Really they crammed way to much shit in there with the Justice League stuff and the movie suffered for it :P. Really introducing Batman would have been more then enough. Wonder Woman really felt crammed in her appearences were brief and for the most part didn't really serve much purpose to the plot it was pretty much pure fan service. The lazy teasers the crammed in at the end for the rest of the Justice League were pretty shitty as well as that one dream sequence that was really really forced.

FINALLY SAW IT!!!!!!!!!!

And it was AMAZING!!!

I rented it from Xbox's video service, Microsoft Movies & TV.

Much like the first, Aesop's fables are worked into the overall story, where the fables parallel what we see.

It's mostly a prequel, focusing on Heaven, which here takes the form of a 1930s' Hollywood-inspired world (described by the creators as "Clark Gable on acid"), but behind the art deco-decked glitz and glamour of Heaven, the true nature of Heaven is anything but.

In the present, Lucifer (played by Terrance Zdunich, who previously played the Grave Robber in REPO! The Genetic Opera) is sending trains full of condemned souls to Heaven and preparing to wage war with Heaven and begins to tell the story of "The Filly and the Lapdog" to a cloaked figure, though the story parallels events in the past.

New numbers, returning cast members (Skinny Puppy's Nivek Ogre as The Twin, Terrance Zdunich as Lucifer, Dayton Callie as The Ticket Taker, Marc Senter as The Scorpion, Emilie Autumn as The Painted Doll, and Paul Sorvino as God) joined by new cast members (Jesus Christ Superstar's Ted Neely, Rocky Horror's Barry Bostwick, RENT's Adam Pascal, David "The Hoff" Hasselhoff, Heroes' Brea Grant, Butcher Babies' frontwomen Heidi Shepard and Carla Harvey, Mindless Self Indulgence's frontman Jimmy Urine, Morningwood's Chantel Claret and rapper Tech N9ne) and a setup for another entry, I hope you don't miss this.

Those dude have dongs. Dongs counter-balance thighs.

Speaking of dongs...

I love this movie and I love to make fun of David Bowie's pants. Has anyone seen this on Blu-Ray? Did they do a new film transfer or anything or is it very very SD?

And Now for Something Completely Different (1971)

My dad picked this DVD up for me at a yard sale on Saturday, and I gave it a watch for the first time in years. It's such an entertaining variation of the TV sketches.

It's getting to be mid-July.

Screw it, time to start prepping for my October horror marathon. This year the theme is "monsters." This means vampires, werewolves, killer robots, aliens, sasquatch, demons, etc. This also means no to serial killer types, and I'm debating on whether ghosts get counted.

Anyway, I've got some films sitting around at home, such as Troll, Troll 2, and the Puppet Master series. I also just submitted a few Amazon orders for the likes of Ghoulies 1, 2, and 3, C.H.U.D. 2, Chopping Mall, and a bunch of werewolf movies such as Wolfen, Bad Moon, The Howling II, and Late Phases. Some of these are in collections with other movies, though I'm not sure if they'd be considered "monster" movies. Would you consider these to contain "monsters" like those I previously mentioned:

976-Evil 2
Body Snatchers
The Unholy
Waxwork
Class of 1999
Slaughter High

Any thoughts?

sure.

(976 II is pretty classic 90s Wynorski, btw. Good pick.)
Waxwork
This is a must! I was going to recommend it.
Class of 1999
Slaughter High
Feels shoe-horned. You can do better.

And ghost movies could be an entire 31 night calendar of their own.

Ha, they actually were. They're both in a collection that included Waxworks, CHUD 2, Ghoulies 3, and Chopping Mall. I consider them bonus material.

Yeah, ghosts would be an awesome theme for someone to focus on. I'd tell you to do it, but I'm pretty sure your wife has already made you see many of the best haunted house movies.
