers, while the middle of the dome is painted a dark magenta, with a symmetrical pattern of flowers radiating from the center and decorated in varying colors of purple, pink, and gold. A large crystal chandelier with electric candles hangs from the center of the dome; as in the first room, one of the candle bulbs is burned out. Two smaller lights, one of which is also burned out, hang from the corners of the ceiling outside the dome. An electrical cable is attached to the wall with blue tape but is not plugged into anything.
image 15: Part of the house’s yard, showing one of the brick exterior walls with various utility boxes on it, a pile of hoses or cables, some grass, and a couple of trees.
