Ever notice that most horror movies have that eerie child character who stands at the end of the hallway with a blank look on their face. You're not quite sure if they're going slam into you with their bike and throw you over the balcony, or if their head will begin to spin and spew, or if they will run into a red room where horrible ghosts await??

I go to work each day praying that none of THOSE children are one of THESE children.

Happy Halloween!

Don't have much in the way of horror, though I daresay the closest thing I have could stand to be a fair bit prettier.

Ok, so here's one of those funny video download sites. It's called Holy Lemon, and some of the videos are rather funny. I don't visit these sites very often, so I may be linking you to clips you watched one hundred years ago. It's always good to revisit funny memories, anyway, right??

Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Wallace & Gromit
"For Wallace and Gromit, the pest control gig really sucks."


Ten days ago e301 staffer chrsblck made a post regarding the warehouse fire that destroyed the Wallace and Gromit archives in Bristol.

But from the ashes of this tragedy rises a phoenix in the form of Wallace and Gromit's first feature-length film: the Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

Any misconceptions you have about W&G being a shallow production made simply to sell toys, just toss those out the window--there's a good lad. Make no mistake: Wallace and Gromit represent arthouse animation--and the passion of creator Nick Park shines through.

If you like animation, this is a must-see film. Forget all the overdone 3-D animation that corporations have been pushing on the consumer. The advances in stop-motion technology alone make this an incredible film. Gromit, the dog, doesn't speak, but with just slight adjustments of his brow, the animators have given the character more emotion than words could convey.

That said, I wouldn't say W&G shares the same quality of animation as Burton's Corpse Bride, which seems to have a style that's so sharp and crisp. W&G clearly has a more rugged approach, but the quality is still there.

The bunny rabbits steal the show. They're small. They're cute. Their little bunny noses look like pig snouts, but overlook that. You'll love 'em.

The story. Smart, tight, clever, takes advantage of nearly every opportunity given to it. As most W&G fans are aware of, Wallace is an inventor, and uses his creations to spur along independent businesses. In Curse of the Were-Rabbit, man and dog team up as a high-tech garden pest control service. But as the title would suggest, things get a little more complicated than capturing a bunch of long-eared rabbits.

Probably the only bad part of Were-Rabbit was how the story slowed down two or three times throughout the course of the film. I'm not sure if anything could be done to fix that pacing, but I doubt the movie desperately needs it.

I was actually a little surprised by some of the innuendo in W&G, which, along with some of the clearly American references, were probably added to appeal more to the uncultured US citizenry. Despite this, the movie remains clever. That's probably why it was number one in the box office opening weekend.

Curse of the Were-Rabbit is worth your interest and money. If you're looking for a fun, smart film with cute floating bunny rabbits, this is the one to see.
"Hey, baby. How would you like to go black, and then make a difficult decision regarding whether or not to go back?"


Fox is still #1 in the best shows not suitable for family viewing, and that's why we love it. check out these fascists:

Parents' Group Warns Against 4 Fox Shows - Yahoo! News

i have one thing to say:

"Aha ha ha. Oh, gosh that's funny. That's really funny. Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. You are the weakest link goodbye. You know, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Mmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that outside the program before. Because that's what she says on the show right? Isn't it? You are the weakest link goodbye. And yet, you have taken that and used it out of context, to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. Mmm, that's so fresh too. Any titanic jokes you want to throw at me while we're hitting these at the height of their popularity? Hmm? Cause... I'm here. God you're SO funny." -Stewie Griffin
Coheed and Cambria
If I had a staff pick it would be everything Coheed and Cambria. They recently released their third CD From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, Dearest Apollo I'm Burning Star VI and two comic books.

Coheed and Cambria's albums tell one long story with a refreshing mix of dark, slow, fast, and happy songs.

The Story: Coheed Killganon is told that he must kill all of his children or "they" will do it for him because his children will unleash a terrible virus that will destroy the universe when they reach a certain age. Unbeknownst to Coheed and Cambria, (Coheed's wife.) they too possess this terrible Monstar Virus.

Soon after, Coheed goes up to Maria and Matthew’s room, poisons their drinks and gives it to them. The middle child, Josephine walks in with her boyfriend crying, and Coheed is waiting with a hammer behind his back and embraces her, then he finishes her off with a series of knocks to her head side. The only one left was Claudio, his oldest son. Fortunately for Claudio he was a bad boy and broke all the rules, staying out with his girlfriend and ignoring his curfew. As Claudio finally gets home he discovers his house has been invaded, his mother killed, and his father kidnapped….

This is a brief description that only scratches the surface of an extremely complicated plots and my favorite love story ever. If you want to see what all the commotion about you can listen to one of my favorite songs here http://www.coheedandcambria.com

My favorite songs are: A Favor House Atlantic, Welcome Home, The Suffering, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3, The Velorium Camper Parts I-III, Time Consumer, Devil in Jersey City, and Everything Evil.

Why do they deserve a place on this blog you ask? Because they have a song about robots my friend

This may very well be quite old, but I was just introduced to the clip today. I can't seem to stop watching this guy. His name is David Armand (on his passport) also known as Johann Lippowitz. You can find him on Comedy Central on The Hollow Men. Hooray for British comedy.

He's kept me highly entertained, that's for sure.

Today's Special!


Does anyone remember this show?? I grew up watching Jeff, and screaming the magic words "Hocus Pocus Alama Gocus!" at the television screen with my brother and sister. I swear I never looked at mannequins the same after sitting through a season of this show. Thank heavens for Nickelodeon. I wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't watched nonstop in my childhood.

The hills are alive!!!


Julie Andrews is 70 years old today. 70, people.

I first met Julie in Marry Poppins at the young age of five. Oh how I wished a wonderful nanny would fly to my front door using an umbrella and force feed me medicine that turned a different color each time you poured a spoonful. (As a matter of fact, I believe there was a Robitussin incident shortly after my first Marry Poppins viewing.. wince.)

And who here didn't want to dive into a carpet bag searching for a tape measure that would sum up your personality in a matter of inches?? I wanted to jump through chalk pictures and have carousel horses come to life, racing me across green fields with hounds baying at my heels. Tally-ho!!!!

Then a bit later in my childhood I was introduced to The Sound of Music. Once again my creative imagination took over, causing me to spend several days dressed in my mother's living room curtains hanging from trees in our backyard singing about lonely goats!

Now, I wish to take her place as she's standing there in Captain von Trapp's arms.. after a breathtaking dance in the gazebo.

Time seems to age us all. Happy Birthday Marry Poppins! Practically perfect in every way!
