Damien: Omen 2

I can't sleep because I can't stop laughing. (Also because I haven't adjusted to setting the clocks forward yet, probably). Anyway, someone at XFinity has a sense of humor. Damien: Omen 2 is on their menu of free movies, and the little caption they gave it says "A couple sends the Antichrist to military school." I'm lying here in the dark, cracking up. What a great description. "Honey, let's send the Antichrist to military school! What could go wrong?" Then, later on, after a shitload of carnage: "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time."

Anyway, that cracked me up.

It is interesting, by the way, that Omen 2 was clearly trying to send the franchise in the direction of a militaristic Damien fucking up the world via armies and war. Someone must have changed their mind between Omen 2 and Omen 3, because in the third one he wasn't militaristic at all. He was CEO of Thorn Industries, and also some sort of a rather beloved figure on the world stage, if I recall correctly, appointed to run some kind of world youth organization by the United Nations.

Silver Bullet (1985)

I just noticed the poster of the solar system on the wall, in Corey Haim's character's bedroom. I had that exact same poster on my bedroom wall, when I was a kid! I also had a jet-powered super-wheelchair with cool red flames painted on the sides, so that was fun too. (My last statement is significantly less accurate than my first statement). Anyway, you can see the poster when he sits on his bed after crawling through his window, right after getting home after he hits the werewolf in the eye with the firework/rocket thing. Here's the poster:

Spring Break

It feels very weird for me. I haven't been in school-mode in over a decade, but the change hits you. Now that I appreciate the merit of Spring Break again, I hope to watch some great trash for the few weeks.

The challenge has been fun so far. I love the video nasty point. That gets me through hard times. Watched Girls Nite Out for a gore or nudity point, but I don't feel right in counting only blood and no titties. Need to work on them FTVs though!

Since I've got time to waste, I'll be working on a new feature that I think will be a lot of fun. Me and ballz are working out the details, but it's going to be cool. If you guys are on TE this much, I might as well give you more things to do.

Watch the TRVL Channel!!!

You guys, turn your TV or whatever on, and tell it to go to the TRVL (Travel) Channel. It's all paranormal stuff: ghosts, Bigfoot, cryptids, etc. Amazing. I think it used to be an actual channel about travel, but... not anymore.

Best of Cemetery Dance, Volume One

I just took this out of the library. Looks promising! Let's see how much of a dent I can make in it, before it's due back. I'll let you guys know if it's any good.

Hitch-Hike 1977

This here is a movie I've only seen maybe twice, and that was about a decade ago. I bought the Blue Underground dvd back when they were on top of the horror world, but I hardly had an opinion of it back then. In watching it again after all these years, I'm really enjoying it. This is one entertaining Italian exploitaiton movie.

So over in the Spaghetti west, Franco Nero plays a man with a hot wife that he hates. He's a drunken asshole and they bicker all the time. He's even thought of killing her, but the two will go through the motions of holy matrimony even if they're unhappy with their marriage. That is, until David Hess arrives, and anybody who knows the Hess knows that he's up to no good!

Hess is great to watch. He may have been typecast, but it wasn't for no reason. He's even rather likeable, trying to weasel out a book deal with our disgruntled protagonist, and for a good story, he needs to make it with the wife, which puts a damper on everything for the trio of fugitive and accomplices.

One thing I like about this movie is the score. It's a stand out, almost Carpenter-esque in how simple and charming it can be. Coupled with a good story arc, plenty of changes, charismatic performances, and a good immoral ending, Hitch-Hike is some damn fine Italian cinema.
