Jun. 15th, 2008 12:40 amAlright, first of all, why am I suddenly a moderator of time_machine? I'm getting all these messages asking about membership and WTF? I don't know what it's about or who started it or anything, plus I can barely moderate my own excesses, who has time for other peoples? Is there a way to unmoderatify yourself? Well, since I am a moderator, I declare myself fired. END!
Anyway, apart from that - today I have been mostly watching werewolf movies, starting with Lon Chaney in The Wolfman. It was... old. I'm sorry, I know it's supposed to be a classic, but I just look at it and think, man, that's old. And hoakey. And I want some cake. But on a more positive note, how awesome is Van Helsing? Seriously, I love that movie so much, every time I watch it it's like I fall in love all over again with the cheese and nonsensical plots and Hugh Jackman with leather and sharp objects. I can't believe they made two Underworld movies and that stupid Blade TV series, but VH never got picked up. It is a work of GENIUS, you assholes! I demand Van Helsing: the TV series. In fact, once I successfully sell my script for Moulin Rouge 2: the Zombening! I will fund a VH TV series myself, out of my vast personal fortune that I shall surely make.
Also, An American Werewolf in London and An American Werewolf In Paris are super. And the werewolf makeup is so much better than a lot of later, higher-budget productions. There was a TV series of that, too, but it's not out on DVD, sigh. Still, we had to wait thirteen years for Eerie, Indiana, so I'm not giving up hope just yet. And of course, you have to mention Jack Nicholson in Wolf, for being totally awesome and convincing with just mussed up hair and his own crazyman eyes. And I know I mention this every time, but I shall continue to do so until everyone on my Flist has seen it and been converted to it's awesomeness, but Cursed wins the award for Comedy Werewolf Action of the decade. This decade, I mean. Big Wolf on Campus won it last decade. Not that there's much by way of competition.
After that I watched Heathers. Okay, it's not a werewolf movie, and as far as I know Christian Slater has never been in one, but he should! He's all sexy and feral as JD, think how much more sexy and feral he'd be if he was a version of JD that ate people rather than poisoned or shot them and then faked their suicides. Rock! I think I'll ask him to play a bad enemy werewolf who eventually teams up with Carl and VH to FIGHT CRIME in the Van Helsing TV series. Not Collin Farrell, of course, he'll be the bad enemy werewolf that is bad all the way to the end, and then dies by falling off something, as all good villians should do.
Anyway, all this fun with horror movies got me thinking about Halloween. I've been in kind of a slump this year, what with Alan and Jess being dead* and all, but I was reading the original ending they wrote for Heathers and I have decided that this year I shall have a huge punchbowl filled with liquid Drain-O on the Table of Horrifying and Creepy Snacks. Or, well, some kind of fruit juice dyed blue, as I don't think you can buy Drain-O anymore and the nearest thing you can get to it in colour would probably be Comfort or one of the blue Fairy Liquids, which would probably make everyone very sick. So yay for the revival of my Halloween Spirit!
And that was pretty much my day in a nutshell. Meds are still a delight, it's hard to tell if the eardrops are working or if I'm just completely stoned, but my inner ear doesn't feel all weird and full anymore, which I take to be a good sign. Off to bed for me!
*Okay, they're not dead, they emigrated to New Zealand. Which I think is probably worse, as NZ is full of zombie sheep and roller-blading maniacs.
