I would have liked to have spent it watching horror films all night long, but instead I was doing stupid work stuff with a client who was forced to relocate out of town.
Anyway, All Hallows Eve is about 10min shy of over for another year. Hope you all had a good night of fright.
Next stop: Thanksgiving!

[Fiction] The giant robot from outer space
was defeated several years ago by an alliance of international armed forces. In the end, after the worldwide destruction and loss of life, the robot’s body was demolished, its six body parts – its head, its torso, its arms and legs - splintered across the planet’s landscape.
Here, in this country, we put the left arm on display in our national museum.
A few days ago, a third grade girl on a class field trip reported to the museum curator that she saw one of its fingers bending.
The curator laughed.
Now, nobody laughs anymore.

Update on the Toys-R-Us Buy 2, Get 1 Free
Toys-R-Us is the enemy, ya'll.
First off, I didn't know I'd have to abandon any hope of picking up a copy of "Bully" there. They were saying, in all manner of unsubstantiated ways, that the game "hasn't been released yet." Now, this being after I've not only seen it available online, but after also having seen it in Circuit City one block away. Which is where I picked it up, thanks to a 10% off coupon from the latest issue of PSM.
Second off, they almost didn't have SHIT that I was looking for. No "Urban Chaos;" no "God Hand;" "Mortal Kombat: Armageddon" wasn't out on the shelves. I managed to find "Justice League Heroes" and "Hitman: Blood Money." They also had some $20 Greatest Hits, but damned if I wanted my free game to be a $20 game that I can pick up later. I happened to see a copy of "MK: Armageddon" in the shelves behind the clerks (when I went up to ask about "Bully," natch), and they said they had "one copy left." Well, presumably, now they have no copies left.
So, almost $120 later, I have four PS2 games ready to dig into this week. I also hear that FIFA 2007 is pretty good, but I think I'll wait 'til that goes Greatest Hits before I try it out.
Halloween Movie Countdown: Week 3
Introduction
Zombie films are the bastard sons of horror movies nowadays. It used to be vampire films, but now we’re in the heart of the zombie renaissance; hopefully, the downswing is not far after. Zombie films are easy to make; there’s very little characterization that has to be done, and the fear inherent in zombie attackers is not found in the suave and debonair menace (i.e. vampires), the beast that lurks within man (i.e. werewolves), or even the hidden dark motives of your everyday man on the street (i.e. serial killers). Nope, all the zombie has to have is teeth and numbers; a filmmaker just has to have an abundance of green paint, Karo syrup (chocolate syrup, if the Karo supply at the corner store dries up), and a horde of friends with a few free hours on the weekend.
Zombies can amble or sprint. Zombies can die from a grievous head wound, or they can live long after they’ve been chopped to bits. They can feast on flesh, or they can specifically dine on brains. They can talk or mumble incoherently. They can be studied as scientific specimens, or they can be targets of the military. They can be our families, or they can be us.
The best zombie films, unquestionably, have the best zombies. And the best zombies stand out in some specific way, and in a lot of ways stand out from the human cast they are paired against. When I was compiling this list over the course of the past week (watching more zombie films than anyone has a right to, mind you), I was originally going to keep it to just the characters that were zombies from their first appearance to their last appearance. Then it occurred to me that sometimes, a human character that becomes a zombie can elevate that film by the carryover of their character traits to their newfound zombie status.
And for a matter of definition: Zombies are the characters who have died and have come back to life, for whatever reason. So you won’t see characters who have been possessed (no "Evil Dead" characters), characters who are more akin to ghosts (it hurt me to have to trim Jack from "American Werewolf In London," as well as The Man from "Carnival Of Souls"), nor any that have been taken over by aliens (only one zombie character from "Night Of The Creeps" shows up). I’m also leaving out voodoo zombies, which, again, rules out some of my favorites from "White Zombie" and "Sugar Hill" (the ‘70s film, not the Wesley Snipes film). Now, I did make a small conceit with one character – the "Zombie Baby" – since he’s the product of two zombies who had sex. And really, how often does one get to write that sentence in a lifetime?
