Now horror blogging at Bloody Good Horror!

I’ve joined the site Bloody Good Horror’s stable of bloggers!  Yay!  My first entry is here. I still plan on reviving this blog soon with other stuff though!

Terminator:Salvation

My ultimate prognosis: “Eh.”  Or perhaps that should be, “Why?”

Of course, we know why – money.  Even with a few great Hollywood movies lately (Star Trek, for example), money as motivation still clouds the handling of some of the better fanchises – including this one.  Sadly, good acting, fair direction, and slick effects couldn’t save this movie – I left feeling like this should have been a TV special, IF THAT, and only in a universe where The Sarah Connor Chronicles hadn’t raised the bar so high.  I recommend Terminator fans spend your money on the DVDs of that sadly canceled show, rather than suffer the disappointment you’ll feel at the end of this movie.  It is a serviceable Sci-Fi action movie, and will please general action/big robot fans, but fans of this specific franchise can spend their money better elsewhere.  See this when it’s on cable.

There may be mild SPOILERS below, so read at your own risk if you care about such things.

It’s taking a bit longer than I thought…

…to get my thoughts on Terminator:Salvation together in a coherent form, which is why the review isn’t up yet.  It will definitely be up tomorrow.  The Drag Me To Hell review should follow Wednesday.  Once I get back in the habit of writing, this won’t take as long.  I’m looking forward to near-daily blogging again.  I have thoughts that cannot be contained in 142 characters!

Will be posting again and redesigning soon

Trying to host and code a WordPress installation is a lot of stress and no fun, so I’m back here for the duration.  Will post about Terminator:Salivation and Drag Me To Hell forthwith!

Things that don’t work.

Well, THAT was a failure.  I talked my website up to tons of people, then ComicPress shat all over my site at 2 AM on launch day.  While I get that sorted, I may post here occasionally, like this.

This is a fucking disgrace.  The *students*, who are *minors*, face charges, while the school and teachers, who they were in the care of, aren’t even questioned?  The goddamn ADULTS in the situation should be punished.  Of course 13-year-olds are going to have sex if left unattended!  Ok, maybe that’s extreme, but punishing the kids seems stupid and will just make them hate hypocritical adults even more – leading them to act out more.

Heh, then I realize the date is 2007.  Damn you, Warren Ellis! (I found the link on his blog.)  I wonder what happened to these kids.
