So this is not exact, but it is inspired by a movie I traveled to ye olde theatre to see – You’re Next. It’s a slashery/home invasion horror movie and I enjoyed the hell out of it. Most of it, anyway. It’s got a pretty decent set of well-rounded characters, some humor and a healthy …

This was an experiment. I had read something about how Stuart Immonen (my favorite mainstream comic artist) used a black coloring pencil to draw “Superman: Secret Identity”. I wanted to try it out for myself, see what would happen. I saw Pacific Rim again last night. Still incredibly good, think I liked it better, actually. …

I watched Birdemic: Shock and Terror last night. On purpose. I had seen it in a theater last year as part of a RiffTrax live event. It was pretty great. This time, however, no RiffTraxing was involved. Just plain ol’ Netflix. By itself, it is still incredibly hilarious. It is the worst. Right now, I’m …

I went to see Pacific Rim. It’s fantastic. It’s giant monsters fighting giant robots, but it also has heart to spare with likeable, sympathetic characters, humor and charm. The action is believable, easy on the eyes and still frenetic. Despite copious amounts of destruction, consequences still feel real. Godzilla and Cloverfield can go fuck off. …

So Netflix – which has a history recommending bizarre bullshit with their system – has added a new “feature” called Max. It’s an interactive version of their recommendation system, and as far as I can tell it ups the level of their bullshit to a whole new degree. I decided to try it out. It’s …

For the life of me, I couldn’t tell you why I would ever think of the band Cracker, ever. So. I love big dumb action movies. The dumber and more ‘splodey they are, the better I like ’em. But apparently, there is a limit to how dumb a big dumb action movie can get before …
88. Spider-Woman
So, there’s an idiot what lives in my pants. About 20 some days ago, I misread what number the previous post was and jumped ahead. I just noticed this mistake yesterday. It’s resolved now. So instead of Sketch-A-Day 2.0 #90, today is #88. Thank you for bearing with me during this troubling time. I’ve always …

Movies? I seen ’em. 4/19 Witchfinder General. Apparently, it looks like Netflix is getting rid of all Vincent Price movies on May 1st, so I’m watching the ones in my queue, I guess. Like this one. Which was okay. Loosely (very, very, very loosely – like gangbang pornstar loose) based on a true story of …
66. Blacula
Feeling a little better today. All I want to do, though, is veg out and play video games. Cannot. Will not. So as I ate dinner last night, I flipped through the channels to find that Scream Blacula Scream (the sequel to Blacula, which I’ve never seen) was on tv. And I watched it. It’s …
Ok, PANIC!: Sean Hartter Tribute
This was a “me” pick. Sean was a friend of a friend who had died, and I believe my friend asked if I could pick this as a topic. Sean often made alternative movie posters, so that was the gist. For some reason, this one for the underrated Bubba Ho-Tep came to mind. Again, always …
