But probably not for long...
So I read about the 2nd Human Centipede movie... this is getting ridiculous. I'm laughing at how bad it sounds.
Also trying to work on some things but 'work' doesn't help.
Also the guess...
Anyway. Got some plans and some ideas. Trying to write but it's hard with time.

New things
So I'm in a new situation that is really binding my time.
I want to get to work on multiple things... but can never find the time to do so.
Going to be even more busy with things. But I do have my final plans in the way.
Got to keep pushing forward...

DW
For those that don't know, there is another 'me' that is within me. He is my creation and my curse. His laugh is like madness and his eye's blaze red...
He doesn't really have a name. But he has been called many things.
Glitch, Necro, Spri, Nul...
Later it was Surive and even Dead Man.
But he is a part of me. And finally came to the name DW.
Soon I will try to finish his look. But I have got his sound and talking pat down.
(On a side note - He isn't real. Just a character I have made up.)
(Yeah I am, he's just trying to cover his ass.)
(Wait... what? How did you write that?)
(I can do whatever I want. I am the real you.)
(No you're not! I am me.)
(Can you prove it?)
(Your taste in movies is proof.)
(What's wrong with my movies?)
(They are emotionally scarring and weird as hell, not to mention have no real reason in being except to make people hate themselves because they are cruel and... )
(People need those movies to be stronger. They need to see the worse so they can take on there own problems with power and experience. They need to be beaten down, so they can stand back up again.)
(Well I have already seen the worse one. Nothing you can do can make me be beaten down.)
Oh dear Will... you haven't even seen the worse disturbing movies.

What I feel like doing...
Writing and creating.
I've watched some new movies... but I feel like working on my own story.
And not the side story or the detective story or the vampire story or zombie story...
But just my Shadow Kings story.
(Damn, I have so many different stories...)
I've finished the total outline a long while ago... but it's hard to fill in the little detail.
So (maybe) I wanted to try and fill out some on here.
But what?... hmm...

Hitchcock - A Disappointed Review
Sorry for the long delay... ALOT of things have gone down. Including getting my back fixed, being forced on a diet, talking with my first ex-girlfriend, Matt leaving for a couple of months to get a big paycheck... and ALOT of work. I've also entered into an art contest and got a honorable mention.
But among all this, I've been watching movies.
Some good, some bad, and some classic.
Before I go into the main review, let me say a quick word about -
Troll Hunter
When I first saw this trailer, I thought it to be just a weird version of The Blair Witch Project... but actually it was pretty good. I really enjoyed it in a badass kinda way. I probably would have enjoyed it better without the dub though...
Sherlock
The modern version of Sherlock Holmes is good. Real good. Maybe some people were disappointed in Moriarty... but it is a little problem and still enjoyed the whole thing. Definitely recommend.
I also recommend Sharpe's movies and Blackadder.... but more on those later.
And now... for Hitchcock.
For many years I have heard many thing about Hitchcock. About his direction and story play is legendary and his movies are inspiring...
Years ago...
Now, they have not aged well. Much to my disappointment. I have not seen all of them, but I have seen the four big ones in his list. And besides one... the other three have made me just... disappointed.
Which 3 disappointed me? Let's start with...
The Birds
This definitely didn't age well. The story makes barely no sense besides birds attack... for no apparent reason than they can. The love story is weak and out of no where. I can see trailers for today making that the main focus and then putting the attacking birds as a surprise... but it's still stale and slow. Good effects though on some parts... but it's obvious now which ones are fake and the noise that they make... my god that is some horrible scratching of my eardrums... which works but still...
It wasn't cliche... so it has that.
Vertigo
Another slow one... and the title has very little in the plot. It's mostly a mystery romance tragedy. Just... argh! Seemed mostly slow, boring and kinda sad (in a pathetic way). I can see why it has a following... but really, I couldn't stand it.
And... this may surprise some -
Psycho
This... was seriously a huge disappointment. And I don't mean from the twist or the killer or any of the stuff known about it... just that the story is horrible. And slow...
This is when I realized it didn't age well. Even seeing the new version (which is a shot for shot remake) made me see how slow and boring it was. The killer part (no spoiling for the new ones) is really fun and made me jump once at how quick and simple it was... but the rest... like the cleaning up, the money plot, and the intro... just made me shake my head.
I remember as a kid seeing at Universal Studios a special on Hitchcock. It was fun and very cool to watch... but that was many years ago and just... disappointed in how little it made me feel. Granted Psycho did have it's moments... but nothing that I didn't need to make it a great movie.

Dealing with the loss of energy.
Blah... this weight loss thing has seriously drained me of everything. SO hungry but trying to hold back... argh.
Wednesday, August 17, 2011
Update from the last month-
ARGH!!!! Been slacking in my writing blog. So many thing going on that I couldn't get the time to write on here... So where should I start?
Having my leg checked out. Been given a special diet and detox drink... I hate the drink (3 tbs of pure apple cider vinegar)...yuck. Supposedly it helps me loose weight, but I have yet to see the results as yet (only my third day of trying it) .
Been DVD hunting and got some good deals on a few things.
Even got the COMPLETE TOXIC AVENGER!!!! With all movies and cartoon episodes.
(You know, for kids!)
Got some trouble with art prints... twice have they messed up on a canvas print. :/
And been addicted to another Disturbing Show called Psychoville. It's really funny in a dark twisted way.
Bought a broken slot machine that is fixable and plan to have it for fun (and burn off my gambling itch).
And...
That's about it besides work.
Got some writing ideas and trying to find time to write more of the ones I have. Also trying to build a diagram of my story place... basically making a model.
And with that... that's all for now.
I got another review soon, but it's finding the time to write which will be hard.

