4:04 pm	" Ready to fire." For thiseviling: Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life and Other Strange Tales Four unique films make up this exciting collection of shorts. The most notable is Peter Capaldi's Oscar-winning "Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life," which tells the Capra-esque story of a writer (Richard E. Grant) struggling with words and the relevance of Christmas. Also included are Richard D'Alessio's "Seven Gates," Lewis Black's "The Deal" and John David Allen's "Mr. McAllister's Cigarette Holder."

8:18 pm	I need a big fucking saw. THAT'S a big fucking saw. Horror Business whistling some dopey punk song. "That's a big fucking head !!!" I rather enjoyed this. And was glad. Ultimately it's bits of interviews with today's up and coming 'micro-budget' horror film creators along with short snippets of their films. What drives them? What influences them? Horror as an art form? etc. etc. etc. Throw in some interviews with more than one or two 'old-timers' with some genuinely good advice to all you aspiring motherfuckers out there. I like doc's. And I love horror movies. So. I really enjoyed this for what it is. Which is how I approach most shit I watch or listen to or whatever. It's not perfect. But it's pretty goddamn good (starts off slow though). And. If you're in the mood for a solid horror doc. And you've already seen American Nightmare. Then. This is well worth checking out. Now. pardon. I hafta make the pee-pees. (Comment on this)
3:37 pm	" Beware the Ideas of March ." this current administration . grim reality . potency responsibility. BUT IT'S A RENTAL !!! BRAIN of BLOOD !!! Another Al Adamson journey into stupid. It's pretty much a PG variation of say like Blood Sucking Freaking Freaks: Mad Scientist rather than a Mad Artist. Brain surgery. Kidnappings. Evil dwarves. Women in bondage. All that shit. All in all it's pretty goddamn stupid. With some funny bloody bits. Here and there. But. I wasn't really expecting all that much. Let us hope that this: Horror Business Filmmaker Christopher P. Garetano probes the minds of some of the horror business's most intriguing personalities in this thought-provoking documentary shot over the course of two years. Highlights include interviews with Mark Borchardt of American Movie, David Gebroe of Zombie Honeymoon, Herschell Gordon Lewis of Blood Feast, Sid Haig of The Devil's Rejects and film critic and author Joe Bob Briggs. I figure it's pretty goddamn hard to screw up the abo ve material described. But. Who knows. I've been surprised before. Swear it! (Comment on this)

3:54 pm	themepark for this even-ing: Brain of Blood: Special Edition Angelo Rossitto, Grant Williams and Vicki Volante star in this campy, over-the-top horror flick that recalls the best of 1950s-era drive-in movies. Inspired by the wildly popular success of the Blood Island series, Brain of Blood follows the tradition of those Philippine favorites with its unforgettable whirlpool of horror. The frightful feast includes a hulking, horrific beast, women trapped in a basement, mad doctors and more. The special edition no less !!! meddling. i loathe meddlers. (Comment on this)
1:00 pm	oh. yeh. I've decided to settle down some and begin reading Pynchon's latest. Tomorrows. All-so !!! There's a " Tales from the Darkside" marathon goin' on over on scifi today. 'till 4. " Ain't it wonderous ?" (Comment on this)
9:04 am	multisonic Sonnet #154 - 2007-03-14 02:21:21-04 CLIV. The little Love-god lying once asleep Laid by his side his heart-inflaming brand, Whilst many nymphs that vow'd chaste life to keep Came tripping by; but in her maiden hand The fairest votary took up that fire Which many legions of true hearts had warm'd; And so the general of hot desire Was sleeping by a virgin hand disarm'd. This brand she quenched in a cool well by, Which from Love's fire took heat perpetual, Growing a bath and healthful remedy For men diseased; but I, my mistress' thrall, Came there for cure, and this by that I prove, Love's fire heats water, water cools not love. And. Last night. We "attempted" to watch Zathura. Okay. Here goes. Youngest child in the family is desperate for attention and feels inadequate because of his older broather not to mention the fact that he can't seem to work his head around his parents divorce. Middle child is athletic and confident and annoyed as hell by his younger brother. Eldest sister is all alterna-out: sleeps to 2, is already dating, hates both her brothers. And, of course, Dad, who is trying to cope with his own divorce as well as trying to pay attention to his annoying needy kids while balancing a career. Wow. Gee. Does this not sound like a goddamn after-school special? But. Wait! Add in some sort of a Jumanji-esque space age board game and you suddenly have a huge budgeted after school special !!! a-weee !!! Nothing new. Just cliche dumped on top of cliche. With really annoying characters that I found myself wanting to strangle every time they spoke. Nothing new at all added to the mix. Like I said. Only made it half-way through. Then turned it off in frustration. If you're looking for smart entertainment intended for 'family' audiences. There's a lot goddamn better out there. That's what I think. Anyway. (Comment on this)

