Description:

Maurice Sendak’s WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE is my favorite children’s book, and one of my favorite all-time books, period. As a wee tyke, this book struck a chord within me that I didn’t understand at the time. I grew up in a different age and under circumstances different, sometimes far more different, from today’s. Continue readingWalken and WILD THINGS There is some evidence—And please do note that “evidence” does not equal definitive “proof”, as I have had complaints before from people I’ve interviewed, people who advocated for some theory or new perspective, people who got pissy when I refused to announce that they had definitive proof, despite their presentation of evidence, to support their Continue readingThank the Neanderthals for the Novel Coronavirus? I really like the Soska sisters. They’re young women (young attractive women, though that hardly matters), identical twins and hardcore geeks. *Talented* young female geeks, which is something even more rare. I’ve heard them speak on behind-the-scenes features in regards to their films and they seem like a couple of cool dudettes. But this director Continue readingSoska Sisters: Daughters of Darkness? This Mexican film was submitted for consideration for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars the year it was released (2017). It didn’t make the cut. I can’t remember which movie won in that category that year, but it doesn’t matter. I guarantee you, whatever that movie was, TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID was just as Continue readingMovie Review: TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID It is a sad fact of human nature that any movement, and every movement, no matter how pure, good, moral, or noble it is, will, given time, become coopted and corrupted by extremists. It’s also frustrating, if you’re one of those sufficiently educated to recognize this fact, in that you are powerless to ever keep Continue readingYour Weekly Dose of Stoopid: Fantasy Racism I have heard stories, as no doubt you, my readers, have also, wherein the narrator or the protagonist, at some point in the midst of the tale, will chance upon some person or thing that bears, or will bear, great significance for the former, and he or she will experience some feeling of portent, some Continue readingTHE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 30 If your knowledge of Norse mythology comes from the Marvel cinematic universe, in particular the Thor movies, you have a decent but imperfect education on the subject. There are things that the writers of those screenplays, and the comicbooks upon which those screenplays were based, changed for the benefit of the story. For example, the Continue readingCareful Where You Stick Your Hand, Tyr! I’m going to need to be careful with this one. It pisses me off, and thus I might be prone, were I not careful, to say something less nice than I ought to. It must be noted that the decision to pull her book came from author Alexandra Duncan. She was not forced to do Continue readingYour Weekly Dose of MORE Stoopid There’s a petition circulating demanding that Netflix remove M. Night Shyamalan’s SPLIT from its playlist. Why? Because it inaccurately depicts people who suffer from dissociative identity disorder? Wait, you mean people with DID don’t actually develop superpowers when they shift personalities?!?! Cry me a freakin’ river. Cancel Culture is so idiotic. It started out as Continue readingYour Weekly Dose of Stoopid: Cancel SPLIT I’m happy to announce that Nightmare Toys, my favorite of all stores, owned by my friends Kristy and Phillip and recently relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada from Madison, Alabama, continues to grow and prosper. This past week the announcement was made that Nightmare Toys had purchased Big Bang Toys, also in Las Vegas. While Nightmare Continue readingNIGHTMARE TOYS Acquires a Big Bang Sean Penn directed the movie INTO THE WILD in 2007. The film was based on the book of the same title by John Krakauer. Both told the story of 24-year-old Christopher McCandless who, disillusioned with the trappings of modern civilization, decided to make like Thoreau and live off the land. He hiked deep into the Continue readingOut of the Wild, or The Deathtrap Bus Goes on Walkabout David Lynch has been busy during the quarantine. Hopefully working on plans for a new season of TWIN PEAKS. He wouldn’t tell us if he was, though. He had the third season cooking for 25 years in his head while telling fans that he hadn’t even thought of such a thing. But he’s been making Continue readingLynch, on Lynch (and Other Stuff) As I sit typing these words, it