Happy Halloween
Here some Halloween night suggestions.
Nosferatu 1922. Possible the first horror movie ever. Staring Max Shereck. Black and white silent movie.
Dracula 1931. Starring Bela Lugosi. This is the classic vampire film and a must see.
Halloween 1978. The first slasher film which is more a thriller than a horror film. Staring Jamie Lee Curtis.

Vincent
Instead of one film lets try a group of film staring one man... Vincent Price.
From 1960 to 1965 he stared in a series of films by Roger Corman based on Edgar Allen Poe stories.
The House of Usher 1960, The Pit and The Pendulum 1961, Tales of Terror 1962, The Comedy of Terrors 1963, The Raven 1963, The Masque of The Red Death 1964, and The Tomb of Ligeia 1965.
Prices unique voice and tall imposing form where perfect for horror films. Price was noted as a man with a taste for the fine arts and to be an excellent cook.
Price is also noted for starting a food fight on the set of the Batman series. He was guest starring as Egghead.

Abby Someone
The movie for the night is a light hearted tribute to all the old black and white horror films of yesteryear.
Young Frankenstein 1974.
This movie was written by none other than Mel Brooks. It star Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein. The movie is packed with guest stars such as Terri Gar, Peter Boyle, Madeline Kahn, Gene Hackman but the film is stolen by Marty Feldman. Feldman plays a hunchback who knows its a movie and plays to the camera. He also has a hunch that seems to switch sides.
Much of the sets and props used in the film where actually used in older films.
Pop the corn and prepare to laugh, it's movie time.

Gargoyles
Another Halloween movie.
Gargoyles 1972.
This was a made for TV movie features great make up by Stan Winston who work can be seen in Jurassic Park, Aliens, and Predators movies.
A father daughter team investigate weird sights and sounds to discover a colony of real life gargoyles.
The true star beside Winston's great creature design is a memorable performance by Bernie Casey.
The plot is thinner than an onion skin but the make up and Casey's acting make this a good popcorn muncher of a movie.

Beware The Tall Man
Here my Halloween movie of the day.
Phantasm. A tall man and his army of evil zombie dwarfs are looking to rule the world. The tall man has other toys in the form of flying silver sphere that only want to drill a hole in your head.
Phantasm was made in 1977 and stared Angus Scrimm as "The Tall Man" Based on a nightmare Don Coscarellia who wrote, produced, directed, and edited the film. A pair of brothers investigate a rash of unexplained deaths they believe to be caused by the mortician they call "The Tall Man." The Tall Man played by the 6 foot 6 inch Scrimm is from another planet and is out to kill this small town as part of his plan in world domination.
So pop some corn and turn of the lights it's movie time.

There Are No Stop Lights In Hell
There is nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, and no stopping THE CAR!
One of the movies I recommended is The Car.
The car is one of those it so bad it's good movies. Made in 1977 and featured James Brolin, Ronnie Cox, and R. G. Armstrong. However the true star is The Car.
Evil personified and hell on wheels literally.
The Car was made by George Barris (The TV Batmobile) It was in fact a 1971 Lincoln Mark 3 with a 455 cubic inch engine. The car was lowered and had a double glazed windshield.
Stunt driver Everett Creach had done stunts in 900 films and served as second unit director on 33 others.
The film even as Church of Satan leader Anton LaVey as a technical advicer.
This is a must see popcorn mucher of a bad movie.

