Despite my distaste for Platinum Dunes remakes, this poster for the Friday the 13th remake is flippin’ awesome.

Whenever I write something substantial, I submit them link to Digg, Reddit, and FARK in an effort to increase traffic. While this might seem kind of underhanded, it’s the only way anyone is ever really going to see my work. It is done with the intent of people liking what they see and returning, so [...]

Decided to try a little humor. Written hastily in about twenty minutes.

I’m not going to beat around the bush with this review. The Exorcism of Emily Rose was a shitty fucking movie, replete with every fucking cliché you can think of, and devoid of anything that can remotely be considered suspenseful, [...]

In my vain attempts to proselytize this blog, I have attempted many, many things, none of which I’m particularly proud of. Submitting my articles to Digg, Reddit, and Fark are among the top three, though I have dived down into the belly of the beast and started posting on the Bloody Disgusting and Fangoria forums. [...]

Upon hearing the news that Michael Bay and his production company, Platinum Dunes, are in talks to remake the classic horror film Rosemary’s Baby, I nearly shit myself with anger. I was consumed with even more rage when I heard that Jessica Alba and Lindsay fucking Lohan were names flying around to play the part [...]