5:51 pm	Richard Widmark. momma left today. leaving behind a stocked to the gills fridge and a rearranged apartment that will prolly take a good earthquake to ultimately comprehend. i'm still fatigued from shit. and have been playing online games rather than interacting with people. much. I have noticed that when i'm high on really powerful pain-killers that I have an extreme low tolerance for other people. just something I noticed. everything else? bleh. It's all so stupid I don't even feel like speaking about it. Here's some of the movies I've watched whilst being away: The Avengers series disk. To best give an idea what this is like. Try to imagine X-Files mixed together with that 60's Batman show. Surreal and goofy. I've been a fan since I was a lil' guy. This particular disk wasn't all that exciting. But. Since it's been years since I've been able to watch an entire uncut episode. I have a feel-ing. It's something I have to ease back into. Like a warm bath. Or something. The Guyver series disk. vol. 3. More bio-armor fun fun fun. : ) i watched some other stuff on TCM and TNT and junk. But my memory sucks the ass of styx when i'm on really powerful pain meds. And. what's more !!! (Comment on this)

4:11 pm	Finished watching Borat. eh. It's very funny. Not a masterwork of comedic genius or anything. Still. I chuckled here and there. It also felt VERY staged. Which annoyed me a bit. And. Yes. I realize that Borat is just a character. All that. But. Some of the situations he was in (not all of them). Well. They felt a bit staged. idunno. Is it just like a given that it was staged? pah. Like wow how convenient of them to already have the camera in the banquet room just before the two naked hairy guys brandishing dildos and screaming in some strange foreign tongue burst onto the scene. idunno. mebbe it's just the dilaudin. or SUNSPOTS !!! !!! !!!

3:46 am	talking through a three year old hee. this's kinda neat. They're showing The Devil's Nightmare on Horror Kung-Fu Theatre. Then again. Their special guest is The Great Smoothini--The Ghetto Houdini. So'm just sayin'. yo. It's all shot live. In West Hollywood. Pretty insane. 'Hankerin' for homicide !!!" (Comment on this)

6:59 am	Wait of the World. Sonnet #152 - 2007-03-09 02:21:19-05 CLII. In loving thee thou know'st I am forsworn, But thou art twice forsworn, to me love swearing, In act thy bed-vow broke and new faith torn, In vowing new hate after new love bearing. But why of two oaths' breach do I accuse thee, When I break twenty? I am perjured most; For all my vows are oaths but to misuse thee And all my honest faith in thee is lost, For I have sworn deep oaths of thy deep kindness, Oaths of thy love, thy truth, thy constancy, And, to enlighten thee, gave eyes to blindness, Or made them swear against the thing they see; For I have sworn thee fair; more perjured I, To swear against the truth so foul a lie!

5:19 pm	" Just so we're clear..." Lady Terminator This cult 80s exploitation film managed to shock even the most cynical of audiences, and it remains today a shameless cinematic feast of sex, gore, and goddesses. An evil Asian spirit with a limitless sexual appetite possesses the body of a young woman and goes on a killing spree; she has returned to fulfill a curse of the family of the one man whom she could not vanquish. Tag line: "first she mates, then she terminates!" How could I resist. I'll prolly hafta watch this while my moms is out shopping or whatever. Guyver: Vol. 3: The Lost Number Commandos GUYVER !!! !!! !!! CAUGHTonTAPE " And it all turns into a shopping spree." by 10:13... (Comment on this)

7:34 am	I remember laughter. The Devil's Nightmare Very saucy and silly early '70s sexploitation/horror. The eurobroads in this are like disturbingly pretty. Yet. Once again. I wouldn't consider this 'sleeze.' Just kinda 'naughty' Euro-goth fun. I swear. Next thing you know they'll be calling Austin Powers an independent film or something. All and all kinda funny. kinda campy. With probably the hottest lesbianic love scenes my eyes have ever scene. hah. get it! scene. SCENE !!! peh. Also. Extra sanguinary horns up for use of an IRON MAIDEN in film. I'ts just not as common as it SHOULD be. But don't get me started. Just don't !!! Also. Fans of City of Lost Children will recognize a very young (yet already bald and creepy looking) Daniel Emilfork playing SATAN himself. What a little charmer he was. Back in the day. And. In a unique sort of way. The film's over silliness (which I believe was utterly recognized by the cast and crew DURING the film-making). Actually work's to the movie's advantage. There's a couple moments where I was just like: "woooo. That was creepy." Worth checking out if you're a fan of this type of euro-goth horror. If. for anything. The BOOBS alone. Think of the BoOBS, man !!! THINK OF 'EM !!! Sonnet #151 - 2007-03-07 02:20:20-05 CLI. Love is too young to know what conscience is; Yet who knows not conscience is born of love? Then, gentle cheater, urge not my amiss, Lest guilty of my faults thy sweet self prove: For, thou betraying me, I do betray My nobler part to my gross body's treason; My soul doth tell my body that he may Triumph in love; flesh stays no father reason; But, rising at thy name, doth point out thee As his triumphant prize. Proud of this pride, He is contented thy poor drudge to be, To stand in thy affairs, fall by thy side. No want of conscience hold it that I call Her 'love' for whose dear love I rise and fall. sky full of storm clouds. power outages. yah. mommy is due. Might not be posting as often. Can't have her getting wise to the foot. Because then the foot would have to be all restrained. What. With all this ass-eating boob loving philosophical crap. She might take it all the wrong way !!! She might! (Comment on this)