A Tall Story
I have been playing Fable 2.
This is a role playing game that puts you in the boots of a young hero. You travel the world doing great deeds and fighting evil. Or you can turn to the dark side and steals from shop keepers, farmers, and even commit murder. The game allows you to develop the main character in the direction you desire. You explore the country side. There are jobs for earning gold and even gamblers to lose your gold to.
This is not the open world of Morrowind. You are on a path and you must follow it. But that is far overshadowed by the way the game allows you to grow.
Another point of the game is the dog. You find a forgotten mut that becomes your best friend and constant companion. You can train your new friend to perform the usual canine tricks such as sit, roll over and beg. The dog can also locate treasure, and help you in fights. You will also learn the use of magic.
The game lay is great fun. The game is very British and shows in its Python style scene of humor.
The graphics are very well done.
The controls have a small learning curve but will be easy to use after awhile.
The audio is the only down side to this game. The sound is murky, muddy. The is a lot of mid raneg but very little high ends or bass to this game.
I give Fable 2 a high 4 out of 5.

McCain Meets The Monster He Made
Presidential candidate John McCain has run afoul of the monster he and others have made.
The McCain team are upset that an interview of McCain by Kattie Couric of CBS was taken off YouTube after CBS demanded it removal.
YouTube removed the clip in accordance of DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) that McCain surported.
Enter the EFF. The EFF (Electronic Frontire Foundation) The EFF has told both CBS and YouTube that the clip was part of the "Fair Use" under copyright law. YouTube reply was simple we dont care. They are just following the DMCA.
Maybe and this is a big maybe McCain and others will take a second look at the DMCA.

Some People Can't Keep A Secret
Well the loud mouths at business week have announced that my home town is a great place to ride out a recession.
I'm sure that true if you rich to begin with. There are people here who are living from one check to another. People are losing their jobs and their homes to this recession.
Bussinessweek.com listed Corpus Christi Texas as one of the top 20 US cities in which one could live during a recession.
"Corpus Christi ... could do relatively well in a downturn as long as energy prices stay high and it isn't hit by Ike-like hurricanes,"
The article also noted are diversified economy.
The secret is out. I you love wind, mosquitoes, heat, seawater, rust, and seagulls you'll love my home town.

Love For Da Hood
I have been engrossed in Saints Row 2.
This game is over the top. Way over the top. Way way over the top. Way way way... you get my point.
Despite the game habit of freezing. The game play makes up for it. There is plenty to do. You can drive tow trucks, ambulances, and firetrucks. There are a ton for you cars to collect. The side missions are plentiful. The main story involves you taking back the streets from an evil major corporation. You learn the fighting styles and mannerisms of the opposing gangs.
The create a character system is mush like the one you find in the WWE Smackdown series. You can change your voice, walking style, fighting style, and dress.
There is download content in the works.
All in all this is a must rent game.

Cowboys Lose
Dallas Cowboys 14
Saint Louis Rams 34
Ever have one of those days where almost everything goes wrong. That is what happened to day for the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys started the game with a clear lead of 7 points but once the Rams had the lead they kept it.
There was talk of putting an injured Tony Romo in the game but why ruin a season for the sake of a single victory. Hopefully this lose will spark the Cowboys to better things next game.
Get well soon Tony.
Go Cowboys.

Arrows Away
Last night there was a new episode of my favorite show The Mythbusters.
This time they took on Ninjas. Can a Ninja catch an arrow out of mid flight.
Yes. With condition. The arrows can not be moving at full speed.
Can a Ninja fire a killer dart through a blow gun while hiding under water. Yes.
Another great show from Jamie and Adam.

Blood On The Bricks
I got Saints Row 2. This is not a GTA killer. However it is a good game.
It should be noted this is an adult game featuring violence and strong language.
The graphics are bright and clear, Everything is easy to read. The audio is well done and can be clearly heard.
The cloths you wear are very customizable. You pick the colors.
You pick up weapons simply by walking over them. Changing weapons is easy. Fighting is easy using the triggers. Driving is odd. The gas and brakes are buttons not triggers. The cars are a little sloppy to response.
The game did freeze on me after 45 minutes of play.
I give it a 3 out of 5.

