    Looks like the new Halloween film stays true to the series in that it's pretty shit. Is there a worse horror franchise?

    worse... probably Friday the 13th/Nightmare on Elmstreet. Absolute shit. The original nightmare is doable...bout' it. Halloween, the first 2 are fine. That basically secures it being better than those other two. Season of the witch is it's own animal.

    I think here is where we part ways friend. Elm Street is amazing and Friday the 13th is exploitative rubbish but at least you get the nudity and the gore.

    Have you seen Dream Warriors?

     

     

    Seen em' all. Like I said, original nightmare is fine. never liked the rest. Friday the 13th is unwatchable for me. But really, all the horror franchises mentioned are pretty shit, minus a handful of decent flicks sprinkled in there.

    Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)

    Billings, Montana

     

    President Donald Trump told supporters Thursday that if he is impeached "it's your fault 'cause you didn't go out to vote."
     
    "You didn't go out to vote -- that's the only way it could happen," Trump said during a rally in Billings, Montana.
    "I'll be the only President in history they'll say: 'What a job he's done! By the way, we're impeaching him,' " Trump said.
    "This election, you aren't just voting for a candidate, you are voting for which party controls Congress," the President said. "Very important thing. Very important thing." 
     
    At Thursday's rally, Trump railed against Democrats, like Rep. Maxine Waters of California, who have made impeaching him a central part of their political identity. He engaged in a mock conversation, playing both the role of supporter and defender, during one portion of the rally.
    "They like to use the 'impeach' word," Trump said. " 'Impeach Trump.' Maxine Waters: 'We will impeach him.' 'But he didn't do anything wrong.' 'It doesn't matter. We will impeach him. We will impeach.' "
     
    "But I say, how do you impeach somebody that's doing a great job, that hasn't done anything wrong?" Trump said. "Our economy is good. How do you do it? How do you do it? How do you do it?"
    " 'We will impeach him!' " Trump shouted, " 'But he's doing a great job!' 'Doesn't matter.' Remember that line, 'He's doing a great job.' 'That doesn't matter. We'll impeach him.'"
    Trump later warned the United States would turn into a "Third World country" because of the precedent his hypothetical impeachment would set.
    "But let's say a Democrat gets elected, and let's say we have a Republican House. We will impeach that Democrat, right? And then a Republican. We won by a lot. We won by a hell of a margin," Trump said.
    "If the opposite party becomes president, every time before it even starts, before you've even found out whether or not he or she is going to do a great job, they'll say, 'We want to impeach him' and you'll impeach him," Trump said. "It's so ridiculous."

     

     

    "It's so ridiculous."

     

    "It's so ridiculous."

     

    "It's so ridiculous."

    “Small Victories: The True Story of Faith No More”

     

     

    Adrian Harte, the blogger whose website, Faith No More 2.0 (www.newfaithnomore.com), has become the pre-eminent source for all things Faith No More, releases the book, “Small Victories: The True Story of Faith No More: on Sept. 12 via Jawbone Press.
     
    “When I first heard about this Faith No More biography, I didn’t know what to think,” said Faith No More co-founder and bass player Bill Gould. “But I have to give credit where it is due. It’s a quality piece. The man has done his research, and it shows. It provided me with more than a few revelations… and I’m in the band.”
     
     
    While not an official book from Faith No More itself, the 376-page offering features interviews with multiple band members, managers and key figures from the band’s 39-year history and has the full endorsement of the San Francisco-based group.
     
    “Small Victories…” tells how such a heterogeneous group formed, flourished, and fractured, and how Faith No More helped redefine rock, metal and alternative music. The book chronicles the creative and personal tensions that defined and fueled the band, forensically examines the band’s beginnings in San Francisco’s post-punk wasteland, and charts the group’s ascent to MTV-era stardom. Based on meticulous research and hundreds of interviews, the book combines a fan’s passion with a reporter’s perspicacity.

    I agree with Eugene on this one. For a good portion of the film I thought, oh wow somebody actually made a profound horror film without resorting to dumb clichés and tropes, and then I thought, oh right here they come... It still was pretty damned good, but damn son, it could've been so much better.

     

    Really, the 2 things that stuck with me the most about this one were...

     

     

     

    A: The mom realizing what is happening, but unable to stop her self decapitation due to the demon still controlling her body. I wasn't sure if my take on that scene was correct, but the director pretty much confirmed it in an interview somewhere.

     

    B. The Grandma was quite the complete bitch. Sacrificing herself, daughter & granddaughter that is. Or was it more her cult that turned out to be some straight assholes. hand-in-hand I guess.

    Paula Duncan didn't wear her red "Make America Great Again" hat when she arrived in court to serve on Paul Manafort's jury.
     
    She kept it in her car, she tells NBC News.
     
    But Duncan, an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump, came to the Manafort trial thinking that Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is a witch hunt that is maligning a good president and dividing America.
     
    She still thinks so.
     
    But she also had no doubt that Paul Manafort, once Trump's campaign chairman, was guilty. She would have convicted him on all counts, she said, but she and 10 other jurors were stymied by a lone holdout.
     
    And no, she doesn't believe that person, a woman, was a Trump supporter.
     
    "I wanted Paul Manafort to be innocent, but he wasn't," Duncan told NBC News.
     
    Duncan, a homemaker who lives in Leesburg, Virginia, said she believes Manafort was a "pawn," in Mueller's Russia probe, an investigation about which she has serious doubts.
     
    She's not even sure Russia interfered in the election.
     
    "I as a voter, when I went out to check my boxes I didn't see any Russian holding a gun to my head, so how could Russia have affected the campaign results," said Duncan, who first spoke to Fox News.

    this was really stupid. nothing about it was funny, fun or interesting. just overly-the-top stupid which is the point, but that doesn't even equal so-bad-it's good

     

    Those special effects though. Somebody just got their after effects degree.