The Thing
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no....NOOOOO!!!
They remade the THING!?!?!?!
WHY?!
I know it has been 30 years, but there is no reason for it to be remade. It's still one of the creepiest scariest movies ever made and I still drop my jaw at this scene.
I mean, I understand Spiderman, and even some other ones... but this didn't feel like it should have been remade. I mean, come on! How can this be?!
By the way, if you haven't guessed, The Thing is on the Disturbed List... but I will have to wait and see how the new one goes. I won't be holding my breath though...
Just...ARGH!

My leg hurts...
Ordered some prints on canvas of my photography. The first batch came out really well and the next ones should be here at the beginning of next month. Then I can stretch and place on the frames I have for them. Going to enter a "red" contest with my rose and see If I can get some interest like I did with the painting from the last contest.
Been on eBay alot lately... trying to get some things for fun... like a slot machine and some dice.
Also a light book that I want to try and build - http://grathio.com/2011/06/
Other than that... been having a busy mind. Still writing story and trying to sleep.

Busy times and searching for somethings
Busy with work and art projects.
Been working on coin stuff, looking at some collectibles, and trying to find energy to write some more.
But I'm missing some people... and they are constantly on my mind.
Hope she is alright.

Slave Before Royalty – A Scare Prequel Outline
Hey! Decided to write out the plot that I have finally gotten an idea on how to finish...
That made no sense when reading that, but I'll go ahead with it.
Here we go.
Slave Before Royalty
Part 1- In Line of the Throne
It starts with a girl named Corona walking out with other slaves into a Colosseum battlefield in front of a large crowd watching. As they go towards the middle, she tries to remember what is going on, why they are there, and what is about to happen. An announcer yells out to begin, and the gates on the side open to reveal large armored warriors with weapons, who start to walk towards the slaves.
Corona panics as the rest of the slaves try to run and most get slaughtered by the warriors. However, through quick thinking and noticing something strange about how they move, she is able to get one of the warriors to run at her and crash into the wall. She steals the warrior's knife and confirms that the warriors are all blind. She tries to defend herself but is quickly overpowered by one large warrior who will finish her off...
The warrior drops his weapon and falls to his knees. Corona sees a man walking along on the shadow of the warrior in a calm manner. The warrior screams to be released and gets kicked in the face by the shadow walker, who steps off of the shadow and kicks the body into another warrior.
Corona takes a look at her rescuer and sees that he has only one eye (his left eye is normal, his right is closed and hallow), short hair, metal boot tips, and no shadow of his own. He smiles and she sees smoke escaping from his mouth. He continues to fight, using only his legs and stepping on shadows to trip up opponents. However, after only a few seconds he breathes out smoke with a cough and tries to keep fighting, but he shakes and loses the strength that he had while he held on the smoke.
Corona steps in to help and they team up to take out who they can. But the one who got kicked in the beginning of the match wakes up and knocks Corona in the side. She falls with her weapon in hand and watches as the man who helped her collapses to his knees in exhaustion and coughing fits. The warrior picks up his ax and swings at the smiling shadow walker right at his neck.
Corona wakes up in an old prison like cell with the knife she took and wondering what had just happened. Only to be scared out of her skin by the shadow walker in a cell in front of her saying that he was glad she was his new neighbor. She asks the usual questions- Who he was, where is she, what the hell was going on, how they both survived, etc...
He tells her that she is at the Wrath Stadium, home of the Warriors who are blind from the bloodlust. Everyday they go out, fight, and slaughter each other to a crowd of onlookers who make bets of all sorts over who will live and how many will be taken out.
The trick, he points out, is that no one really dies in this place. As badly or close to death as they kill each other, they can be healed instantly by a plant call "Angel Leaf" that grows underneath the Stadium. They gain and switch out slaves (who are used as a default betting and begging warm up for the crowd) to see which ones are keepers and then put the losers out to the streets healed and with bad nightmares (because, says the man when asked, they mostly likely will come back to gamble when they get any money later). Winners and good fighters that are left are given trade ins from what they were able to defeat and betting chances as well to either upgrade there armor or buy provisions such as food (which comes in the form of plant leafs) or other items (which they get from a Greed Seller).
Corona introduces herself to the man and he introduces himself as Scare, because just as she jumped before, he is really good at making people afraid of him.
That made no sense when reading that, but I'll go ahead with it.

Lightning Strike
So I haven't been able to do much lately on here because I haven't had any internet for over a week.
Why? Cause lightning hit the power cables next to my house and blew the connecting port (as well as some modems and wires).
Finally took care of that. And as I waited to finish, I beat Amnesia: The Dark Descent finally.
Nothing much else except I watched Megamind, Toy Story 3, True Grit, and No Country for Old Men... and I got to say I enjoyed Megamind the best. True Grit was just... blah, not like the original. And No Country was great till the last 20 minutes.
And yes... I did get teary eyed in Toy Story 3.
...grumble.

More to the Collection
So these past few days I've been on a DVD buying craze. I found these movies for a cheap and good price to add to my collection of movies to my list... of really bad movies that I can laugh at.
These include -
Black Sheep - A horror comedy that is completely ridiculous. I laugh at it's grim comedy and it's bloody horror. I mean... weresheep?
Automaton Transfusion - I haven't watched it yet, but I've heard it was a bad bloody zombie movie. One scene made my jaw drop in stupidity.
Piranha - Saw this with my dad and it has this one scene that is just ridiculously graphic. It's pretty good for a horror animal movie.
The Wicker Man (Nick Cage Edition) - Got this for free, and it's one of those movies that I've heard that was so bad that it's funny good.
And the 50 Classic Horror Movie Collection
(including the original Little Shop of Horrors).
Other than that, messed with my red ringed X-box and house sitting for my family.
Also working on pics and some drawings. Later.

