ANOTHER REMAKE
Well for me this is a CLASSIC film that I remember first seeing as a child. back when they still showed good classic movies (such as Flash) that now have cult followings.. for others on here hell you are probably going to think "I remember when that came out in Theaters!"
Barbarella will soon join the world REMAKES!!! I guess Robert Rodriguez is going to do a remake of this classic film. I think he has the wits to keep with the style of the original film but who knows really with him. Should be interesting too see how it all works out though. Of course he will be having the LOVELY Rose McGowan playing Barbarella.

GRINDHOUSE is the bomb!
I just came back from watching that double feature, GRINDHOUSE. I was so into it, I couldn't get up to pee. I was so transfixed, watching these movies was like falling in love. Hot bodes, guns, cars, lots of gore, zombies, retro trailers by Rob Zombie, a total mix of so many things I like cinematically, all I was missing was a guy with a big cock! If I had a boyfriend who took me out to see this double feature, he would've totally gotten his dick sucked all night long by me. OR, better yet, during the show! Watching movies like these really makes me yearn for a relationship again. To just have that kind of company. A man to be my cinema slave... ahhhhhh....!
Totally inspired. Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have, once again, made me lust after them!
I also came into the movie theatre with a migraine -- didn't even stop to eat once the flick came on. Seriously. I enjoyed myself so much, I'm nearly healed now. Gonna go home and be inspired. Finally get the comic book finished, eat something sweet, and relax, relax, relax... into dreams!
Dude, I'll Totally Watch "Leprechaun In The Hood" Again
Alright, now that I'm back and have a free moment or 5, I can now indulge you all on my vacation happenings and shenanigans. Overall, I did less than I had hoped for various reasons but seriously, any time off work is something to behold.
After a weekend of homework, clothes shopping and watching Apocalypse Now with my dad and brother-in-law, it was a week of freezing sort-of bliss. Monday was the White Sox home opener so I brought my dad along for what turned out to be a brutal drubbing of epic proportions. Sox starter Jose Contreras managed to allow 9 runs in 1 + innings. It was a beautiful day wasted but I took something away from it all — the Cleveland Indians are one hell of a good team. They have been on the rise for the past 3 seasons but I think they are now very close to being the team to beat. Maybe the lull will slow them down a tad.
Tuesday was another rip roaring affair with the therapist. Actually, I have to say that I look forward to going these days. Aside from the obvious help since the debacle a while back, she's nice to look at. I also made a trip to snag the new Shadows Fall album. Overall, it's decent enough, sounding very much like The War Within. It's not exactly "Album Of The Year" material, but it's a good listen. There is one song that teeters on the edge of being unforgiveable though. I can't remember the name of it off hand but I think it's their attempt at having their own "One" or "The Unforgiven". If it gets enough airplay, it's destined for radio stardom. So, be on the lookout for some broad in a sports bar wearing a Shadows Fall girlie T with high heels and a cowboy hat because it might be around the corner.
Thursday brought on another trip to the White Sox game with Grampire. I wore a t-shirt, long sleeve shirt, sweatshirt, insulated hoodie and a White Sox hockey jersey with a snowhat and STILL froze my ass off the entire game. Once the shade kicked in, I might as well have watched the game inside of an igloo. Thankfully, the Sox squeaked out a cheap win in 9 innings because hypothermia was tapping on my shoulder by that time.
Friday morning, I woke up early and decided that I wanted some pancakes so I went to the local house of said food delicacy. When I sat down, I asked if I could get a copy of the Sun Times. After flipping through sports and what not, I ran across a review of Grindhouse and remembered that it came out that day. Being though my vacation flew by WAY too fast, I decided I needed to end it on a high note. Once again, I employed Grampire to join me, which he was all too eager to do. Captain Murray called in plenty of time to meet us at the theater for what would be the movie event of 2007.
I've been pretty excited to see Grindhouse since seeing the first trailer back in November. I can tell you that it exceeded my expectations. Both movies were amazing. Every faux trailer was excellent, a few of them bordering on absolute genius. OK, actually, Eli Roth's trailer for Thanksgiving was the funniest thing I may have ever seen. His movies have been hit or miss thus far (Cabin Fever = good, Hostel = worst movie ever) but I swear to God, if he made Thanksgiving into a real movie, we are talking Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Exorcist classic movie here. Seeing a cheerleader on a trampoline take a kitchen knife in the box........soooooooo amazing. I had fucking tears rolling down my face.
As for the movies themselves, both were highly entertaining. Robert Rodriguez went first with Planet Terror. For a Rodriguez movie, it was somewhat lacking in witty banter but it more than compensated with truckloads and truckloads of gore, gore and more gore. Basically, a virus brought back to America from Afghanistan gets loose and infects the population of a military base, turning them into flesh-eating zombies. Naturally, the zombies spread and start eating anyone in sight. The survivors band together and go on a mega-violent ass-kicking rampage. Truthfully, there isn't much more to the plot than that. It's pretty low on the narrative and high on the action and violence.
After a short "intermisson" came Death Proof. Despite the obvious slant towards 70's exploitation cinema, this was clearly a Quentin Tarantino movie through and through. Unlike Planet Terror, Death Proof was filled with a plethora of dialogue and pop culture references. The violence factor was toned down by comparison and it moved at a slower pace but again, the conversations were all well written. Death Proof was admittedly slow but it ended with a huge bang, featuring the absolute best car chase scene....well....ever. Better than Bullitt. Better than The French Connection. Better than all of them. Once again, Grindhouse is movie of the year.
So yeah, that basically was my vacation. Not too bad but the weather didn't help much.
On a completely unrelated note, I checked out Hell Yeah, the new band featuring Vinnie Paul from Pantera. Easily the worst thing I've heard in a long time. Completely boring rock/metal with no hooks, no interesting riffs, no nothing. Anyone who likes this tripe is clearly grabbing at straws. I almost wanted to hear Velvet Revolver after hearing Hell Yeah. Music has progressed and left this band so far behind. If they get big, I give up.

They F**ked With The Wrong Mexican
Dude.....Grindhouse. Best movie of 2007. Nothing else will come close. Just quit now.
The "trailers" for "Machete" and "Thanksgiving" had me in tears crying. "Planet Terror" has it all....zombies, tons of gore, unholy violence and drop dead gorgeous women brandishing heavy artillery. "Death Proof" has Kurt Russell, hot women and the best chase scene ever committed to film. If you can find a better movie in 2007, you are blind or have terrible taste in everything.
Oh yeah, Rose McGowan is hottest woman on planet Earth. I'm in love........sigh.
