Too Subtle?

Found this urinal the other day:



I'm not sure if it's trying to be phallic or just pointing to where I should pee, or both...

Hungry Blasphemy

A local Church sign last night:

The hell? I almost want to go to this church to see what the frak they're going to talk about. GREAT Rock Band name too...

Misfortune Cookies

I once had a "friend" who thought it would be funny to make a bunch of fortune cookies with bad advice and horrible futures instead of the uplifting kind. I got this in my fortune cookie tonight:

Looks like she got her wish. Figures I'd get one of the first...

More Nightmarish Movies

At long last I've almost finished the Horrorfest. Over all, I can honestly say that I'm just fine missing this year's run of horror movies.

Nighmare Man wasn't horrible, it just wasn't good. Some of the dialogue was actually decent, but the over all movie kinda blew. It almost seemed as if the makers were trying to make a movie like Scream, one that pokes fun at horror movies in general, but didn't know how. Where Scream was a fun movie, this one bored me to tears. The movie has your standard "look at this pretty mask I found, it summons demons. Isn't it pretty?" plotline. Throw in some late night Cinemax aspects and you have a movie "unfit for general release". Not that this is really the case. Yet again the only reason I can see for this movie not being released is that it's just not good enough.

Tooth and Nail is about a post apocalyptic band of survivors running from a group of cannibals. Again nothing real redeeming here. Bad acting, bad scripting, cheesey special effects all lead to a crap movie. The best part is that it's only 90 minutes long, a tad less with strategic fast forwarding. It's a sad thing when you turn off the movie and find yourself glad that Robocop is on. Here I thought Nightmare Man was boring.

If I didn't only have one movie left I would throw the towel in...

Fortunes and Debauchery

Well, we're back from Vegas. Dr Heimlich summed up the best part of the trip quite well, so I won't go into that too much. Except maybe to add that that insane winning experience totally jaded me with any other winnings I had (which were few and far between). Every victory, including decent poker winnings and other craps winning, felt hollow. Fun, but hollow.

I should also mention that the leader of the pack (the bachelor) went on that night to place $20 on a roulette table and win $350, Win $130 in penny slots ,won a $100 hand of blackjack and also walked away a winner at a $25 craps table (though a small winner). I'll refrain from any jokes about it being the last time he'll get lucky multiple times in one night.

My first night there was...eventful. Let's just say most of the night is a blur, up till I awoke at 5 am on the bathroom floor by the toilet - at least I made it back to the correct room. Poor DrH had every reason that night to kick me out and make me sleep in the hallway...

This picture pretty well sums up the first night:

Yeah...There were ugly moments., but a lot of good ones too. At least that's what I'm told...

More "horror"

After finishing Borderlands, the next movie on my list of the Horrorfest, I'm happy to report that my expectations have been met, mostly. Third times a charm? This film actually has fairly disturbing moments, and is just generally creepy. This is most likely due to the fact that it's based on true events in Mexico in 1989. A drug cartel became involved in the occult, believing that human sacrifice would help with their operation by making them invisible and invincible.

Anyway, with the disturbing images and overall uneasiness the film causes, I can see why it belongs on this "too gruesome for release" list.

Lake Dead definitely has a few moments of frakked up scenes and also belongs on this list. Unfortunately, the movie blows goats. Take a little Jason Meyers, add a dash of The Hills Have Eyes stir in some incest and voila! You've got a Horrorfest movie, just not a good one.

Unfortunately this movie has nothing really new, poor acting and below average writing - miss it.

Unearthed wasn't quite as bad, but had no real redeeming factors either. Add to that the total lack of gruesomeness and it's a definite wast of time, though the main actor is pretty hot.

Not that that's a reason to waste 2 hours, usually...

Targeting Cups

For the last year or so, every time I've been in a Super Target, I've found an empty Starbucks cup lying on a shelf somewhere in the store. On one hand it makes me chuckle because it's been so consistent. On the other it's sad that people are this frelling lazy.

Anyway, it's become a game now. Who can find it first?


Try it, I guarantee you'll see them too.
