See! That's what I'm talkin' about.

"Don't tase me bro!!!"
Sooo, yeah. The new Thor trailer. There's a Facebook reference, and some ogling, and some hammer throwing at the very very end. Oh and a taser. The god of MFing thunder gets tased. Judging by Thor's attire after he arrives on Earth, I'm guessing they get good clearance sales on cheap t-shirts in the magical kingdom of Asgard. At least he'll be comfortable.

Hellbilly Deluxe 2

It's been way too long since I bitched about something. Before we're forced to change the page title to "Unicorns Kick Ass" I thought I'd pass on a gripe or two.

I knew this album was going to suck right after I read the title. Rob Zombie spent the last several years re-making a crappy horror film (sorry kids, was never a Halloween fan) & cranking out a sequel to said film. His last two albums had a few standout tracks but were mostly dancy pop/70s stadium rock. Don't get me wrong, I'm a White Zombie fan and I loved the first Hellbilly, but it's been a long time since Rob Zombie's main focus was playing music.

I have no idea why you would make a sequel to a 12 year old album aside from an attempt to cash in quick or fulfill a record contract. Maybe he really thought songs with titles like "Sick Bubblegum" were just evil enough to fit right in with the first album. Shit, he even took the time to write a song about the fake trailer he did for Grindhouse. Despite the plethora of horror movie samples and sci-fi references Hellbilly Deluxe 2 was boring and lazy and I sold it in less than two weeks.

Frack! R.I.P. Mr. Hughes

Well part of my teenage self died yesterday. His movies helped me get through my teenage years. I'm pretty sure I still know all the words to the Breakfast Club. The first time I ever saw the Breakfast Club was at the old drive-in, in between Midland and Odessa. I couldn't believe what I was seeing on the screen. I was pretty young at the time, but I was fascinated by what I was seeing. Planes, Trains and Automobiles remains my favorite holiday movie. The scene where Steve Martin tries to get his money back from the car rental agency is one of the best moments in cinematic history. Even funnier when my mom tries to do the scene. So many good movies! Shermer, IL will never be the same. Friday's don't usually suck, but this one does.
