I've got no particular problem with the odd sex scene here and there - it's not as if I'd go into excruciating detail about them.

I think I may have a winner if I can locate "Evil Behind You". It's impressive 1.4 out of 10 rating at IMDB shows promise.

I haven't seen that one, although if I remember correctly that was made during the height of Costner's ego. I'll look into that one.

Which version? There are at least two versions of Snow Queen - one from 2002 and one from 2007.

You've got it backward. October is reserved for horror movies, meaning that I'm going to review only horror movies in October, but I may also review horror movies at other times.

Most folks only find Deliverance interesting for Ned Beatty's scene with the hillbilly. I'll review that right here: Gut wrenching, violent, and it totally justifies everything the protagonists do in the rest of the film.

Heh.

At the time I was in school, most people just used the computer labs. Very few folks had their own PCs.

I always tend to be somewhat skeptical of the numbers they report in things like this. The key, I think, is the "some form" caveat, since "malware" can include anything from a tracking cookie to a trojan that actively looks for financial records, depending on what expert you ask.

Lately I've been getting a lot of pop-ups served from various websites for bogus security programs. You've probably seen them - full-page scare-ware screens with a lot of red text warning you that your computer is under attack and you REALLYNEEDTODOWNLOADOURSUPEREFFECTIVEPROTECTIONPROGRAM NOW!!!! They've become almost as common as Russian comment spam...

My background is Catholic. In my experience, Catholics have attach no particular significance to any concept of end times, and in point of fact I was taught pretty early on that the Book of Revelation was basically not much more than a recasting of the Book of Daniel with Christian overtones (or, less delicately, an attempt to rescue the failed "predictions" of Daniel by relocating them to a later time).

I first started hearing end times talk in relations to the writings of Nostradamus during the early 1980s, when apparently quite a few folks were trying to tie those writings to images in Revelation. I found it strange then and I find the whole concept strange now.

When I have the second round done later in the year, I'll see if I can bring in an official photographer to more effectively document the procedure. I always find visual aids very useful when explaining things like this...

By and large the worst part of the whole process was not being able to clearly know what was going on. With nothing to do but sit there letting my imagination wander, I probably mentally made it worse than it really was.

The swelling and discomfort has abated quite a bit today, which is good, although it's still difficult to eat or drink.

As I mentioned, there's another round of this on the calendar a little later in the year. I'd originally wanted her to do both at once, and I'm glad now that she stood her ground and refused.

Actually, I made a mistake when I said "impressionist". I should have said "expressionist", and several films, notably The Golem and Nosferatu actually fit in the category (in addition to Caligari.)

My bad for posting while sleepy.

I love bad movies. My brothers and I have a long history of watching bad movies, and between the three of us probably have seen some of the worst.

Sometimes it's refreshing to write about things that aren't likely to be polarizing. Just about everyone has watched and heckled a movie at some point, after all.

As we move into the fall, I'm planning to review some of the classic Universal Monster films as well as some of the great German Impressionist horror films from the 1920's, so if you've got any requests that fit into those categories, let me know.