is June 29th. This would have been Ray Harryhausen’s 100th birthday. The pioneer, the trendsetter and trailblazer, the master. Cinema as it exists today would not exist if it hadn’t been for Harryhausen. That’s not hyperbolic overstatement. It is a fact. Happy birthday, Ray—and thank you. Thinking about Continue readingHappy Birthday to the Master! This is not to say I did not entertain my own terrors at that moment. I have before mentioned my fear that the beast that possessed me would not, despite the gravity of the injury involved, allow me to die. What if, I thought as I sat there, the Hand did catch me, did crush Continue readingTHE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Part 29 It became obvious to me some weeks ago that if I was going to salvage an enjoyable summer in the midst of the ‘Rona madness, it was going to have to become a summer of drive-in movies and roadtrips. I took just such a roadtrip this past weekend to several of the filming locations for Continue readingSTRANGER THINGS Country, Part One Starcourt Mall in Hawkins is really Gwinnett Place Mall in Duluth, Georgia. It s a beautiful mall, but it s a ghost town these days, y all, and not because of the Rona pandemic. Almost every store in the place is closed. (And maybe the spirit of the Mindflayer!)Continue readingSTRANGER THINGS Country, Part Three: The Battle of Starcourt Mall More photos from my roadtrip to the filming locations for STRANGER THINGS! As a little bit of extra color commentary, as I was leaving the school I decided to drive around it, to see if there was something I might have missed. As I drove around behind the gymnasium, I interrupted a prostitute busy earning Continue readingSTRANGER THINGS Country, Part Two This past week brought the disappointing news that GODZILLA VS. KONG has been pushed back an entire year to summer of 2021. Which sucks. A tiny nugget of other kaiju-related news also came out. Michael Dougherty, director of GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS, shared a photo of his Kongzilla figure. This has people speculating that Continue readingKongzilla The giant hand stood in the midst of a large circular chamber, rising some fifteen feet above us, almost reaching the ceiling of the room. I had to admire the artistry that had rendered it. It looked so real, like the hand of a giant man turned from living flesh into stone, so smooth and Continue readingTHE CONFESSIONS OF SAINT CHRISTOPHER: WEREWOLF Chapter 28 If people are supposed to be socially distancing in real life—emphasis on the “supposed to be” part, as I’ve observed little in the way of it on my occasional outings—then actors in movies have to be socially distant, too. That means actors can never get closer to each other than six feet. No kisses, no Continue readingYour Weekly Dose of Stoopid The new game from Nacon and Cyanide Studios, WEREWOLF: THE APOCALYPSE—EARTHBLOOD (cool title) is still in development. When it releases you’ll be able to play it on your Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or online. Until then, you will have to content yourself with this new trailer. Shall we watch it together? Okay. Click here. Then Continue readingWEREWOLF: THE APOCALYPSE Trailer Unleashed The Dark Universe died an unglorified death after the failure of the remake of THE MUMMY. Then, in what seems like the twinkling of an eye, it was reborn. Fitting for a shared cinematic universe of the Universal Monsters, don’t you think? We’ve already had THE INVISIBLE MAN, which kicked major ass. We’ve got a Continue readingWhy did Romanek Walk on THE WOLFMAN? We received a press junket for the film THE DINNER PARTY, now available for livestreaming and on DVD. You can check out the trailer for it here. Here’s the official spiel: “Bill Sage (American Psycho, “Power”) and Jeremy London (Mallrats, The Devil’s Dozen) star in writer-director Miles Doleac’s The Dinner Party, now available on DVD Continue readingCome to Dinner Last week I made mention of Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London” in an article explaining why I don’t think it’s appropriate to do music reviews on a site like this one. Zevon’s song constituted one of the few exceptions when it’s not only okay to discuss music, it’s mandatory. What song even comes close to Continue readingDoin’ the Werewolves of London The editorial in this linked article really resonated with me. In many ways it is my story. I, as was the author, was raised in a fundamentalist Christian environment, although mercifully my mother wasn’t controlling and domineering the way his parents seem to have been. She never really knew what to make of my passion Continue readingLosing Religion and Finding Faith