Please Remain Clam
Please remain calm.
Bungie has announced a new Halo game.
Halo 3 Recon places you in the boots of someone other than the Master Chief.
The game takes place at the same time as Halo 3 but this time you play as a Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. You find yourself alone in a city entirely under alien control.
The game will be here late next year.
Don't Panic
The news vultures are circling.
The media could not be happier with the current economic down turn.
There is nothing better to them than something scary that they can make down right apocalyptic.
The world according to them doom and gloom patrol (major media) is racing towards a depression. Even if the facts say other wise.
The thing they live for is to make a bad situation worse, inflating the bad news until it is a spirit crushing disaster. Other peoples hardships are gravy to them and when something bad happens to them they will try desperately to make themselves mortars. They will wrap theme selves in tears and beg for your sympathy.
Not scene 911 has the news outlets had something they could be multi orgasmic over.
In my view most reports are bottom feeders, praying on the misery and heartbreak of others. These people (and I lose the term loosely) are soulless, unscrupulousness, vampires, feeding off people who have found themselves victimizes by the greed and lust for money of others. They give no thought to how the reports they fie will effect there viewers. There is no effort put towards showing a solution or demonstrating ways to handle hard times.
My advice (Not That You Asked) is ignore the oracles of fear.

Cool Front
Another cool front passed through today. It was hard to tell as the temperature was in the nighties. However the weathermen are promising it will get cooler the next few day and our first true cool front of the season will hit next week. That cool front that may be here next Tuesday may gives a high temperatures in the 70. I for one welcome that.

They start on the far end of the front of the house race across the bedrooms and then race across the back of the house and again towards the front of the house. Usually two laps per race.

OK Now What
Well the economic package has passed wooden arrows and all.
Actually the economic bill was attached to the wooden arrow bill.
And of course as with all bills tons of pork has been attached to the bill which means it's politics and greed as usual. No lesson have been learned. No thought to how this mess has effected the people in this nation who are living one day to the next. No thought on how this mess has effected the lives of people living in poorer regions of the world. How much medical aid will be slashed to pay for this? How much food aid will be cut to the starving in Africa and elsewhere? More over the shear fact some child will go to bed hungry it our very borders is unforgivable.
What was done by these banker in my view was treasonous. They endangered the economic health of the United States to line their own pockets. They put themselves before this country and that is treason. I think this people should be tried for treason as well as fraud and other gambits of crimes committed here. And if found guilty they should be punished as any other person guilty of treason is.
Death.

It Could Have Been Us
88 city workers in Robstown Texas gave up their employee bonus to buy 500 care packages for hurricane Ike victims.
Worker Robert Alameda said"What if it had been us? I think they would have done something to help us. I think what we did was something from our hearts."
The worker gave up safety bonuses to give Ike's victims a six pack cooler holding pen, paper, wipes, snacks, and drink packets.
Texas baby.

Upsetting.
No Mythbusters last night.
They where replaced by some show about the mob. The mob does not exists but Jamie and Adam do.
I want my Mythbusters, to hell with MTV.
And what has happened to Buster?
I personally think he has gone into retirement on some hidden tropical island surrounded by beautiful native girls. He sipping drinks with little umbrellas in them and and watching clips of Adam self-infilting some wound or the other.
Tropical Update
Nothing!

Stomach: Very happy thank you.

Shut Up And Dance
"It seems to me that the folks who create and publish a game shouldn't stop receiving income from further sales." That's the word from Bungie audio director Marty O'Donnell.
I guess O'Donnell feels that he should get money when I trade an old game in.
Then why don't car companies get more money when you trade a car in for a newer model?
Should movie and television producers get money if I trade in a DVD of a show or movie for a new DVD?
What about used book sales?
Do the Dallas Cowboys get some money off the old cowboy t-shirt I bought at a garage sale?
Also, if your game so good why are people trading it in?
Personally, I was going to hang onto all my Halo disks forever but with comments like this I just might trade them in out of shear spite.
This is why audio guys get paid to listen and not talk. Marty, do yourself a favor.
Shut up and dance.
