The first rule of flea club: You do not talk about flea club.
I’m so glad Bucky Katt is a fan of Fight Club. It’s one of my favorites from the WTF is happening? genre.
Guys think they own this movie but we all need a little project mayhem.
It takes all kinds of critters to make ‘em.
One favorite childhood memory is more random than most: A group of friends and I snuck into the movies with borrowed older siblings to watch Motel Hell. Likely one of the campiest and crappiest horror movies ever made, it featured crazies cooking-up unsuspecting travelers as sausage. As a kid, the best part was how the victims were kept buried in the garden all veggie-like to be fed in preparation. I also loved the old guy riding a rickety bicycle around town yelling “we’re doomed, we’re doomed.”
Most of us hadn’t even hit our teens yet, so the movie was likely far more adult and interesting to us than the producers ever intended. But the fun memories of the night certainly stuck – which may have included my first cigarette, by the way.
A neat side effect of moving are the random memories generated by packing/unpacking. Not sure what exactly sparked this one, probably a combination of the move and the crap I’ve had playing in the background from FEARnet.

- My name is Suzie and I love Supernatural on the CW. (Hi Suzie.)
- The fourth season premiere was the best episode to date
- Love that they’ve introduced the "other side" of the equation
- Thank you iTunes – my hotel doesn’t carry the CW and I’m DVR-less
- Saw the opening at Comic-Con but don’t remember the trees at the grave site
- Castiel. Yum.
- The title of the episode, Lazarus Rising, made the plot kinda obvious, but I forgive
- Has a character said mofo on a network channel before?
- And for a non-Supernatural supernatural note, I’m currently watching The Gift on TNT, so now I’m running behind. Bah. But it’s really good – how did I miss this movie?
I love checking out the new shows of Fall TV, even if most don’t make it to a third viewing from me. This year’s most promising include Fringe, My Own Worst Enemy, The Mentalist, True Blood and Eleventh Hour. After two eps I’m fading away from Blood, but Fringe remains interesting after its 2-hour premiere.
But please know this: Living in Denver makes scheduled TV viewing a nightmare. Network shows broadcast in Central Time (read: they start at 7pm); pay channels, including HBO, broadcast the West versions; and the national channels like TNT, TBS and USA, broadcast in Eastern Time.
The DVR was clearly invented by someone living in the unholy wasteland of Mountain Time.
… I picked up a Jason Voorhees plush at Comic-Con. 
Isn’t he cute? Uh-huh. I grew up with his hammy movies and admittedly look forward to his Freddy-free 2009 reincarnation… but I’ll have my eyes covered.

Particle board is possibly the geekiest-cool material known to man. Seriously. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are a step closer to developing metamaterials that could render people invisible. Invisible!
Hm. Just to the human eye, or all seeing creatures? The article omitted this important detail. Invisibility is awesome but not reliable if you have a line dogs tailing you. Wait – won’t they smell you and chase you anyway? And what happens if you get caught in the rain – do you make a clear outline like Kevin Bacon did in the trashy Hollow Man? Then there’s the inevitable wearing off, where you wind up naked in a crowded room. Plus the invisible man always winds up mad. Like a hatter. Have Zhang and company taken all this into account?
They probably watch far less B movies than I do.
Blog blogging is a cheap excuse to avoid original writing. Hey, I’m busy. But at least I’m not cheesy on the outside like some people.
A murder would be nice, of course… but don’t let him make you his mare.
In a word, awesome.
Act 1 of Doctor Horrible’s blog is out today, July 15.