Al Vs Gaga
So I've heard "Born this Way" before long ago... but I just found the time to watch video.
...Yeah... that should be on the list some where... but I just don't want to deal with her.
Her and Madonna. Just... no.
But Weird Al Rocks! Lady Gogo this.
I prefer that version. But I always enjoy Weird Al.

Swamp Thing- A Wes Craven Movie
So yeah, when you think about Swamp Thing, bet you don't think "Guy who did Nightmare on Elm Street and Last House on the Left".
I remember watching Swamp Thing long ago as a kid and liking it. It is one of those movies now that I believe if it is remade now it would be kick ass (especially with graphics as they are now).
Deep Fried Bacon...
Seriously, just ate it.
Did nothing much this weekend. Tried to do work, but you know how it goes.

The Little Shop of Horrors... and then some.
If you never seen the 1986 musical "Little Shop of Horrors", you have missed something. Frank Oz did a great job with Audry II (aka Junior) and it's one of my favorite movies.
But... there is more to this series than I knew about a few years ago. Based of the 1960 movie with the same name, I finally got a full copy and decided to watch it.
And then I watched it again. And I knew for sure what I saw.
Jack Nicholson.
Oh... My...God...Better than Bill Murry.
Both disturbing and awesome.
And hey, at least this didn't suffer the same thing as Toxic Avenger right? It couldn't have been made into a children's cartoon?
GOD DAMN IT!

More to the List
So I got my hands on a lot of disturbing movies, including the much talked about Visitor Q and the Guinea Pig series...
And I have still seen worst. Visitor Q is pretty bad (It's like Eraserhead, except just weirder and insulting and confusing and horrific... so exactly like Eraserhead), but I've got some to top that. And Guinea Pig... the much talked about one... is boring. I mean, yeah it's extremely graphic... but it's just that. I've read things worst than what they show and even seen comics that are worse.
In fact, Guinea Pig just reminded me of MPD Psycho. And that series was A LOT WORSE.
Anyway, just saying. I'm excited to watch some of these for the list, especially the old horror ones. How bad can they be? I'll know soon enough.

