Back
Where to begin? It's been a bit since I've written anything. Especially a blog. I still hate that term. This is probably just gonna be a bunch of random shit that comes to mind. Because when it comes to random shit, I can do that.
Evil Clowns--People hate clowns. I guess I understand that. The makeup, the clothes, the way they play jokes on people. Most clowns don't talk and that is always a bit off putting. One of the scariest clowns is Pennywise. He was the clown for the book IT. He was played by Tim Curry in the TV movie of it.
When I went to look for a picture of a clown I found a link that was on MTV. It says they are going to try and film IT again. How they would do it as a movie for the theater viewing I would have no idea. It was OK as a miniseries but some say the is too hard to film. I guess we'll have to wait and see. After all, we all float down here, Georgie.
Speaking of remakes, they are going to remake the movie Highlander. Are you fucking serious? Are there not even suck ass movies in the world that you have to go and take a movie that it pretty damn--I don't want to use the word perfect--but pretty damn good? I mean shit--you got good acting, a kickass score by Queen, and a damn fine story. Leave it the fuck alone you nameless faceless losers in Hollywood.
I can think of other movies that could use a decent remake. What are they you ask? Well, off the top of my head how about the movie "Night of the Comet"? Decent flick about two sisters who survive after most of the world's population is gone and others are zombie-like. Another? How about My Science Project? Student finds an alien engine that opens a time portal in his high school. One more? How about the movie Real Genius?
Some remakes are OK. Now I can't really think of any really good ones in the last few years off the top of my head. I'm sure there must be some and maybe I am just too tired and or drunk to think of them.
Haha. Just kidding. I'm not tired.
It does make me wonder though why can't they come up with new ideas. I know there are hundreds if not thousands of people who write books. There are tons of people who write screenplays. There are people who write stageplays.We know Hollywood can steal from comic books so why can't they check other parts of the book store? Is it just that these guys, and women, just want something with a name that could be recognized? Maybe they are remember movies from we they were kids and are thinking if they remember them then so will other movie goers? I don't know. I just know I like to see a movie with a good story and don't really give a shit if twenty years before there was one with the same name. I don't think a movie should be remade unless you can bring something new and different to it. But what the fuck do I know? Nobody pays me for my fucking opinion. So maybe I should just fuck off and let them do what it is they do?
By the way, who are THEY. They are them. They are the ones you can blame. Or quote. Or refer to. They lie, cheat, and steal. They get away with things. They are idiots and geniuses. Fuck them.
Yesterday was St.Patrick's Day. Good for him. The only thing that I can think of that St. Patrick did was remove all the snakes from Ireland. I don't know if that is true or not and I really don't feel like looking it up. But lets assume that is what he did. I would have to assume that there were a lot of snakes in Ireland and that must have not made the people very happy. They probably had to drink a lot of beer and whiskey to get over the sadness. But then St. Paddy came and maybe by using green beer tricked the snakes into leaving? The Irish were so happy that they decided to drink even greater amounts of beer and whiskey to show their gratitude to him. And so we honor him to this day. I have to think St. Paddy must also have done something about the mice and rats because that is what snakes eat and without enough snakes the rat and mice population would go out of control and eat all the crops used to make beer and alcohol. That would be bad.
Really bad.
Really fucking bad.
Anyway.I think if they were gonna salute me by eating and drinking then I would want people to eat pizza and drink milkshakes. Happy Biff day. Pass me a slice. Or 12. And make that shake extra thick. Maybe make it a frozen mudslide. That's basically a milkshake with alcohol. That works nicely.
I think that may be it for me right now. I will be trying to write more because I can tell you, I am a little bit rusty. Ideas don't want to flow. I will force them out though and splatter them all over the walls of my own little part of the world. Any ideas? Laterzzz...
