So, how did we get here? Let’s track back a few months to the Big Gold Statue Watching Party. TerrorScribes like me are generally not allowed anywhere near polite company so I was relegated to working sound in the projection booth. All in all, it wasn’t a bad gig and I was able to jack
‘New Moon’ – A Survivor’s Story
“These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die, like fire and powder. Which, as they kiss, consume.” Bella first words in “New Moon”. “Second verse same as the first.” “Henry the Eighth” by Herman’s Hermits, what Bella should have said. I’ve been asked by more than a few people why, as someone
‘Twilight’ – A Survivor’s Story

More Mortal Kombat? This Is Only a Test
OK, this clip was burninating Twitter up all day yesterday and now the details are starting to come out. Apparently this is a test clip from Kevin Tancharoen (who directed “Fame” last year) and who now seems to have a really geektastic idea for reviving the MK franchise. When last we left it, MK2 was
The Really, Amazingly NSFW 2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams Trailer
I guess file this one under “As above, so below.” “2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams” makes no bones about being raw and raunchy, lewd, crude and socially unacceptable. As such, it made perfect sense to director Tim Sullivan that the trailer for the movie should be just as outrageous. The kind folks at Shock Til