8:16 pm	One False Move Dilauded. d-lovely-d. Don't get all jealous or nothing. We are still in that Mega-crush point in such impossible relationsips [considering that one of us is an inanimate object and the other is utterly spawned by something elses deranged imagination.] " I don't like guys who play games..." ::punch:: "Tell your Boss when he wakes up ." Went to the moon, did ya? Just for MEEEEEEEE !!! I've got a crush on you............ Pretty baby. (Comment on this)
7:32 pm	Mama's dropping in sometime tomorrow morning and mebbe stay for a week or so. Must. Hide. Porn. Must. Hide. Porn. all other priorities rescinded. Must. Hide. Porn. (Comment on this)
11:38 am	Hand of Glory The Great McGinty A mostly comic tale of how the telling of a scoundrel's life story somehow alters the life of a decent man's troubled times. If 1 is aware of the fact that Aleister Crowley was once Sturges' mommy's boyfriends. In fact, she is the inspiration for the female protagonist of his Moonchild. Then this movie becomes even more than a wee bit sweeter. 'sides. Any movie with a character named "Mayor Tillinghast" is okay by me. Stage Fright Not Hitchcock's best. But certainly not his worst. Either. A suspense-comedy-noir (with Deitrich turning the noir up to 11 every time she appears on screen.). Not super great. But good fun. Nonetheless. Current Mood: distended (Comment on this)

12:38 pm	I did stay at the Wiltshire Hotel, though. Damn the torpedos boys. Baker! Baker! Suck my balls. k00ky Plus. There was like movies waiting for me. On Arrival. Devil's Nightmare When a group of tourists (each of whom is associated with one of the seven deadly sins) gets stranded in the Italian countryside, a stranger offers them shelter for the night in his castle. But his family is cursed: The eldest daughter in each generation is destined to become a handmaiden of Satan. The horror begins when the current eldest daughter (Erika Blanc) turns up and begins exploiting the guests' weaknesses to make them damn themselves. yeh. whatever. tell me something good. The Great McGinty Preston Sturges made his directorial debut and won a Best Screenplay Oscar for this hit political satire. Corrupt politicians recruit bum Dan McGinty (Brian Donlevy) to vote under assumed names to help their candidates win. He's so good that the Boss (Akim Tamiroff) decides he'd make an ideal puppet mayor and arranges a political marriage for him. But with his new wife (Muriel Angelus), McGinty gains a conscience, causing problems for the Boss. Preston Sturges. yo. Stage Fright Alfred Hitchcock takes Selwyn Jepson's novel, preserves all the thrills from the page and adds a dash of his own. Eve Gil (Jane Wyman), a drama student studying in London, learns that a friend, John Cooper (Richard Todd), has been implicated in the death of the husband of his lover, actress Charlotte Inwood (Marlene Dietrich). John has a plan to prove himself innocent, but needs Eve's help, not to mention her talent. Can they pull it off? Well. Can they !?!?!? (Comment on this)

5:56 am	I summon you here, my love. Sonnet #147 - 2007-02-26 02:21:55-05 CXLVII. My love is as a fever, longing still For that which longer nurseth the disease, Feeding on that which doth preserve the ill, The uncertain sickly appetite to please. My reason, the physician to my love, Angry that his prescriptions are not kept, Hath left me, and I desperate now approve Desire is death, which physic did except. Past cure I am, now reason is past care, And frantic-mad with evermore unrest; My thoughts and my discourse as madmen's are, At random from the truth vainly express'd; For I have sworn thee fair and thought thee bright, Who art as black as hell, as dark as night. " I've got the weight of the world… I summmon you here, my love.…" uh-huh (Comment on this)

5:15 pm	The machine it sparks. Her eggshell mind. Guyver: Vol. 2: Procreation of the Wicked You have to watch out for those Anti-Guyver Hyper Bio-Zoanoids I tell ya! you have to! The Best of Mr. Peabody & Sherman: Vol. 1 Worth a chuckle or two. Fun with nostalgia and the reefer. It's kind of funny how these episodes would probably be considered racist by today's standards. The Place Promised in Our Early Days Done by the same guy who did Voices from a Distant Star. If you liked that. You'll like this. Great art. Mushy-mush story. Less action than STAR. But more characters that actually have some sort of vague importance to the whole undertaking. There are parallel worlds. In her sleeping mind. (Comment on this)
