Magic 2012 Prerelease Weekend

Time for another MTG prerelease. I’ll be hitting the midnight tourney at our local HobbyTown here in Lincoln, this Friday night (July 8). It’s the core set, so it’s more straightforward gameplay. I’m gonna buy a box and try to rope some of my pals into doing a draft some night.

Altered Realities Radio tonight: Remakes

I’m an unapologetic, unabashed supporter of horror remakes. My point of view is certainly in the minority when it comes to the general horror fan.

NoCalMike (a.k.a. Mike from Sacramento in the chat room) will be participating in a live radio call in show tonight around 8pm central time on Altered Realities Radio. I’m gonna try to get in on this after Steve and I are done working up a manly sweat in basketball.

You can check out the link to the live show and their live chat right here.

Last week, Jeff called in and chatted about England’s refusal to sell Human Centipede 2. This week, I feel like I might be the one defending the legitimacy of remakes in general with a focus on the horror remake. I won’t be on right at 8, but I encourage listeners to jump on their chat and interact with the lovely ladies hosting the show. Maybe we’ll get some good debate going!

Our Contagion adventure is over!

As you probably know by now, we went to to Contagion: Outbreak this weekend. It’s the first horror/sci-fi con in Nebraska in nearly 10 years. We didn’t quite know what to expect especially since Deejay was in Greece and would not be able to sell. It would be left up to Steve and I to man the booth and move units. Contagion was, quite possibly, the best con experience we’ve had so far. We sold just as many movies here as we did at Horror Hound in less than half the time. On top of that, this con probably had 1/16th the amount of people that were at HHW. And we did it all without Deejay :)

The next con we’re going to is Days of the Dead which is next month, back in Indianapolis again. I’m excited for that but I guarantee it’ll be the last time we’re ever in Indy. It’s just not worth the money for gas, hotels, etc., especially when we can move just as many units 45 minutes from home.  We’ll have a full report of our Contagion adventures on Monday nights Splattercast including shout outs to all the swell people we met and Deejay will hopefully be back to tell us all about Greece!

Until then, Steve and I are gonna make it rain…right after I go to sleep.

Review: Sucker Punch


Sucker Punch (2011) d. Zack Snider

I realized I used some colorful language during this review, so if you don’t think you’ll be offended… (more…)

DDR to the Death

The FP was a big hit at SXSW. If the trailer is any indication, it may be the greatest film of all time…
