Remakes

There is an absurd amount of remakes in the works for this coming within the next few years

My Bloody Valentine (already out and already seen it)
Childs Play
Halloween 2
Friday the 13th
The Last House on the Left
The Stepfater


I'm am hoping that these movies do not get butchered if you catch my drift. Why is there a need to remake Childs Play? The best part about that movie is that it is so 80's, in every single way, even right down to the midgets they used to play Chucky. The Stepfather is a movie that no one really nows about but I remember renting years ago. That may be interesting and I will see it because it has my favorite tv plastic surgeon in it, none other that Dr. Sean McNamara as well as my favorite badass SVU detective, Elliot Stabler.

The Last House On the Left is a movie I just recently saw and it was a total 70's cliche of a horror movie and even included some scenes that looked like they were stolen from the Duke of Hazard. That was a movie that you kind of had to force yourself to watch though. I remember my mother saying that she was scared of that movie because she had seen it when she was younger. I thought it was a movie about a haunted house at the end of the street but it is a movie about kidnapping, rape, and drugs. Which makes sense of why it scared my mother because my parents raised me to be leery of strangers because they could or probably will kidnap and rape you. The remake seems like it steers away from the original formula and tries to go for the dark and gloomy "Texas Chainsaw" type effect because every douche from every Urban Chic store will see a movie with that kind of shadowy lighting. However, I will probably see it.... at a matinee. Plus the original cast of degenerates in the original are much much much more convincing than the new group. At least the old cast seemed like they were insane unlike the new group who seem too high and lazy to do or kill anyone.

Friday the 13th is the same thing to me. The current trailers look to similar to a Texas Chainsaw trailer. I don't know why I think every horror remake has that "look" to it but yeah I do so whatever (I think it has to do with the creepy little old lady charactor). I wasn't really a total fan of the Friday the 13th movies, however, they are def worth watching because they are so damn campy. I'm not sure how I feel about the remake because it seems they tried to make it a "serious" horror movie. I will most likely see this only because I sure as shit won't be going to see Confessions of a Shopaholic on the 13th and Gomorrah isn't going to be playing anywhere so what else am I supposed to watch?!?


As far as Halloween 2 or H2 as Mr. Zombie is calling it, I'm sure his wife Sherri Moon Pie or whatever the fuck her name is will be playing EVERY charactor in this flick. I don't know how I fell about this either. Lukewarm boarding on the cold side. Looking at the current cast...... Not the best casting I have ever seen, it certainly wasn't casted by the genius that worked on Dexter which is beautifully casted. Blah Blah Blah... It will only be playing for a month anyway and they it will be replaced by something else, probably a movie with a real director in the credits? Just saying... It may be matinee worthy...

A little Carrie Heffernan....

blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

The 90's at Its Finest

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS MOVIE. I wish I could watch this RIGHT now. I remember back in the day when we would go to Blockbuster to rent some vids and I would always go to 2 movies; Childs Play 2 and Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter is Dead. There is nothing bad to say about these 2. I love the fashion show at the end. Christina Applegate was my hero.

I wish I was a freak

I wish I would find this on dvd. I really want to see this movie. I have seen a bunch of clips on youtube but nothing would compare to watching this, curled up on the couch, eating chinese. Sigh.

disgust

So, I work at a vets office and I know people love their animals but one thing I will never understand is why people keep getting animals when they already complain about the cost of petcare for their current animal. I mean, what causes a person to wake up one morning and think to themselves "You know, I think I will get a new dog today. Fidos UTI can wait to be seen by the vet. I'm sure the he can live with the sensation of fire when he pisses. Yeah, I will get a new dog." It makes me sick. For example, last weekend this tiny ass little old lady who I guess is notorious for complaining about the cost of vet visits, even though her dog had wicked skin issues. Anyhoo, she hadn't been in to see the vet for like 2 years and now she calls because she has to put the dog down. Well, the dog already looked dead. It was so sad because she could have treated but she couldn't financially. I understand times are tough and she is like 105 years old so it is probably the best thing to put the dog down and out of its suffering. Not even a week later she came in asking if Brussels Griffons are good dogs?! What the fuck? I mean really?? She told me she was looking around at the pounds because she will be getting another dog. What? I am still confused by this. People do not make sense. Especially old people because they figure that they can get away with whatever the want. All I have to say is old people should not have animals. If they need the company so fucking much, check into an old persons home and get over it.


I will go broke buying shit for my dogs. They are are off the chain.

yuppies

I am over slumdog. blah blah, I eat curry everything and lie on game shows, waaah waaaah. This is a totally movie for yups. They can curl up with a huge bottle of merlot and watch slumdog because there is so much culture in it . I think that the reason I am personally against watching this is because I do not want to associate with people like that. I am all down for artsy fartsy by that movie is beyond me. I am sorry India, I am all down for an Indian buffet for lunch but I do not want to watch the scrawny people of your country cry and bitch on screen.