Anyway, here’s my ranking, based on weeklong observations and with apologies to Raven Mack, of the Top 25 Pound-For Pound Zombies In The Motherfucking World:
- Tar Man (Return Of The Living Dead)
The template by which all zombies should be measured. The actor who ushered in this role - Alan Trautman - was a puppeteer, and he came up with the shuffling, ambling gait of the Tarman, as if the bones were just barely hanging on by rapidly deteriorating tissue. Trautman was so thin that the Tarman skeletal structure was able to be applied on his frame, then the makeup applied on top of that. An eerie effect, and when added to that call to arms of "Braaaiiins!" you have cinematic history. - Julie (Return Of The Living Dead 3)
Hot zombie chicks who put sharp objects in their bodies to stifle the pain that being dead creates, and aren't afraid to show off their titties while clad in leather ... yep, you just made #2 on the list. - Underwater Zombie (Zombi)
Oh, so your zombie can break through boarded up doors, survive an onslaught of bullets, and scream "Brains!" until his heart's content? Yeah, well, my zombie ain't afraid to fight a tiger shark, so top that! Of course, seeing as the zombie in question manages to dentally tear a chunk off the shark, given what we know of zombie virus transmission, does that mean that off the coast of Italy swims a zombie shark? - "Send More Paramedics" (Return Of The Living Dead)
This zombie wins the award for "most likely to succeed." Seeing his opportunity to increase the food supply, this fella here commandeers an ambulance CB and bellows yet another great line in a film full of 'em: "Send ... more ... paramedics." And of course, the oblivious EMTs fall right into the trap. The next guy who tries this - "Send more cops" - is just riding on the coattails. - The Conquistadore (Zombi)
Another iconic image of zombie cinema. Check out posters & movie boxes for pics of this guy. - She (Cemetery Man)
Again, the rule here at SGM is "Titties uber alles." (That oughta be a universal truth.) And this is another display of how undeath can't stop the titty bum rush. I think knowing that Rupert Everett's gay somehow diminishes this slightly, but it can't kill my late-night fantasy booking of She vs. Julie (#2) in a graveyard mudpit match. - Bub (Day OF The Dead)
The first zombie to begin to regain self-awareness. Of course, all this means is that he tries to shave himself and picks up a gun and shoots his enemies. But, it's a start, and it paves the way for greater evolution in later zombiedom, which unfortunately culminates with Big Daddy, who we'll talk about later. - Zombie Baby (Dead Alive)
I'd have to rank this much higher than the zombie baby of the "Dawn Of The Dead" remake. I mean, just a headbutt from Dead Alive's undead youngster would be enough to end any match with a much better opponent. - Father Thomas (City Of The Living Dead)
Any zombie that can make his victims vomit up their intestines and liver, well that's a zombie that's alright by me. - Freddy (Return Of The Living Dead)
"I know you're there, 'cause I can smell your braaaiiins ..." - John Ellman (Walking Dead, 1936)
One of Karloff's many turns as a "living dead" (not techically a zombie) character. See also: "The Man They Could Not Hang," "The Man Who Lived Again," "The Man With Nine Lives." "The Walking Dead" comes on TCM on Oct. 27 @ 10:30pm. - Inspector Clay (Plan 9 From Outer Space)
Inspiration for one of the best Halloween masks I've ever seen. - Karen Cooper (Night Of The Living Dead)
This would be the little girl in the basement in "Night," who eventually ends up stabbing her mother to death, then feasting on her mom's intestines. The actress has a website, which is very ... well, self-promotional. Isn't this what MySpace is for? - Mother (Dead Alive)
Which is worse, a chunk of skin detaching from your face, pus spurting into your company's pudding, or your ear falling off your head into your own pudding and you absent-mindedly eating it? - Jesus (Last Temptation Of Christ)
Ahem ... - Michael Jackson (Thriller)
Double ahem ... - Cemetery Zombie(Night Of The Living Dead)
Ah ... the first. The first "Romero" zombie to ever grace the screen. He kills Johnny, chases Barbara, and shows up in the third act to drag Barbara through the window to be devoured. - The Boy Scouts (Cemetery Man)
Kinda puts a whole new spin on that "when he eats his first Brownie" joke, y'know? - Old Woman (Return Of The Living Dead)
Billed as "1/2 Woman Corpse," this is the character that establishes the groundrules for the "post-Romero" zombie. Why they eat brains ("Not people ... brains"), what it's like being dead, the whole nine. - Mercer (Dead Next Door)
Zombie as supercop? Book this jerk against Maniac Cop today! - Psycho Zombie (Night Of The Creeps)
This would be the reanimated corpse of the ax killer from the beginning of "Night Of The Creeps." It's a nice, effective setpiece for Detective Cameron to wrap up a loose end from his life. Pretty well-written for a b-movie. - Orville (Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things)
Yep, that's Orville. He sits there. He's dead. The living make fun of him. They use him for their movie. Yep, it's Orville. He comes back to life. AHHHHH! And, cut! Print! That's a wrap. If you can get this film for $6 and under, don't pass it up. - Big Daddy(Land Of The Dead)
Any zombie that gets top billing, and doesn't bite one fucking human ... is a piece of rotting shit, I don't care how "evolved" he may or may not be. It's criminal that Big Daddy bites not one single victim ... I mean, John Leguizamo, sneering non-actor that he is, is a zombie for 16 seconds and he bites more people than Big Daddy does in the whole movie. Ridiculous. - Yakuza Boss (Versus)
Ah, the Asian zombie. It could be worse, they could hop all over the goddamn place, like the zombies in the mid-90s zombie movies. - The Man(Raw Meat)
"Mind the doors!" Okay, I get it, he's a zombie who's lived in the London tube system for years, and he's only managed to pick up the conductor's instructions as the words he has relearned. But the whole movie's dialogue near the end is "Mind the doors!" "Where is he?" "Mind the doors!" "Oh, God!" "Mind the doors!" It ranks right up there with the Fly's "Help me! Help me!" that probably seemed more menacing & scary in the script, than it ended up being on the screen.

