WEEKLY ROUND-UP! 10/30- 11/5 2011

WEEKLY ROUND-UP:

LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD WEEK

RED HOT RIDING HOOD

7. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/3/11 Blasphemy, Sacrilege.

Jesus seriously needs a redesign. Or I am just a terrible person. Either way, this is for people who have a good sense of humor. Enjoy.

6. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/30/11. Tatterdemalion, Ragamuffin.

I had a lot of fun taking the Tragedy Series and coming up with words of the day that matched it but this one was probably my favorite.

5. WORD OF THE DAY! 11/5/11. san sukumi ken 

One of my favorite components to Naruto is the clever us of Japanese mythology, culture and kabuki to create dramatic tensions, symbolism and motifs. Naruto is a terribly unappreciated anime, in my humble opinion, and I think more people should give it a chance. I am gonna make some enemies here BUT 1. Bleach sucks and 2. Neon Genesis: Evangelion is pretentious and annoying.

4. MUSICAL MONDAY! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON HALLOWEEN

 Tim Curry is incredible and this soon-not-to-be-forgotten gem is quickly gaining speed as on the campiest but enjoyable performance that could ever be rung out of a terrible piece of child fodder.

3.NERD CULTURE SMACKDOWN #7 WHO-LLOWEEN Pt.4 THE SILENCE

All things must come to an end at some juncture and, just as I finished the 6th Season of Doctor Who, I also wrote a nifty little send-off to the season's big bad. The Silence were also my final induction into the scariest monsters of Doctor Who for Who-lloween. I really enjoyed writing the articles for this theme and hope to repeat the fun with another event for another season. Suggestions?

2. Word of the Day! 10/31/11. Lusus Naturae 

Red Riding Hood has always been a story that rattles around in my head. Perhaps, for Halloween I should've dressed as the Huntsman? I really like the variety of ways that these old fairy tales can be depicted.

1. SCI-FI FANTASY FRIDAY! ACTION SOCIETY #8 LUCIUS

I don't know how I totally feel about this last chapter I wrote the night before Halloween. I think I wanted to tell a story and maybe it wasn't best to put this in Lucius's perspective. BUT, I am rather proud of the story my brain pooped out and would love some opinions.

 

MUSICAL MONDAY! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON HALLOWEEN!

MUSICAL MONDAY!

THE WORST WITCH- ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN ON HALLOWEEN!

Tim Curry has a super power. The campiest garbage that film and television has to offer can be saved by Tim Curry's smarmy charisma and fabulous phantasmagoria. From Stephen King's It to Fern Gully, a performance from the kitschy king of camp has saved a cornucopia of corniness from falling into the filthy annuls of nostalgia rather than floating in the cotton candy clouds of cult classic cinema.He is creepy, crawly and completely captivating.

Jilly Murphy's The Worst Witch book series is a predecessor to Harry Potter, even more so than Kimba: The White Lion is a predecessor to Disney The Lion King. It has been made into several spin-off series, a TV series, and, as of this year, the TERRIBLE 1986 MADE FOR TV FILM adaptation has achieved cult classic status just based on the merits of the the video linked above. Check it out and put Halloween behind us.
