It's Here, It's Here!!!!!!!

October is on its way......and sometime tomorrow I'll be starting my 31 Days of Halloween posts, along with all these wonderful blogs listed here:

Countdown to Halloween

Even if I didn't have a calendar or was completely unaware of the weather outside, I'd still know October was near because I wake up to this on one side of me:


and this:
on the other.

One day they're stretched out on the stone tables and sleeping under the ceiling fans, and then suddenly they're sacked out next to me stealing the warm and pretending they've been there all year long.

Fall is officially here.

See you tomorrow.......

Thank you,

Now go read her AWESOME blog.

This Is Why I Loved This Man

Because when he read this scene, he didn't say, 'You want me to skate around and take off my belt and do what?"
No, he said 'Give me that belt. I'ma hit this out of the park.'



I know Dirty Dancing and Ghost are probably his best known movies, but Roadhouse is one of my most favorite guiltiest pleasure movies EVER



And if you haven't watched this at least once today, now's your chance. I only wish this didn't have the ending removed where they give it to Swayze and he tells Farley that he thought that Farley was going to win....

Watch more My Video videos on AOL Video

and I think one of the most fun roles he ever did was the informercial king in Donnie Darko.



In fact, I'm going to go watch it right now........
Rest in Peace Patrick. Thanks for all the fun.

Sooooooooooooooooo Excited

DO FREAKING WANT

From Amazon:
"Over fifty years ago, with the release of The Curse of Frankenstein and Christopher Lee in Dracula, Hammer ushered in a whole new era of blood and barely restrained cleavage in glorious colour, mixing sex and horror with a style and panache that made the small British company world famous.

Bursting at the seams with rare and previously unpublished photographs from Hammer’s archive and private collections worldwide, and featuring many new interviews, Hammer Glamour is a lavish, full colour celebration of Hammer’s female stars, including Ingrid Pitt, Martine Beswick, Caroline Munro, Barbara Shelley, Joanna Lumley, Nastassja Kinski, and of course Raquel Welch (who can forget her fur bikini in One Million Years B. C.?) "

Did I ever tell ya that Ingrid Pitt emailed me once? Oh yeah baby, yes she did.

Order it for me here.

God Bless the Canadians

Because they're the only country taking zombies SERIOUSLY. And the BBC is reporting it, y'all.
'Science ponders zombie attack'

And basically, people, the news ain't good.

A couple of professors from Carelton University and University of Ottawa decided they wanted to know what would happen if there was a zombie outbreak. Who would win?

The professors say : "We model a zombie attack using biological assumptions based on popular zombie movies.

"We introduce a basic model for zombie infection and illustrate the outcome with numerical solutions."

Which loosely translates to: We smoked a bowl and watched Dawn of the Dead and then we got out our calculators.

God I love horror nerds.

Then they went and published their paper in a book called Infectious Diseases Modelling Research Progress. You can buy the book for 70 bucks on Amazon, or you can just download the pdf "When Zombies Attack! Mathematical Modelling of an Outbreak of a Zombie Infection" here. A warning, though. This sucker is 18 pages and contains all kinds of charts, equations, and other things that look like this:

the number of zombies destroyed through this process per unit time per susceptible is:
(N)(Z=N)S = (alpha)SZ

The ODEs satisfy
S0 + Z0 + R0 = II

and hence
S + Z + R = infinity

Huh, What???
I suggest going right to the summary of the paper:

In summary, a zombie outbreak is likely to lead to the collapse of civilisation, unless it
is dealt with quickly. While aggressive quarantine may contain the epidemic, or a cure may lead to coexistence of humans and zombies, the most effective way to contain the rise of the undead is to hit hard and hit often. As seen in the movies, it is imperative that zombies are dealt with quickly, or else we are all in a great deal of trouble.

Which again, loosely translated means:
Bend over and kiss your ass goodbye.








And in other reasons for me to do the happy dance, AMC is announcing they're about to develop a zombie tv show! The series will be based on The Walking Dead and possibly directed by Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption)

Zombie TV show

Race With the Devil

What do you get when you cross Loretta Swit, motocross, Peter Fonda, a couples' vacation, a cute puppy, and a decked out RV with all the trimmings, including a full stocked bar? Yep, you guessed it - you get SATANISM.
I don't know why the DVD didn't use this great poster as cover art instead of the cheesy collage of photos they slapped on the cover, but whatever. The poster suggests that this is some kind of RV racing action film, but its not. Which is good, because I would A)not spend five bucks on a RV action film, or B)review it on my blog. But lucky for you, I would spend five bucks on a 70's RV Satanism film AND review it on my blog.

The motocross thing is actually pretty incidental - besides it being featured in the beginning of the film and once in a friendly race between Peter Fonda and Warren Oates, it's really not that important. What IS important is Peter Fonda's shag haircut:

Do you think Kristy McNicol stole it from him or vice versa?

Anyway, the two couples set off for vacation in their kick ass RV, complete with all the trimmings:
Dog not included.


They have a friendly motorcycle race and then later that evening notice that there's a big bonfire on the other side of the river. Of course, the fellas need to take a closer look.



They decide that it's just some dancing and chanting, no big deal. No, really, take another look:



Yep, just friendly dancing.



Oh shit!

Finally these morons (seriously, have they never left the house?) figure out that maybe what's going on across the river is BAD and they shouldn't be WITNESSES. When is exactly when Loretta Swit decides to start yelling at the guys to come in - and then the party across the river knows they're being watched. Peter and the gang hurry up and pack it up but not in enough time :

I couldn't get a good screen capture of the satanists jumping on the RV (with capes on!) but the lady who isn't Loretta Swit and her puppy are REALLY, REALLY SCARED:




They head straight to the local law to get some help and end up going back to the site to show them where they saw the sacrifice. At this point in the movie, the plot becomes really transparent and you get a sense of exactly where this movie is going.



don't they look like nice, decent, helpful policemen? Uh-huh.
They find an area that looks like blood, and the cops take a sample, but they're pretty sure it's just from some animal or something - nothing to be all concerned with, people!

Meanwhile, Loretta and not-Loretta find a piece of paper jammed in their broken window with a bunch of weird letters and symbols on it. They have no idea what they could mean so they decide to investigate at the local library.

Turns out that it's runes and witchcraft and spells and evil 'n shit. (They're about as freaking vague -not to mention the completely WRONG definition that runes are used as 'evil spells'- as they can POSSIBLY be with their research)


So they leave town (with a blood sample of their own to have tested somewhere else)
but not before they stop at a gas station so this guy and his cat can fix their window.
(Oh, I'm so not kidding about that part)



and end up at an RV park with the most annoying neighbors ever.



And this is why I don't go to RV parks, people.

Of course, shit goes down at the RV park, and they end up feeling it's not such a friendly place after all. More hi-jinks follow, such as finding that someone has stocked their RV with two pissed off serpents:



I'M FED UP WITH THESE MOTHER F**KING SNAKES ON THIS MOTHER F**KING RV!!!

And the rest of the movie pretty much continues this way, with the Satanists trying to kill them and Peter and the gang really never knowing who to trust. I'll save the 'shocking' ending that the DVD box advertises (although you can really see it coming the whole time).

Bottom line is, if you like RVs, Satanists, and Loretta Swit, this movie is custom made for you. Or - if you enjoyed the cheese fests called 'Devil Dog' or 'Devil Times Five' (starring a very young - and murderous!- Leif Garrett), you will freakin' love this. I had fun, I laughed (where I wasn't supposed to) and I didn't even need a martini to make it go down smoother.