Guilty Pleasures...

to want to see these. If I had more money and someone who actually wanted to go with me, I probably would see them. I should be embarrassed to admit I want to see these but whatever. I am a person who grew up loving Are You Afraid of the Dark and Tales from the Crypt, Alex Mac, Clarissa so I think it is ok. waaaaaaaaaaah.

The Uninvited
Coraline
He's Just Not That Into You
I Love You, Man

Monsters vs. Aliens

Obsessed

I cannot wait to watch you ...

whenever i am down

i peanut butter jelly time.



sexy. she just lost like 10 pounds. i wish i could be so lucky.


*isn't is annoying when you go to the gym and there are the chicks there are are running around in little bras with their huge hoop earrings in? I will walk in thinking "ugh i managed to drag myself here now i get to look even crappier because i don't have my full nighttime makeup on. craaaaaaap." but then i redeem myself because i know those other bitches suck, and the dudes they are trying to look hott for are complete tools, worthy of tool academy (on VH1) whatever, as long as i have me some womanizer playing, i'm good.

Pookiedip

So, one day I randomly decided to start a blog. I felt that I had a world of knowledge of awesome things that I felt I had to share with the whole world, or anyone who would read. There are so many people that are lame or seem lame and boring. You know, the kind of people who are only interesting in a "What school are you going to? what are you studing? Omg I like everyone and I like to cook and have nothing funny to say." kind of way. Well anyhoo, I was randomly looking at blogger profiles and every seemed sooooo boring. Ugh, it was horrible. There were tools who had posted stupid shit and the tortured souls with blue and pink hair that posted about how horrible their lived were and how music is everything blah blah (insert dumb hot topic girl here) Then like a ray of sunshine among the lameness, Pookiedip. I just want to say, thank you shedding light on the northface/ugg invasion that plagues CT. You remind me of myself except I am sure you are less retarded and gross than I.

PS, yes being a crackwhore is an occupation. A profitable one at that.

I wish I could afford Showtime

I need me some more dexter. Like a crackhead needs crack. There was a point in time where we would watch multiple episodes a night. It is so addicting and anyone who has not seen it needs to. It was so bad that once I had finished watching the second season, I was looking up episodes online. I was searching every corner of the damn internet desperate to watch it. Sigh. I cannot wait until August when the 3rd season comes out. I will be locked in my condo, glued to the tv until I finish watching it.

randomness

I would bang him if I were a little black 6 yr old. This kid has some tight moves.

Irréversible

If you are able to follow confusing movies and are ok with watching scenes that are really uncomfortable to watch, Irréversible is your movie. Its french, its subtitled, it plays backwards. There are a lot of disturbing things I have seen in movies but this movie takes it to a new level. Its really rather strange but you watch it the whole way through because you have to know how these people got into this mess. I will probably have messed up dreams tonight, thank you Irréversible.

Why "The Happening" happened to suck

So in randomly watching the Lifetime Movie Network, there is a movie starring Tracy Gold (from Growing Pains) called the Face of Evil where she kills an art student and steals her identity .... Sounds a lot like the plot to Taking Lives... a movie with a similar plot... or Mrs. Winterbourne... but I guess it doesn't matter because no one has seen these movies because they suck but of course I know of them. See in watching these silly movies, I know who was in what and when.


Also, I discovered that M. Night Shamalamalahmamalan stole the plot for the Sixth Sense from and episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark (episode called The Tale of the Dream Girl) That smelly asshole flat out stole the plot twist but I guess since he said it was "inspiration" behind the movie it was ok. Maybe thats why The Sixth Sense is the only good movie he has to his credit. I guess since he didn't steal plots for his other movies from Are You Afraid of the Dark is the reason all the other movies are terrible.

The Wrestler

Last night we went to see The Wrestler starring Mickey Rourke. Not knowing much about Mickey Rourke, other than he used to be a pretty boy who sacrificed his beautiful face to become a boxer and that he was the huge dude in Sin City, I was leery as to whether I would enjoy the movie. I knew that it was the hot shit on the award circuit and that it had to be good but my vote was to see Revoluntionary Road. Needless to say, I loved it. Mickey Rourke was amazing in it. I think all the shitty movies he has made in the past and the way he fucked his face up boxing all lead up to him being amazing as Randy the Ram. There is so much for a guy to like in this movie. We all know that every dude watched wrestling as a kid and that they all love strippers as adults, so it makes perfect sense that this movie would do well, at least with people who have good taste in movies. I think that chicks will dig it because the charactors were so well cast and it was executed so well that in our sick female minds, we read it like a lifetime movie. Sad lonely, washed up wrestler tries to befriend a single, stripper mom all while trying to reclaim his past fame, only to suffer a debilitating heart attack which doesn't even save the tattered relationship with the daughter he abandoned as a child all the while he has horrible, god awful extentsions!! Oh, my heart strings were pulled, no, yanked to the point where you don't care that he is a fuck up, you just feel bad for him. All and all, it was so worth the $10.00 ticket.