Toxic - The Saga Begins
So is the time to try this again.
Before I talk about my personal experience with T.A., I wanted to do a brief review of the first (that is right, first: Meaning there is more than one) movie that started it all.
The beginning of the movie starts with a warning that "The Toxic Avenger" Contains scenes of extreme violence and an intro showing New York, pollution, and a health club with Carrot Top as a janitor. Nah, just kidding, Carrot Top looks a lot better than this guy. The Narrator explains that this janitor is Melvin Ferd, a 98 pound weakling (of course!) who just can't fit in with anybody... because he is an annoying ass hat (but more on that later).
We see the opening credits go through the gym with mostly focusing on boobs and crotches (it was the 80's) as well as some stereotypes that we all know about; like the over hyped muscle junkie who looks like he took to much crack, the fat mayor getting massaged while eating, and many more like the fat girl eating chocolate while exercising.
We see two couples in the hot tub watching Melvin being an idiot and they pick on him when they get the chance. And... Bozo?! The hyped up manic is named Bozo?!?!
FAT!!!
This is a comedy, right? I thought it was a horror movie. Wait, it's both? Oh, that's OK then.
We get a sex scene with some murder exposition... wait what? I'll skip the part about Melvin walking in and watching but what about the murder exposition? Apparently the couple have been hit and crush drivers who had been killing on purpose around town. We even get to see a brutal scene of them killing a young boy on a bike... and then running over him again... and then taking photos of it.
Yeah, so these are the villains. Lame 80 punks. Who you think the villains would be in a movie like this? A samurai with a fetish for blades? Polluting terrorists? The Devil? Wait... I'm getting ahead of myself.
Well, out of more boredom, they decided to pull a trick on the dumb ass Melvin and use some blond tease to make him wear a hideous pink and green spotted tutu (which he wears with flare and groove) and then pull the "kissing an farm animal in the dark" trick with everyone in the gym seeing. He is chased around the health club by other customers and he jumps out a second story window (and turning briefly into a blond stunt double) to score a three pointer in a barrel.
He lands in a drum of toxic waste which reminds me of bubbling rock candy, and immediately causes severe burns and disfigurement while everyone stands around to point and laugh... except for the policeman who has his hands set on fire. Despite the burning chemicals even causing him to burst into flames (which is still one of my favorite scenes with Night on Bald Mountain playing as he runs and falls), Melvin survives, and stumbles home. Drawing a bath to try and scrub some of the chemical residue from his horribly scarred flesh, Melvin begins his transformation into a hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength.
I'll tell you in advance to be ready for the "hideously deformed creature of superhuman size and strength" wording, cause that will be a running gag later.
We get to see a cool skin moving and adjusting effect, and then we see the the lame revealing of the Toxic Avenger in his buff distinguishing form... except for his face which you can't see... but if you have ever bought the movie or have seen the poster, then you know what his face looks like. Oh well...
No Pissing
Tues.Thurs.Sat.
8am-11:30pm.
A group of drug dealers (and one ugly man in a dress), led by the criminal Cigar Face aka "Cheech", are harassing a police officer by the name of O'Clancy, trying to buy him off. When he refuses to accept the money, Cigar Face and his gang attack and brutalize him. Then, just as they prepare to shoot Officer O'Clancy in the balls, the Avenger comes out of nowhere and violently kills the criminals (in some of the funniest ways possible, like if the Three Stooges damage to each other were real "nyuk-nyuk-nyuk!","woo-woo-woo!"), then leaves a mop on their faces as a call sign (Cigar Face survives, but has had his testicles smashed by Melvin... if you call that surviving) O'Clancy is initially terrified of the creature but soon learns he was only trying to help him as the creature approaches him and politely apologizes (in a smooth awesome voice over that makes me laugh every time I think about it) for his behavior as he has "never done this sort of thing before".
Well if he has never done this before... I would have let him go also if a voice like that told me.
Melvin (or Toxie as he is later known) is dubbed the "Monster Hero". He tries to return home but his mother is terrified of him and will not let him in the house (like most teenagers). He goes to the toxic junkyard and makes house that would be fit for many people I know.
"Here we see the natural 'Toxicus Mutantious' in his natural habitat, making a nest for him to sleep and eventually mate in. Goodnight, Toxie, sweet dreams till the morning."
Elsewhere in Tromaville, a gang of three men are holding up a Mexican restaurant (which has to be one of the worst one's I have seen... but it is New Jersey). The men kill one of the patrons, and attack a blind woman named Sarah. They kill her guide dog (Boomer didn't survive, even though we see him breathing later) and attempt to rape her, but are stopped by Toxie.
This next scene is one of the most brutal and horrible fight scenes that I have ever seen in my life.
You know, for kids!
He wreaks bloody vengeance on the men, including but not limiting to: ripping an arm off and beating him with it, being stuffed in an oven, having ones hands and wrists plunged into a deep-fryer, and one being covered in whipped cream (and a cherry) before having a milkshake-stirrer rammed into his throat.
Toxie takes Sarah back to her home, where they begin to get to know one another (after she hits him in the nuts on accident a few times), and progressively fall in love. I think he found a mate!
But enough about romance, let's see Toxie return to the Health Club and kill a drug dealer by crushing his face with a weight lifting machine. Also frying the ass of that hot girl who masturbates to photos of the hit and run victims. And here we finally see the face of the Toxic Avenger... and he looks alot better than what Melvin looked like.
After all that work, Toxie relieves himself of green slime from a hose (I would say piss but that looks nothing like) in a back alley when a limo pulls up and a pimp tries to push a 12-year-old (Bullshit!) girl onto him.
If he impales the pimp with his cock, this may be my new favorite movie.
When he starts to fight back to save the girl, a group of men come out of the limo; he fights them all off and saves the girl. We see a montage of Toxie building up a friendly reputation in Tromaville by doing all sorts of "superhero" work, from saving two younger boys from Bozo's group, open a jar of popcorn seeds, and even helping the elderly to cross the street.
Meanwhile, Mayor "FatAss" Belgoody is becoming more and more aware about what is happening to his goons, as not only are they being killed one-by-one by the Monster Hero, but some of them are also turning themselves in for their own safety. He is now worried that their deaths will lead up to him sooner than he expects and wants the Monster Hero to be taken care of...
One night, Cigar Face returns (covered in bandages and casts) and brings along a new group of Belgoody's goons to surround the Monster with guns. Before they fire on him he jumps up to a fire escape (via Super Mario Jump), and they end up shooting and killing each other.
Toxie returns to the health club again and attacks the blond tease Julie with the power of Movie Monsters (that no matter how slow he walks, he will always catch up to the prey (on another note, I just realized that he has all the powers of Jason but with the ability to talk) and finishes her off with... scissors? I mean, after all that... scissors?
I feel disappointed.
Soon afterwards, he confronts the last of his tormentors, Bozo and Slug (I still shake my head at those names), whom have attacked an old woman (seriously, I saw them punch her) and stolen her car. Bozo and Slug try to run him over, but Toxie jumps on top of the car (good thing Japanese imports have hand holders on top) and grabs Slug, crushing his neck and throwing him out of the moving car. Toxie then confronts Bozo, grabbing him by the face and terrifies him by revealing himself as Melvin from the accident to a horrified Bozo. After several accidents that occur because of Bozo's driving, Toxie tears off the wheel to the car (like I do when I get mad at Matt) causing Bozo to drive off the side of a cliff. The car crashes and bursts into flames, burning Bozo alive but unaffecting Toxie.
Just a normal day for him, you know. Shake it off.
Then we see a weird scene. I know, after all that I now say that.
We see this old woman at the dry cleaners talking about her kids when Toxie comes in and brutally kills her with laundry (well more of drying and steaming her also, but...).
"No ticky, no washy!"
Toxie wanders back to his junkyard home, revealing his true identity to Sarah (the fact that he is a mutant monster, not a 98 pound ugly freaky nerd) and feeling terrified and guilty for what he has become. Sarah however tells Melvin that she still loves him no matter what he looks like and the two decide to move away from the city and take a tent into nearby woods.
However, Mayor FatAss Belgoody finds out about the Monster Hero's "mishap" (it is revealed that she is in fact a leader of an underground white slave trade) and uses this opportunity to call in the National Guard in hopes of finally killing him. Soon Sarah and Toxie are discovered in the woods and now surrounded by both the National Guard and the townspeople. The Mayor comes, intent on killing him (whereas the National Guard's request was originally for capture) but thanks to the Toxie's kind duties to the town, the people of Tromaville will have none of it. The Mayor's evil ways are exposed after he threatens to kill O'Clancy for trying to take his gun away from him, and Toxie proceeds to rip out Belgoody's organs to see if he has "any guts".
Yea!!! Everybody cheer for disembowlment in front of the children. You know, for kids!
The film ends with the townspeople's celebration at the Monster's acceptance and a reassuring epilogue that wherever evil brews in Tromaville, Melvin the Monster Hero, now dubbed the "Toxic Avenger," will be there to protect the town.
Final Verdict -
This is one of my favorite horror comedies ever. It is so bad and 80's that I laugh almost every time I watch it. I recommend this to anyone who had loved any of the nature shows or just gets a kick out of bad movies.
I mean, as bad and violent as it is and as much as I joke about it, no one in there right mind would make this into a children's cartoon series?
Wait... WHAT!?
Before I talk about my personal experience with T.A., I wanted to do a brief review of the first (that is right, first: Meaning there is more than one) movie that started it all.
The beginning of the movie starts with a warning that "The Toxic Avenger" Contains scenes of extreme violence and an intro showing New York, pollution, and a health club with Carrot Top as a janitor. Nah, just kidding, Carrot Top looks a lot better than this guy. The Narrator explains that this janitor is Melvin Ferd, a 98 pound weakling (of course!) who just can't fit in with anybody... because he is an annoying ass hat (but more on that later).
We see the opening credits go through the gym with mostly focusing on boobs and crotches (it was the 80's) as well as some stereotypes that we all know about; like the over hyped muscle junkie who looks like he took to much crack, the fat mayor getting massaged while eating, and many more like the fat girl eating chocolate while exercising.
We see two couples in the hot tub watching Melvin being an idiot and they pick on him when they get the chance. And... Bozo?! The hyped up manic is named Bozo?!?!
FAT!!!
This is a comedy, right? I thought it was a horror movie. Wait, it's both? Oh, that's OK then.
We get a sex scene with some murder exposition... wait what? I'll skip the part about Melvin walking in and watching but what about the murder exposition? Apparently the couple have been hit and crush drivers who had been killing on purpose around town. We even get to see a brutal scene of them killing a young boy on a bike... and then running over him again... and then taking photos of it.

