Been avoiding just about everything. No time to watch movies or write blog entries when my little world is crashing down. Dealing with the wreckage of divorce was a tad bit easier than I thought it would be but it ate up so much of my energy that I couldn’t even update the main site last week. But that was then and this is now. Time to get back down to it. Main site updated. Got lots of time on my hands now. Gonna fill this bitch up. Everybody else has one. Might as well join the club. 50. SIN CITY FOUR WOMEN I WOULD SIT THROUGH ANYTHING FOR 4. Barbara Bouchet 3. Asia Argento 2. Christina Lindberg 1. Edwige Fenech Yummy. 15 Mini-Rants… 1. To all you TWILIGHT fans, if your entire line of defense boils down to “well, in the books they…” or “if you read the books you’d…” then you have no line of defense. I shouldn’t have to read four books to understand what is going on or what the characters motivations are in a movie. I didn’t have to read the Harry Potter books to “get” the films nor did I have to read the Lord of the Rings trilogy to “get” the movies. Your favorite films are flawed and pathetic. Time to grow up. 2. To Stephanie Meyers, congratulations! You’ve single-handedly managed to set feminism back 25 years! You fucking twit. 3. To horror fanboys, if you’re going to spend half your time bitching about remakes and the other half watching sequels, might I suggest you shut the fuck up. You’re part of the problem. 4. To Christians, this is not, nor has it ever been, a “Christian nation”. Get over it. 5. To podcasters, pick a schedule and stick with it. I need to be distracted while I’m at work and you bastards are not helping. Ben and Dan, I’m looking at you. 6. To Christmas shoppers, if you choose to wait to go shopping during the busiest hours of the day, don’t complain that you have to stand in line. You should have gotten out earlier. Stuff it. 7. To Kim, if I still wanted you in my life, I wouldn’t have dumped your psychotic ass 10 years ago. Seek help. 8. To all those people out there that think Christmas is the greatest time of the year, knock it off. You’re depressing me. I hope you choke. 9. To the assholes at Facebook, I think I know better than you who I would like to add to my friends list. There’s a reason I’ve avoided the assholes I went to school with for all these years. 10. To the jerk-off who decided to let their dog sit on my sidewalk, if I find you, I will beat you to death. With your dog. 11. To the people who come up to me and ask for change, get a job. If you can’t find a job, rob a bank. Either way, leave me the fuck alone. 12. To those people who think the world is going to end in 2012, I hope it does. Just so I can get away from your stupid asses. 13. To Glenn Beck, please start taking your medication. You’re scaring the children. 14. To all the movie studios, putting a Larry King quote on the front of your DVDs does not make me want to buy them. It just tells me that you couldn’t get someone who matters to give you a quote. 15. To all you people reading this, feel free to leave pissy comments. Because I need a number 16. Ok, I know, I know… I promised something substantial on the blog last week and I really, REALLY meant to write something but, you see, work was a pain in the ass and I had another site I was… Ah fuck it. I’m a lazy prick. I know that. I promised something interesting and skipped on it yet again. People have e-mailed me wondering why I never write anything and I always come back with the same excuses. So, this week, I’ll promise nothing. I’m 3/4 done with my genre apology article, though. So all you loyal readers WILL have something to waste your time on this week. For those of you who are interested in having some kind of dialog with me, please skip the e-mail and visit the forum instead. I have an in-box full of stuff to read and I’m getting really backlogged. If you’re writing me to say “Nice review!”, please don’t. If you’re writing me to say “Fuck you!”, please don’t. I don’t have the time to read those e-mails and I usually have nothing to say in return. Just go to the forum, find the review you’re agreeing or disagreeing with and post your thoughts there. I have three reviews up for the weekend: and I need to get a nice review done for the Miscellany section. Any suggestions? Another Halloween has come and gone much too quickly. Now I have absolutely nothing to look forward to for 12 long months. I don’t celebrate Christmas. I could care less about New Years. February 14th is just another day… Sigh… It’s gonna be a long 12 months. Anyhow… three new reviews for the week: Black Demons, Keep checking back this week as I plan on writing a bit about the “Torture Porn” label and it’s validity plus another entry about Genre Apology. Three added… two more to come (hopefully) real soon: Enjoy! So here they are… my 150 favorite horror films. Now, let me make a few things clear before we start: 1. I included a few sci-fi films that tip their toes into the horror waters. With all that being said, here they are: 150. Q, The Winged Serpent There they are. If you feel I rated something too high, too low or just flat out disagree, feel free to leave a comment. Added two new reviews with a two more to come early this week. Click HERE! to read a review of Fulci’s ZOMBIE. Click HERE! to read a review of Adam Green’s HATCHET. So this week Sam Raimi’s DRAG ME TO HELL comes out on DVD and I’m quite excited. I only saw it once in the theater and had a hard time enjoying it thanks to the loud-mouth fuckwads sitting behind me. I’m seriously considering skipping the theaters all together and just waiting for DVDs to be released. I can’t seem to go to the theater anymore without having to sit with a bunch of pricks who can’t keep their mouths shut. Fucking ridiculous. This week will also see the release of HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME on a brand new disc. Not so excited about that one. I love the HALLOWEEN season for many reasons but chief among them is the ability to walk into virtually any store that sells DVDs and find copious amounts of catalog titles on sale for dirt cheap. Just this week I’ve managed to pick up CANDYMAN, FRIGHT NIGHT, POLTERGEIST, PATRICK, STRANGE BEHAVIOR, APRIL FOOL’S DAY and PROM NIGHT 2 for about $5.00 each. Love it. I also managed to snag THE CHILDREN, GRACE, and REINCARNATION for $10.00 each at Suncoast this weekend. Very nice. Be sure to leave a comment here if you come across any great deals online or off. I have money to spend and nowhere to go with it. |
