The Unexpected always happens

[uberreiniger]

I think it may be time for me to start posting movie reviews again. I haven't been sparing the artillery this Halloween. Last night I watched the entire Omen trilogy on AMC, I plan on seeing The Grudge tomorrow, and today I treated myself to the gratuitous Cary Elwes-fest that is Saw. Would've been more fun if pinkfaeriestars and thanis_bloodsto had been able to join me like they'd originally planned, or if yaqui would've had his phone connected so I could even reach him, but it was still a good time and one hell of a tension-filled flick. I'm full of stuff to say about it, hence, movie post forthcoming.

After the film, I had the amazing good fortune to run into the man who played Renfield in Dracula at Barnes and Noble. Turns out, he's planning to do some directing several months from now and wants me to do original music. Jackpot! We exchanged numbers and he'll probably join Dean, Lesley and I to go see my mom's play next weekend. An interesting coincidence, seeing as how I was walking out the door to B&N, but on a whim, turned around to go see if Adam had gotten a break from working the register. Had I not done that, I would've missed him. Interesting.

With the help of Dean and Lesley, I have my costume fully assembled for massa_jean's Halloween party. As I've mentioned numerous times, I will be appearing as Walter Sullivan, the risen-from-the-grave serial killer from Silent Hill 4. Unfortunately, no one who will be at the party has any fucking clue who that is. So here's a picture. See it, see me, and compare. (If you won't be there, then wait for the photos, then see me and compare.




He's got to commit twenty-one murders in order for God to purge the world of darkness. He has been making slow progress since the eleventh murder, but that's only because the eleventh murder was his own. But having shaken off the worst effects of that, he seems to be ready to get back to work again.

But the best part of getting my costume together was finding an uber-sweet trench coat for eight bucks. Your average trench coat costing roughly a hundred and fifty times that, I was quite pleased. And thanks to Lesley, I got everything else I needed without having to spend another dime. Costumes are even better when they're free :)

The only way the day could've been better would've been if I had gotten a call from a certain someone.

Oh wait! I did! HuzzaH!

Now, back to tales of hauntings...

Could that picture possibly be any more dark???? Anyhoo, so this guy's a serial killer right? I'll be sure to bust your character tonight. Get in a little stick-time if you know what I'm sayin'

If I coulda found a more well-lit picture don't you think I would have? Remember that when I'm tradin' your ass for cigarettes!

Okay, that's just fucking rad.

I was tempted to go for Pyramid Head from SH2, but I have this aversion to loincloths.

I've wanted to do PH for a couple of years now. I just don't know how you'd make the costume and actually be able to *see* out of the thing.

Ooo, I saw Saw.I liked it a lot. :D

It was brilliant, wasn't it? I can't believe how many people are saying negative things about it. I think it's probably the best domestic suspense/horror film I've seen in the last five years.

Most of the criticism I've seen about it involve Elwes' acting in the film. I can't imagine he'd be bad in anything. I even liked him in Kiss the Girls despite that horrid southern drawl his character was using to fool the investigators. Sorry, that may have been a spoiler, but geez, the movie is so old that if someone hasn't seen it by now, they deserve to have it spoiled!

Yeah, I've seen some very harsh criticisms levelled at Elwes for his acting and I just don't get it. I guess he's an actor whom you either love or you hate because I didn't see anything from him in the film that I had a problem with or which seemed fake.