MY DAY OFF!!! YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!
And for a treat for myself, I will spend it writing things while listening to some music and videos. My first thing to finish is the Toxic Avenger review, and then I can work on some of the notes for my other stories.
I want to work on the Scare pre-story and parts for a new story called "Chained Wolf" and even some inspired ideas for "Scarred".
And now, for those who read my blog, the Toxic Avenger review.

Friday the 13th 2011 - A time for horror movies
Finishing up my review of Toxic Avenger, but with this unlucky night of horror I decided to put out a quick list of random horror titles on my list. Some of my favs and some I find to be interesting.
And maybe... disturbing. MWAHAHAHA!!!
1408
(I like narrative stories. Also the idea of him just going crazy in a room is just creepy for me who has had that feeling many times before)
The Strangers
(You want to be scared of ever living in a house? Watch this movie to be a promoter of owing firearms and never let this happen to you. Just kidding about that, but it is a good creepy movie)
Candyman
(Say that name after you watch the movie and you got guts... and maybe bees in you)
The Frighteners
(It's a fun movie and it has Micheal J. Fox)
And my top recommendation for horror lovers -
Brain Dead a.k.a. Dead Alive
(You want a really good zombie movie? This is it. It is so gory though that it needs it's own barf bag to hold it. Forget shotguns, I'm bringing a mower to the Zombie Apocalypse)

Late thought
You ever have one of those days where you are working on stuff, and then you realize...
Gerard Butler was the Phantom of the Opera?!?
Someone told me that years ago, and I just finally registered it. I'll talk about it in detail later because it is kinda a funny story, but just thought I should remind some people.

BullSh*t
On my day off, I had to shop, paint, clean, fix my car, and pay bills.
So I decided to watch some B.S.
...
......
.........
with Penn and Teller. The Showtime T.V. show.
It's pretty good.
I guess till I can finish unpacking and cleaning, I won't be able to do a review with my full concentration. Give me time to gather my own B.S. together and I'll be back soon with it.
Till then, here is some recommendations -
Portal 2
Despicable Me
Fajitas
and Rocky Horror Picture Show!

Heard some news
About Bin Laden today. Don't know the details yet, and I know I am late with the news, but I'm going to see what is up. More delays...
Friday, April 29, 2011
Explained delays
Argh... my last 2 days of work have really drained me. If it isn't because of a busy day with customers, it is with the store itself trying to get me running around in circles. But besides all that, just been feeling ill. Like "I want to lay down and not get up till I feel better" kinda ill. Mostly just exhausted, sore, coughing, and headache. It doesn't feel like allergies... just that I want a break, from both work and unpacking.
I would talk about other things like people and events, but I rather wait on that. I think I wrote too much on my other account about someone and... well just no one needs to b\put things together yet on here.
Till then, hopefully I will write my review tomorrow. Otherwise it will just be random stuff again.

I return but not with a story or review, but just to inform that I feel ill. I will explain in due time. That is all.

