Random Bits And "Babblage" : The 39 Week 16 Round Up/Update [T39W16RU/U]
It's the last weekend before All Hallow's/Hallowe'en/Samhain/etc. ... unsurprisingly I have no plans - hells, I haven't done/had a Hallowe'en weekend in a long time - let alone even DONE anything for the holiday. I do buy candy, but I haven't had a single knock on my door in several years now *shrugs*.
Oh well...
speaking of the horror season... ah - election season is in full force.
what other time of year do you get to respond to automated polls that don't offer/allow honest answers and are obviously skewed one direction or the other.
I've gotten several "poll" calls and, while I did my best to respond as close to accurate as possible, they were each and every one skewed...
according to these "polls" I'm both for and against each candidate... which is humerous as I support neither one.

Moving on - Zathuji...?! *ahem*
Jumanji - (Dec 15th) 1995
Zathura - (Nov 11th) 2005
two entirely different yet genre-related films, both being adapted from children's books of the same names...
while, unfortunately, Van Allsburg hasn't made a third story along the same vein, I would still love to see a third film
( 2015? to correspond with the prior releases? )!
now...
we've had the jungle dice game of Jumanji, that brought part of the game into the real world
we've had the sci-fi clockwork game of Zathura, that pulled the players' home into the game
SO... what kind of board game this time, in what genre?
I admit, I'm probably one of very few that liked Favreau-directed Zathura better than Johnston-directed Jumanji, but that's just my personal opinion.
( both are decent directors... both having directed Marvel Studios films as well! )
ANYways... been tryin' to watch at least one horror flick a night - even if it's a cheezy or humerous one (hells, all the better if it's cheezy and/or humerous *grins*)!
Thankfully I have a good share of multiple horror genres to pick from in my personal collection...
maybe I should make this a Cinematiq Horror Weekend, since I won't be doing anything remotely Hallowe'en related otherwise??