SGM Review -- FIFA 07
FIFA 07 is the latest in the EA Sports line of professional soccer titles. The company released a World Cup game this summer that received absolutely terrible reviews on X-Play, but that game was just limited to international (i.e. Olympic-style) teams. With this one, they return to the type of game that has built a successful franchise.
FIFA 07 is very notable for fixing most, if not all, of the bugs from FIFA 06. Among the differences I noticed right away is a much better player stat screen. In 06, players had an "OVR" rating next to their name. The game manual hinted that players played better in their natural positions (i.e. you wouldn't want to put a striker at center-back), but the OVR number stayed the same. You had no idea how the guy would play in the new slot. Now, the OVR number is divided into two. The first is the players number at that position, and the second is his "maximum" rating, allowing you to make better subs.
Also, there was a terrible bug in 06 during stoppage time where, if you gave the ball a long kick from the goalie, time automatically expired. This was good if you were ahead, but not so much if you were trying for a last second goal. They have fixed this and stoppage time is more aligned with the game clock.
The manager mode is excellent this year. In 06, the "Board Expectations" were very simple... i.e. "Finish in the top half of the standings." Now, they have been diversified. The expectations for my current season include a finishing position, winning the League Cup, signing my star striker to a 3 year contract, and spending less than a certain amount on player signings. The budgeting aspect is also more complex. In 06, you made enough off of tickets that you could load up your coaches (i.e. give players better attributes) more easily. Now, the budget is more in line and it is difficult to even upgrade the team doctor.
They have also fixed the shooting mechanism, giving you a much larger range of shot options (i.e. finesse shots and driven shots). The crossing mechanism is also much better, making offense a lot easier even on the harder difficulties.
All in all, it is a really, really good upgrade. The changes are more dramatic than the evolution from 05 to 06 and, since they dropped the price 10 bucks this year for the PS2 version, it is absolutely worth buying.

IF you could make a horror movie
I was wondering if you could make a horror movie what would it be like? What monsters or psychopath would it involve. Would it have zombies. What would the story be? I mean be creative. Let's be honest it cannot be worse than the stuff coming out lately.
Horror movie remakes-- I got one-- Let's do "Showgirls". The girl is lonely and she is trying to seek some sort of acceptance from others. She starts stripping and wouldn't you know it--she turns out to be a zombie. She feeds upon the customers at the strip club. She targets the fat men because they have more meat. She gets caught and is held in a security cell with no chance of escape and her punishement is to watch anything involving Britney Spears or Paris Hilton 24 hrs a day. She begins to pull out her own eyes and devour them on the spot, but the security guards are too smart and begin to play anything by Justin Timberlake. She then in a fit of rage pulls out her ears and eats them. Then sadly she weaps tears from her zombie eye holse and the movie closes with the Incredible Hulk closing song.
I mean come on that is good stuff, right? Oh you thought the original "Showgirls" wasn't a horror movie? Have you seen the damn thing?
Nate, you Bastard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't resist after the bashing you were taking on Southernfried.
News Story Commentary -- Wesley Snipes
CNN has a very strange report about Wesley Snipes. I have quoted the report in its entirety, with my commentary thrown in where appropriate.
"WASHINGTON (AP) -- Movie actor Wesley Snipes was indicted Tuesday on eight counts of tax fraud accusing him of trying to cheat the government of $12 million in false refund claims.
Snipes, 44, also failed to file tax returns for six years, according to an indictment unsealed in Tampa, Florida.