The Cleanest - A Preview of The Toxic Avenger
If you have ever tried framing photos, you might have realized that it is really easy to get dust and hair in the picture. Try as you might, with all the constant wiping, blowing, and brushing, it only takes another breath before something else is on the glass.
When you work with frames, you got to keep a constant clean state. But even with all the tools you can use, it only takes one prissy uptight customer to point out that there is a gray speck on their white mat and then you have to undo the whole piece to clean, re clean, and then put back together just to have them find something new...argh!
So to take my mind off the horror of staying clean and neat, I decided to re-watch one of my favorite messy movies in my messy room. The Toxic Avenger!
Made by the now infamous Troma Entertainment, T.A. was there first time with horror (with a brilliant twist of gross comedy). In a weird twist to regular horror movies were the monster kills off innocent people in brutal ways, we have a hero monster saving children killing off villains in very brutal ways. Like the Saw series, this brutal way of killing was OK by viewers because they were bad guys, and people don't care if bad guys get killed (cough, some bad history there...). Mostly inspired by that whole messy Nuclear 80's craze (such as Swamp Thing and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) which for a weird turn of events became more of an environmental prevention issue... but I'll talk about that later.
The weird thing about this series is how it has grown over the years, and I don't mean by it's size, but it's remembrance and style. It's now a musical?
It's time to remember what the original was, so tomorrow I will start my review on one of the messiest, grossest, dirtiest series ever made. Be prepared to feel dirty.

Internet Gained!
Hi! I'm back.
Finally got me some internet. But I got work in the morning. I'll update tomorrow with what's been going on, but I will give you a quick run through.
Moved completely out of my old house, still unpacking boxes, hooked up Matt's TV, watched Jackass Movies...
...
......
............
Yeah, that is about it. Just work and unpacking. Hopefully done soon and I can write some stuff down, but I got to finish some art stuff for Sunday.
I'll be back later today.

While I have internet - Withdrawl
AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!! It's been almost 2 weeks since I have had internet! My only sorce is my phone and I can only get so much done with that!
Anyway, quick update -
My room is almost done. We got a refrigerator and food. The living room and kitchen are done. Matt got his new 55" 3D TV and we still need to install it. Got electricity and water (for now, got to make sure Matt paid the bill) Still no internet or garbage pickup. Mostly working at HL...
Also been watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Gremlins. They are a classic!
Now I'm going to try and fix the internet part again. Hopefully this won't be much longer... I got alot of writing I want to get done.

While I have internet - Wanting something...
Not moving anything tonight, so I got sometime to think and look around online.
And I decided to ask myself what it is I want. I mean, just what is my goal?
I guess it's no different for other people... I want somethings and to be happy. But what makes me happy?
Well, there is this one person...
But that is another story.
It's hard to say what I want in life. After a long time, I just want to be heard. To be read about. To tell my stories and let someone be affected by them. Art is changing and constant (and I'll always like that) but stories... there is something everlasting about that. A plot can change a life, a character can inspire greatness, and an ending could set the world ablaze.
So what do I want? What every single straight twenty something year old wants-
A F#CKING GIRLFRIEND!
And I decided to ask myself what it is I want. I mean, just what is my goal?
I guess it's no different for other people... I want somethings and to be happy. But what makes me happy?
Well, there is this one person...
But that is another story.
It's hard to say what I want in life. After a long time, I just want to be heard. To be read about. To tell my stories and let someone be affected by them. Art is changing and constant (and I'll always like that) but stories... there is something everlasting about that. A plot can change a life, a character can inspire greatness, and an ending could set the world ablaze.
So what do I want? What every single straight twenty something year old wants-
A F#CKING GIRLFRIEND!

Almost New Home
Hey, due to quick work and time, I will be busy with work and moving stuff at my rented house. I'll be working on multiple things and be trying to get things ready for me and Matt to move in soon. We moved the stuff from storage and I still need to move alot of my stuff from my room (including bed, TV, clothes) and pay for utilities. We will get set up first and then get some tv with internet soon. But I will be busy for these next few days. So till then, see you again later.

Sucker Punch - A mixed review
So I just came back and saw Sucker Punch.
I went in with hearing negative reviews. So I went in with a armored view.
And after the movie was over I had 2 views-
The Critic in me - Hated it.
The Artist and Writer in me - Loved it.
As I was watching I kept thinking of different mixes of movies.
First was "Inception and Revolver" and then "Painkiller, Afro Samurai, I Robot"... the list went on. But as time passed, I enjoyed the thinking that there was a dash of "David Lynch" in this.
And then I had to laugh. Eraserhead had numbed me to the weirdness of the movie. I kinda enjoyed it.
Oh god, I recommended Eraserhead... think away, think away...
Anyway, the message I liked. Basically the power to do anything comes from you, no matter where your thoughts go. But because of it's multilayer plot, it was hard to follow... while watching it. In the end, it makes sense (kinda), and maybe enough to watch it again another time.
Definitely watch it for the action scenes.
Now to re-watch one of my favorite movies- The Toxic Avenger.

