Moving Day Massacre

Posted in Ramblings of a mad man with tags on November 5, 2008 by pacinofan

Sorry for the lack of updates this week. I’ve been in the process of moving for the last several days and let me state: moving sucks beyond all comprehension. Seriously, I hate it, hate it with a blinding passion so powerful it frightens Satan himself. With that said, my Hellish  move is almost complete.

For the rest of the week I’m going to try and sort out my massive DVD collection. I’ve had my DVD’s in storage for the past several months, and now that I have them all unpacked, I realize that I have no space for them. I actually had to have a huge shelf custom made for my movies a few years back, but as my collection has grown like John Holmes manhood, the shelf has not. I’m trying to purge some of them (after years of binging) by selling off any non-essential flicks. I’ll use the $$$ to help with moving expenses, X-mas shopping … and a Blu-Ray player. Sensible, I am not.

Anyway, I’ll have some thoughts on a few new DVD’s (Incredible Hulk, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Iron Man) in the next few days.

I also wanted to pass along some sad news in regards to the health of Horror Mega Fan and the Godfather of fandom, Forrest J. Ackerman:

Stay Freaky…

Hellboy as Elvis?

I like Ron Perlman in the Hellboy movies, but to be honest I’ve never been terribly enamored with him in anything else (my having a penis precluded me from ever watching Beauty and the Beast). 

Bubba Ho-Tep is one of my all time faves, and I have faith in Coscarelli to make a kick ass sequel. No matter what, Hollywood A-Lister Paul Giamatti seems 186% behind the project, so that’s cool. Hopefully this won’t turn out the way House of Re-Animator did when it seemed for sure William H. Macy was was going to play the President, only for everything to fall through.    

In  a perfect world, Bruce Campbell would’ve just agreed to do the sequel and it would have already been out by now and made a zillion dollars and we’d be talking about the Elvis battling Werewolves in a third “Bubba” flick.