Federal prosecutors said that Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid."
- The IRS is filled with stupid people. How could anyone in their right mind think that Wesley Snipes had $12 million in income? I know that Demolition Man had that tie-in with Taco Bell and all, but aside from Blade the man has not been in anything that made remotely close to 12 mil. Especially in 1996 and 1997.
"According to the indictment, Snipes had his taxes prepared by accountants with a history of filing false returns to reap payments for their clients. As part of the deal, the indictment alleges, the firm, American Rights Litigators, would receive 20 percent of refunds from clients."
- That is awesome. Accountants who work with Hollywood stars to fake out the IRS. Wesley Snipes must be the dumbest man alive, or he, too, realized that he could never get 12 mil in legit income for being a Denzel Washington wannabe, so he made his money the old fashioned way. He stole it.
"Snipes faces a maximum of 16 years in prison.
Snipes, who had a home in Windermere, Florida, has not been arrested because authorities don't know where he is, the IRS said."
- Neither does anyone who watched Passenger 57.
"In 2002, the Justice Department sued a Florida tax preparer who it said filed bogus tax refund claims, including a $7.3 million demand for Snipes.
Snipes was not named as a defendant in that case, but the lawsuit said the preparer's largest claim was an amended income tax return filed on behalf of the actor and dated April 14, 2001. The return requested a $7,360,755 refund for taxes paid in 1997. The return said that Snipes' adjusted gross income was zero, according to the lawsuit."
- AH HA! Wesley Snipes really didn't have any money becuase he sucks at acting. I told ya so! I told ya so!
"It said the preparer, Douglas P. Rosile Sr., told clients that only income from foreign sources was subject to taxation. The resolution of that lawsuit could not be immediately determined."
- So Wesley Snipes can't act and he is stupid. Film at 11.
"Snipes is the star of the star of the "Blade" trilogy and as well as films such as Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever," and the 1992 blockbuster, "White Men Can't Jump."
- And To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Love Julie Newmar. Don't forget that one. And he played Silk in Miami Vice. Not the movie, but the TV show.
"In 2005, South Africa refused to admit him after officials said he tried to enter the country with a forged passport."
- Further proof that no one, other than a South African customs agent, knows who Wesley Snipes is.

Halloween Movie Countdown: Week 2 (Rating The Fridays)
(So I'm a day late ... wanna fight about it?)
"Friday the 13th" as a film series has been around as long as I've been alive. That feels weird to say. In fact, all of the slasher genre horror films have been. But "Friday the 13th" was the first to make an icon out of its main character. When Jason Voorhees dons that hockey mask in Part 3 ... you know you have a winner. (Granted, Jason was almost upstaged at the last minute by a film called, "Alone In The Dark," in which a main villain attacks a family adorned in said piece of hockey protective equipment; the film was lensed prior to "Friday the 13th Part 3," but hit screens after Part 3 ... who says 13 ain't lucky?)
Anyway, Jason's lumbering ass has been in a total of 11 films to date, slaying bitches and swanging machetes like there ain't no tomorrow (well, except in Part 1, where he basically was lying in the middle of the lake). I started thinking about this canon of films, and the parts I've loved and hated of each one, and I thought, "How does each one rate against the other?" Well, I'm glad I asked.
11) "Jason Takes Manhattan": No, no no no! This is serious "jumping the shark" territory. I can't believe this concept made it out of the meeting; apparently, the '90s were full of self-absorbed fuckers who found the concept of a hockey masked killer too kitschy, so they had to drop him down a few pegs. Stupid stupid concept ... and retconned into even stupider territory when "Freddy Vs. Jason" establishes a very interesting premise of Jason as a hydrophobic.
10) "The New Blood": Ever wondered what a fight between Jason & Jean Grey would be like? Woe-ho ho, then you probably never got laid. And you won't thinking thoughts like that. I don't thing I've even seen this one all the way through ... does he kill the chick in the end? Someone post the answer to that in the comment section, if you would.
9) "A New Beginning": This pissed me off when I first saw it. There was a period in the mid-80s when Marvel & DC would hype heavy duty stories using the major villains like Joker, Mysterio, Two-Face, Green Goblin, etc. Only, in the end, the villain wouldn't be the real person, only a minion or complete stranger compelled to be the villain for the sake of the story in that issue. Wow, hated that then ... hate it now.