Eraserhead - Part 3 - Where it hits the fan.
I got some things going on right now, but I know what is to come in the next few minutes so I'll finish the review up now.
...Wait, does this mean I got to re-watch agai-
(52 minutes later)
GOD DAMN IT, I HATE THE FIRST HALF OF THIS MOVIE!!!
SSSSOOOO SSSSLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW....
Ok, quick re-cap.
Awkward scenes. Non-explained things. Annoying creepy ugly babyish thing. Rock cheeks.
Everybody caught up? No? Good, that means we are watching the right movie.
So we see Henry and Mary trying to sleep in bed. We get the usual antics of a couple sleeping together... and then we see Henry pull all these alien sperms out of the bed.
And then we see something really disturbing. CLAYMATION!
Then Henry stares into the darkness and... Hello, beautiful. We meet again. Yeah, shut up baby, we don't need your squawking now (PARENT OF THE YEAR!).
So as they kiss in a crater/bed, she gives that look of "What the hell is that thing?" And all I can do is laugh as I think, "Really? Now you notice. One step in that room with that thing and I would have just freaked out instantly." Then her hair becomes Cousin It.
Then Rock Cheeks comes back and sings a song. (INTERMISSION!)
Wait, no. No more breaks. I'm going to finish this movie now!
SO Henry steps towards Rock Cheeks on stage and the stare at each other... She smile and holds out her hands while he freaks out and sees white and her disappearing suddenly and then the Barnicale Man shows up with alien sperm on the ground and then a tree comes on stage and then his head falls off...
IS THIS MAKING ANY SENSE TO PEOPLE?!?!?
Then we have the baby scream and my ears bleed... and then we follow the adventures of Henry's head (which include laying in blood, falling in blood, splatting on the ground to be pick up by a kid, and then being sold to a pawn shop.) Stupid kid, should have bet on eBay.
And now we get the title drop scene, as the us his brain to make erasers for pencil...
Get it... cause they used his head... Eraserhead... because that was an such an important plot for it to be made into the title of this movie. (Headslam)
Henry wakes up and (as I figure most of the movie to be) finds it to be a dream. He tries for a round 2 with the neighbor lady, but only gets a laugh from the nude albino Salacious B. Crumb.
And I thank God that there is only 10 minutes left in this movie.
So Henry decides to cut the bandages off the baby (which is convulsing) and we see (FINALLY) the reason I label this movie as one of the most disturbing films I have seen.
I can describe it, but Wikipedia beat me to it.
From Wikipedia -
"Henry finds that the bandages were the only thing containing the baby's internal organs; the body splits open and the baby's vital organs are exposed. As the baby gasps in pain, Henry stabs one of its organs with the scissors. Rather than dying, the baby continues to convulse in pain, causing Henry to turn away in disgust. Large amounts of liquid gush forth from the organs, followed by huge quantities of a foamy substance that completely covers the body. The apartment’s electricity overloads, and as the lights flicker on and off, the baby's neck extends to an extraordinary length, causing it to strongly resemble the flagellate creatures seen throughout the film. A giant apparition of its head materializes in the apartment. It then becomes a strange planet. Henry is then seen with eraser shavings billowing behind his head."
That is what happens. But what I see it the attack of the Electric company, Tapioca pudding, and a raptor eating a cheerleader.
The movie ends with the cover art and Barnacle Man getting burned while Rock Cheeks hugs Henry in white light to the credits.
Final Say -
I really don't like this movie on a 'movie quality' rating. I personally hate watching this movie and try to think of the story, which is usually my favorite part.
But you got to see it with an artistic mind. The symbolism is heavy in this and the three evident ones are relationships, affairs, and child raising. But there is so many different other symbols that it just becomes a convoluted mess that just makes it weird and disturbing.
And if you want to see it, I recommend to see it only once.
ONLY ONCE.
Not only is it a dragging movie, but after you see the 2 best scenes you never want to see them again.
Ok, there, it's done. Now can I...
Oh no... no... I'm still going. The dreams...
Chalk!

Eraserhead - Part 2
So with my time off, I go house shopping for a place to live and get away from the folks. But Now I have time to continue with Part 2 of the review.
But first, I got to re-watch the first few minutes... again.
(15 minutes of watching and banging my head against the wall later)
IT'S STILL SO SLOW AND STILL NOTHING HAS HAPPENED! AGAIN!!!
So after another walking scene, we come to the house of Henry's girlfriend's house Mary (played by Charlotte Stewart, and I would make a Tremors joke about this movie, but I just don't care at this point). We get some awkward talking scenes and we go inside to me the parents, but not before we hear some weird squeaking noises and see a litter of puppies feeding...
They talk... then pause... then talk again... then Mary has a fit and has her hair brushed...
Then the father comes in and starts ranting. And I got to say personally that the father is so far my favorite character. Maybe it's because he reminds me of someone...
More awkward scenes happen with grandma and some more long scenes in the kitchen lead to one of the most infamous scenes in the movie, the diner table chicken carving.
Finally, something disturbing to talk about!
Let me quickly describe it as this -
Henry cuts a small chicken, the mother orgasms while the chicken starts moving and bleeding (or crapping, not sure in black of white), and the ladies run out while Henry tries to figure out what the hell is going on... or is that just me?
Anyway, whatever you do after watching this scene, don't go ordering and Chinese ducks for diner. Don't ask why but let me just say that I warned you. See?
Awkward...
At the 30 minute mark, we are finally give the plot (after some more awkward scenes with the mother). Turns out that Henry and Mary have a extremely premature baby that they have to take care of. The baby (or rather the repulsive piece of scrotum leftovers of Kermit the frog) is ugly (No! you don't say?), wrapped in bandages while on a pillow, and strangely reminds me of a baby bird without a beak, a alien reject, or Doug Jones in a Hellboy movie.
Now we have the second problem of the movie... the constant whining (or rather squawking) of this thing... But I'll explain that later.
We see Mary try to feed it for a few minutes while Henry walks around some more... Then he comes home and stares at the heater... and then night time with some more unexplained scenes of Henry doing little things.
We watch Mary get angry at night with the whining and leave in a rush, saying she just needs a good night sleep and to take care of the baby.
Henry takes the baby's temperature (with a normal reading) and when he turns around it suddenly has boils, sores, and is gasping for breath.
Pull out the humidifier!\
And then we see... err... A lady in the radiator with large rock like cheeks shuffle back and forth while stepping on sperm...
...You know what, I'm going to need a few more days again.
To be concluded.
But first, I got to re-watch the first few minutes... again.

