What's snappinin' Huggles? That's a Great Space Coaster shout out. No?
No g-news is good g-news, with Gary...Gnue. Nothing? So forget it then. Whatever.
Thar be strange breezes a'blowin mates. Elissa may be returning to Cleveland soon and she's visiting this weekend. Last weekend didn't work out so I went home to Dayton for a change. Came back Sunday for the Ted Leo show at the Grog Shop and she and Brooke went to that as well. Brooke is a diabolical flirt. An irritating distraction from hermitdom. Makes me want to start getting out more.
DeAnne is NOT taking her breakup well. I mean like at all. I wonder what happened. I'll never know for sure and from the sounds of things neither will she.
I'm DJing again at Duck Island on the 20th. I should really get my fliers out. Andrea did another amazing job - using the movie poster for "Teenage Jailbait" -- some early 70s grindhouse flick -- and photoshopping it.
Rest in peace B-Ware. I can't believe I'll never be able to rent there again. They're selling their stock at $10 a pop for anything in the store. I went up today and snagged some gems but I felt like I was picking the bones of a loved one. So I stumbled upon the Matthew Bright Ted Bundy movie. Fucking dark brilliance. I'll have to do a Matthew Bright double feature and have Jen and Scrappy over for Freeway and Bundy. Also grabbed Black Christmas which I've not seen but I've read a lot about. Influential to Halloween I guess. Sounds like a good slasher flick anyway.
Six Feet Under is not dissappointing this season but is beginning to travel into some very creepy places. Nate's meltdown is getting harder to watch.
Obsessions of the Moment:
Ginger Snaps Back
Michelle
Superman
my photography
Brooke
Beth
wearing this hat
the plot for "Premenstrul Telepathy and the Walking Dead" - the title too.
the Real World, San Diego cast...they'll be missed
...here's this...
THE EMBALMER
This nearly incomprehensible Italian (I think.) horror flick is dead serious about it's scuba-gear-wearing "monster" who kidnaps beautiful women, kills them, embalms them and keeps them in a collection. There are a few creepy images but mostly this is good for solid laughs. Someone raided the public domain library for the wildly inconsistent score that is so ill-suited to the images, you may forget it's NOT a put-on. There are even moments when it sounds like there may be two separate scores playing at once! Fun. **
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2003
I don't care what anyone says, this movie drives like a dream. A retelling of the classic, the makers clearly have a respect for the source material. The story is the same but the details are different. Leatherface is the only mainstay. He's got a bigger family this time around (maybe too big) and one of them is R. Lee Ermy - more sadistic and malevolent than ever before. Jessica Biel is a solid heroine. The opening hitchiker scene is a shocker. Gorier than I expected and darker than most mainstream horror flicks. The cinematography is oddly beautiful and the gritty feel of the original is intact. Pretty brutal, mostly humorless, consistently compelling and damn scary. The DVD special edition contains an alternate opening and close that were wisely cut. ***
