I feel like I'm spending way too much time lately explaining why I'm not posting.
This weekend found me deep in the middle of something awfully like a catastrophic computer failure, which, I am pleased to say, is now 100% behind me. So tomorrow, I expect to go on a bit of a posting binge to make up for lost time:
-Nasty Matthew McConaughey!
-Animated Goth kids!
-And a Blockbuster History review that is probably not tied to the new release you would assume it would be.
Thanks for your patience in this trying time.

Just a few rules so that everybody can have fun: ad hominem attacks on the blogger are fair; ad hominem attacks on other commenters will be deleted. And I will absolutely not stand for anything that is, in my judgment, demeaning, insulting or hateful to any gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or religion. And though I won't insist on keeping politics out, let's think long and hard before we say anything particularly inflammatory.
Also, sorry about the whole "must be a registered user" thing, but I do deeply hate to get spam, and I refuse to take on the totalitarian mantle of moderating comments, and I am much too lazy to try to migrate over to a better comments system than the one that comes pre-loaded with Blogger.
If we're talking unlikely fake-outs, I'll guess that the new release in question is Sparkle, which can only mean that the unnamed Blockbuster History is The Bodyguard. It's Science, people.
ReplyDeleteRight new release, wrong classic. Think pop singers and things that are shiny.
ReplyDeleteXanadu!
ReplyDeleteOh I CANNOT wait to hear your thoughts on Glitter! Knowing you're gonna shit all over it has me positively beaming with giddiness.
ReplyDeleteAlso very interested in your take on Killer Joe. I've been wanting to see it for around a year but I haven't been able to get a hold of it anywhere in HD quality.
PS - Hopefully my enthusiasm for Glitter will actually physically make that review happen, as it's so much more fun to analyze than Xanadu. Mainly because it's a lot more... well, awful.
ReplyDeleteYeah, after I'd made that guess, it occurred to me that the symmetry of the titles would almost certainly have made "Glitter" the irresistible choice for Tim.
ReplyDeleteYay, Killer Joe review!
ReplyDeleteGlitter is the obvious choice, and he said that the Blockbuster History selection is "probably not tied to the new release you would assume it would be."
ReplyDeleteI don't think this is it, because he hasn't, to my knowledge, reviewed the first two films, but based on that qualification, and the "think pop singers and shiny things", there's the slim-but-hilarious possibility he is alluding to the Beyonce-costarring "Austin Powers in Goldmember".
A more likely possibility, though still probably wrong, is Labyrinth—the pop star being David Bowie, the shiny thing being Jareth's crystal ball, and the more obvious new release tie-in being ParaNorman.
ReplyDeleteComing soon enough, but I will say this: neither Little Shop nor Labyrinth, and at least the former of those is probably on deck for a review before the calendar year is out, if only so I have an excuse for that sexy-looking Blu-Ray that's coming out in October.
