On the Death of A Scream Queen

April 17th, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

It’s hard to remember just what life was like in the 60’s. I can remember walking home in the dark after seeing a midnight showing of Night of the Living Dead and being scared out of my wits at every noise and shadow , along with my mates who were playing Macho games, being just […]

March 5th, 2008 | Posted in Comics, Daily Rants, Literature, Movies, TV

 So, the other night I am watching the exciting 2 hour finale of the shortened season of Sarah Conner Chronicles (I am deeply disappointed by their idea of climax), when my wife turns to me and sez….”you know, I don’t much care for this show. It’s too noisy.” OK, she was tired and when I […]

The Day The Earth Stood Still (and we don’t mean the WGA Strike) 2008

January 28th, 2008 | Posted in Daily Rants, Movies

Hey kinds, let’s remake another classic! Never mind that the subtext is irrelevant. Never mind that the original characters were stereotypes.