Pay day! - A review of Eraserhead
Got my first check as a full timer today and what a difference in pay. I can afford things now.
Other than that, my friend Steph made me a artist card for me -
Looks sweet right? I'm really happy about it.
But other than those awesome things in my life, that's probably not why you are here (people of the future). You're here to read about my first review of easily one of the most disturbing movies ever made.
Of course I mean the twisted, sickening, horrorable... (whispers) What? I can't do that review yet? Well how about Cannibal Holo...(whispers) Ok, how about Sal... (whispers) Oh, I can't cause I don't have the mature filter on yet...
Well then, let's talk about Eraserhead.
It's hard to talk about anything weird and strange without mentioning David Lynch. Known for his surrealist films, he has developed his own unique cinematic style, which has been dubbed "Lynchian", and which is characterized by its dream imagery and meticulous sound design. If you need an example, take a look at his style in a Car Commercial. Eraserhead was his first mainstream movie and the one that put him on the map of being weird and disturbing, but is it any good? Let me explain...
As the film begins with the title, you see a man with strange hair on his side with a planet in space behind him. I didn't understand the symbolism yet, but I continued to watch...and watch... and watch.
And right away I saw a problem with this film.
It's slow. Like at a snails pace slow. I mean, yeah I see a barnacle man sitting next to a broken window and that weird haired man puke out an alien fetus... but it takes about 5 minutes to do so. 5 minutes and I have no freaking clue what the hell is going on in any sort of way. Is it symbolism? Is this foreshadowing? Is this a random way to get people to go WTF on the film and be confused? I'm not sure but I get the feeling I'm never going to find out.
So we see the main protagonist of the film, Henry Spencer (played by the late Jack Nance),walking in the back of a industrial site (or Matt's old backyard at some points) to his apartment room. At this point it has been 10 minutes since the movie started and I have yet to see anything close to resembling a story. So I have to take the art student side of me and believe that this is just a visual experience that I have to enjoy.
... and then I see a minute scene with him waiting on an elevator for the doors to close.
Look, I don't care what movie does it, any scene that has an elevator scene with nothing happening in it is just wasting time. You don't need to see it and it makes no contribution to the plot. "But Will," I hear some of my readers say, "It's showing the realism of the mundane in our lives." I don't care, it's still boring and I don't have to watch it.
...Seriously, I don't. You can't make me.
...You still can't make me.
...Damn you.
So he gets to the door when some exposition (like his name and girlfriend) is given to us by HELLO GOOD LOOKING lady neighbor across from his room played by Judith Roberts.
... I swear I have seen her before somewhere... Wait, isn't she that killer ventriloquist lady in Dead Silence? And she is in Choke? Hmm... I'll have to get back to her someday.
More minutes pass as we watch him move around his room, turn on a record, take off his sock, put it on the heater, look at his floor to see black hay, look at a window, get up and open a drawer, throw a coin or button in a bowl, look at a torn picture of a women...
The 15 minute mark hits and I wonder how much longer I have to watch this art film in which I haven't seen anything really happen with a point...
AN HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES LEFT!!! DAMN!!!!

I love the smell of new custom frames in the morning... it smells like pine and foam.
So had to pick up some heavy rocks this morning for Mom's backyard and I think I pulled a muscle in my left arm. It's a little sore and hard to lift stuff for now. Hopefully it will get better soon.
Stock for Hobby Lobby today. Lots of work and another weird customer...
But enough about regular working days, what do I have to say about disturbing stuff.
Or more to the point, what is disturbing?
dis·turbed
adj. Showing signs or symptoms of mental or emotional illness
mov·ie
n. A sequence of photographs projected onto a screen with sufficient rapidity as to create the illusion of motion and continuity.
...ok, I don't see the point in defining movie, but maybe that will be important later.
Now, I have a list made of alot of movies that qualify (and I have seen more than half of them), but I want to keep this close for now. Going to read for a bit then head to bed. Got a early (well early for me) morning.

Another day, another excuse to bang my head on the wall...
Argh... what a dragging day. No custom frames to do so just waiting and cleaning and taking orders... just a long day.
Ok, so I got some planning to do.
1. Find new house [the one I was looking at got sold :( ]
2. Find editing software for videos.
3. Start re-recording some watching expression of weird movies.
4. Start writing script again (lost all my scripts when my hard drive crashed in January).
5. Make the Disturbed List Movie Reviews.
6. Go nuts.
Along the way, I'll work on art, get into some art shows, frame some things, and hopefully start going out more often. Here is to hope and to trying to write something at least once a day!

And so it begins...
Day 1. The first thoughts. The first words. The first story.
...
I wonder if I left the oven on?... Oh well.
Greetings and welcome to my blog page. I don't expect anything to happen for a while, but I might as well put what I have in my head here. I have an art page here - http://g2ksurivemors.deviantart.com/ and some other things in store for later. If you are wondering about the name of the blog, it is simple -
1. I have some ideas for reviewing really disturbing, weird, creepy, and just strange movies that make people think "Why was this made?" I'll take on anything from horrible to cult classic... but maybe watching all these movies have altered my brain, and have left me a little bit... disturbed.
2. My name is Will.
3. I'm an insane bastard.
So I hope you enjoy what is to come and what will be. There will be laughs, gasps, spoilers, and freaky things to come.
And to those who are new to this blog. You have been warned.
