The new generation of horror movies seem to be taking their cue from their fiendish friends of the 80’s.
Perhaps “Saw’s” Billy the Puppet conjours up creepy feelings not felt since Chucky’s first outing. The sex/violence formula of the “Hostel” films calls back to, well any of the Friday the 13th series.

However, i will be making a trip to japan in the not too distant future and if your still around, it would be good to link you (how long are you staying in japan for by the way?)
Also, you mentioned on your profile that "they live " is one of your favourites. I finally got round to seeing it- its a classic! its a smart film with a great, very poigniant, thought provoking concept . Also, that roddy piper vs keith david fight is the stuff of legends lol.
Yeah, I've got Irish blood running through me a lot. My Grandfather and Grandmother were actually born in Ireland before coming to the states as children. My dad's dad was also conceived in Ireland but born in America. Only my Dad's mother isn't Irish, but she is Scottish. I've got so much Irish blood in me, that I'm around 75%-80% Irish blood, just born in America. lol
Soon as I can see it, I'll let you know. Might not make it into a "blog" as I'm focusing mostly on the television series and not the whole history of Doctor Who, but I'll tell you this much. I'm working on the companions now, and get over 90 pages of info to condense to a more manageable format. lol
3 years?..really?....it must be interesting to have that kind of experience....to live somewhere different...learn about another culture....was that always a dream of yours?
Grumpy Sensei?..that's so cute..LOL....sunburn is never good....LOL..I had a bad time with it on 4th of July..the day was overcast..I should have known better...BUT..sadly I did not..LOL..I actually burned my scalp!..ouch...
But that sounds like a fun place..=D
Mom's still visiting?...=D..it can be tiring trying to entertain family & friends, especially with a sunburn....2 years is a long time..=(..so any plans to go back home or do you plan on staying there indefinitely?
You are a teacher, right?....

I wouldn't bother with Wolverine..I am not a comics person, but I love Wolverine..=D, so I went to see it..but it was disappointing...I mean it is ok..better than most..but you will survive not seeing it... LOL.....
That seems ridiculous that you have to wait, so long to see a movie....=(
My Summer has been pretty good..I am not a big fan of the heat either..luckliy for the first time in years, we didn't need to have the air on much...lalley the weather has been so ideal...hoping this means we are getting an Indian Summer...
Right now I am on a short term disability, since I had surgery on my left foot...needed to have the bone shaved down...I had these fissures that were getting tangled up in the nerve & it was causing pain that I couldn't seem to alleviate in any way...so I have about 4 more weeks, before I go back to work..it is still hurting & swelling up...hopefully I will be able to get a shoe on soon, but I am still wearing one of those boot things....
Just saw 9 yesterday & loved it....good movie....