8) "Freddy Vs. Jason": I actually like this movie a lot better than its ranking might suggest, but in comparison to the reat of the films, it barely treads water. Freddy is back to pre-"New Nightmare" mode, they try to flesh out some new concepts, but the cast manages to felch out those same concepts. This one loses a few major points solely for that scene where the group of teens pieces together the Jason-Freddy connection. "Oh my God, that must mean that ..." "Freddy is using Jason to scare the kids of Elm Str-" Fuck, insert Lewis Blackesque eye crossing & finger twitching right the fuck here. But, the cornfield rave that turns into "A Jason In The Rye" scene ... boss.
7) Friday The 13th Part 2: Nothing much to say, other than there's tons to love in this sequel - burlap sack head Jason, his mom's severed head in a shrine ... oh yeah, when my mom's head is severed by a camper trying to save her life, you can bet I'm gonna hang onto that.
6) "Jason Goes To Hell/ The Final Friday": I like the idea of Jason's evil being an essence that corrupts a person. It leans hard on "New Beginning" territory, and doesn't ultimately make a whole lot of sense, but it's a pretty interesting & scary premise, plus the scene where Jason impales the chick riding her boyfriend and cleaves her in half is particularly nasty.
5) "Jason Lives": SPOILER alert! The ending of this one, where the hero throws a chain to a rock over Jason's neck and sinks him in the bottom of the lake ... that would have made an ideal ending to the series, 'cause irony sells, baby.
4) "The Final Chapter": I like this one from front to back. I just want to add, though, that it's the first of two films in the series to have "final" in the title.
3) Friday The 13th: Oh hells yeah! The granddaddy of them all! Kevin Bacon! Titties! Pot smoking! Mystery & intrigue! Blood! Archery! Dead bodies reappearing in the final scenes to drive the last victim closer to the villain! O formula, where art thou? Incidentally, did you know that this film has the same body count as "House Of Frankenstein?" Sure does ... so eat that, MPAA!
2) "Jason X": In the words of Eddie Murphy's barber character in "Coming to America," "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, who's next?" That's to anyone that has a disparaging word to say about this film being ranked so high ... and above the first installment, no less. "Oh, what a fucker!" I hear you saying. But I contend that there's nothing in this film that is not just the coolest shit ever. Now, if they can somehow work out a film version of the 2-issue comic series, "Jason vs. Jason X?" That's a license to print money.
1) "Part 3D": This is the one. The first hockey mask ... the ludicrous 3D shit (oh, to have been in the theater when the joint passing scene came up) ... the most creative kills ... the machete ... the ante on the gore table going up. It's all here, and then some. Oh, and I think this is the one with the rap music playing over the end credits. And if it isn't, well hell ... I'll pretend it is and now it's the best fucking film in the universe (if there's no consistency in the "Friday" film canon, there's no reason to have it in my stupid little write-ups on slasher films).
The Closer
Man, the only way to make the "Friday the 13th" franchise even better, at this point, is to merge it with Ice Cube's "Friday" franchise. Seeing Johnny Witherspoon and that old "that place is currrrsssed" dude trading lines, that would make me one happy chappy.

As I take a break from working on class....
I have to say that people who accuse other people of re-writing history, usually don't have a good sense of history in the first place.
I will also say that, if I had wanted to ban someone, I would have changed the password to the maintenance page and you would never be heard from again.

Grand Old...
Pedophiles?
HA HA!
(This political hit and run brought to you by a crappy Internet connection.)
Road Stories....
I won't go into all the details, but for my latest research trip to Kansas (which I am still on), I drove from Gainesville over two days. I had company, so it wasn't totally terrible. The Baymont in in Lookout Valley, Chattanooga, TN has really good continental breakfast, by the way.
So where this is blogworthy happened on the Kansas toll road. As most toll roads, they have little "service areas" in the middle so you can gas up and eat without having to go off and pay the toll to get back on. So last night at around 8:45 central time, we go to the service area and are in line at Taco Bueno. I must say that Taco Bueno's food is about one step up from the K-Mart Grill. If for some reason you happen to be at the Topeka service area, you should drive on by.
So anyway, we are standing there in line and I turn around and up walks two fat, blonde guys with their faces painted like the members of the Insane Clown Posse. They both had black t-shirts with ICP logos on them, and one of them had a black cape on.
My first instinct was to yell "JUGGALAH!" but I opted out of it. So I ordered the food and ICP member 1 gets on his cell phone and starts telling the person on the other line that the ICP no-showed their own concert in Lawrence, KS that night. He went on and cussed out the band and all in front of the 5 people in the Topeka Service Area.
The moral of the story, should you be wondering why I posted this, is that people who dress like ICP are what is wrong with Kansas.
