Tonight I found out my literal favorite band in the universe put out an album in ’99 as a side project by the name of Retina — they called it a ‘satellite unit created by the IMPOSSIBLE RECORDING MACHINE’, years before they would release two gorgeous discs under the latter name. The album was called Batterie, and one of the songs the tracklist was an absolute banger called Ether. This song also appeared on the Blade film soundtrack the year prior, credited to Siren. The album is virtually nowhere online.

However, here is a youtube upload of the ’98 Blade release of Ether by Matt Walker, Jim Dinou, Scott Tallarida and Solomon Snyder of Retina, later to become the Matt and Jim duo known as Impossible Recording Machine.

Ok this is either genius or idiotic - Mr Davidson from CCRP as the creepy principal. Either him or Solomon Lauter. Who do you think is the better choice?

Mr Davidson is such a good pick for Snyder, Solomon Lauter is the Mayor from season 3!

Batman vs Superman?

Consider It A Challenge || Accepting

As far as questions go, this is one of those universal ones endlessly debated in comic shops, after movie premieres, and the entire basis of ruthless internet assassinations. The problem is that she doesn't really understand why. She knows what it is like being a billionaire with moral quandaries. There is a reason why she chose to become a Gardener. And perhaps seeing Batman's actions only highlight the doubts that come to stalk her in the darkest of hours, whether she is truly doing the right thing and how, every time she must prune a branch or pull up a weed, she makes mockery of her oath to do no harm. She is not an angel reaching for an ascension that might never come, but she doesn't think she is a devil, either. Father Vinnie would tell her if she were straying from her path, wouldn't he? Like, it's right there in his job description, being a shepherd of the Church, speaking with the authority of the Divine. As for Superman? Well, she's always made that comparison to Andy. The eternal Boy Scout, the protector and rescuer, bigger and better and stronger and faster than anyone else. But he's also not human. Can never be. There are times in those coloured pages that sometimes talk about what happens when he gets fed up. When through treachery or dismay, he turns. Then what becomes of those who look to him for mercy and protection? Maybe Lex Luthor isn't so crazy after all, a necessary evil that she can too easily also empathise with. She hates the one Justice League movie or whatever because the entire premise was built on the back on an idiot plot. Snyder should be ashamed of himself making two heroes fight to the death because they couldn't have a reasonable five minute conversation, and none of their friends seemed to be in on it either. Their agencies as people and as heroes was robbed of them. Plus Jessie Eisenberg? Now THAT is a joke. But maybe she's looking at it the wrong way. Maybe it has nothing to do with a battle of supremacy between DC's flagship heroes. Maybe the question is just which one she likes best. And the answer is simply...neither. Oh she loves Martian Man Hunter. And Constantine. She loves Barry Allen and Hal Jordan. There's Doctor Mid-Nite and Rorschach, Raven and Beast Boy, Dr Manhattan. Solomon Grundy and Gorilla Grodd. Jonah Hex and the Phantom Stranger. There's the Endless, whom she loves one and all. But really? Deep down in her heart of hearts, there's only two superheroes that she can truly love, support, and may have written fanfiction about. "Neiddah. My heart is torn between my two bes' ali'i. King of Atlantis- Aquaman aka Art'ur Curry... an' my truest love in comics, King Shark. Our god-prince, Nanaue."

In 1959, an alien experiment crashes to earth and infects a fraternity member. They freeze the body, but in the modern day, two geeks pledging a fraternity accidentally thaw the corpse, which proceeds to infect the campus with parasites that transform their hosts into killer zombies.

A homicide, or a bad B-movie? Not exactly what you would call an unknown horror comedy, but there is the distinct feeling that it should be better known. As its cult fan base will attest, this is blast of a movie, a homage to the “B” schlockers of lore. Directed by Fred Dekker, the premise sees some alien beings eject a flask of alien slugs down to earth, which lands at a fraternity campus, something which cause mayhem some years later when a frozen body is disturbed at the medical lab and the slugs are unleashed. Cue infestation that turns people into zombies! The pic plays up to the clichés of fraternity based movies, with nerds and nudity on tap, all smothered in a gooey horror comedy sauce. One-liners are ripe, the characterisations also, the latter of which fronted by a glorious Tom Atkins as a hard drinking hard – boiled detective with issues and quips ready to be poured out. It’s not genius film making, but given the low budget it deserves its cult status, because it never pauses for breath and it’s very aware of what it wants to be – and crucially who its target audience is. 7/10 Dsnake1: Night of the Creeps is a fantastic movie to watch in many different situations: with friends, at a sleepover, in the middle of the night, in the middle of the day, and so many more. It’s an easy to watch flick, and it contains the right balance of horror elements, gore, campiness, humor, and absurdity to make each viewing as enjoyable as the last. It’s got a touch of body-stealing aliens, a touch of zombies, a touch of traditional serial killer, all mixed with all the fun that can come fro...

A bit from the next chapter of In the Company of Witches and Slayers:

Tara had tilted her head at Willow's choice of costume and her logic, and shrugged. Xander and Buffy were kvetching, a word she'd picked up from Willow, very, very loudly. Yes, Snyder was an odious little shit who at times reminded her a little too much of her big brother. That was all true. And yet....

"You know, I think Will's right."

"Shocker," Xander muttered under his breath as she casually flipped him the bird.

"This is something we have to do, yeah, but I'm going to have fun with it."

She held up a costume that looked like something out of the 17th Century. The shop-owner briefly coughed and looked for a moment like he wanted to reconsider things and then shrugged.

"What is that supposed to be?"

"Solomon Kane, Witch Hunter!"

"Who?"

"From Robert E. Howard. Guy who created Conan. C'mon, what's funnier than a Wicca being a Witch Hunter for Halloween?"

The shop owner coughed again and she turned to look at him.

"You OK there, man?"

He grumbled.

"Yes, yes, all well and good."

"OK."

Xander just looked at it.

"I swear sometimes you're like having two Wills for the price of one." Both Willow and Tara glared at him while Buffy just shook her head.

Alan Scott in Green Lantern: Brightest Day, Blackest Night (2002) #1

(Steven T. Seagle, John K. Snyder III)

[burningexeter]

Let's give this show more attention, shall we?

Here's a damn solid amount of all the different kinds of media that I like to think both can definitely fit well in and could legitimately share the same universe as what is in my opinion the best children's horror anthology series of all time and one of the best horror anthologies ever made in general, R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series, which you can both read and see below for yourself right about here:

First off, here's what I mean by including the show, in my mind every episode of the entire series (at least most of them which we'll immediately get to) are all set in the same universe as each other since none of them over-step each other. However, not all of them will be for the fact that they don't fit and they suck hard in terms of quality and I've narrowed it down to five exceptions with the following reasons.....

- Red Eye, because it never lives up to its potential and has a cartoonishly written bad mother who never gets her comeuppance.

- The fucking cheese puff one, because the episode is all around trash and everyone hates this one even the creators/showrunners themselves.

- The G rated Critters rip-off, because like I said it's a shitty Critters rip-off and also has an abusive asshole father who never gets his comeuppance at all somehow.

- Mrs. Worthington, because even though it has a great performance from Margot Kidder, it never lives up to its great premise and again has an asshole mother who never gets her comeuppance.

- The leprechaun one, because it's just plain ass and AGAIN has an asshole adult (in this case, grandfather) that never gets his comeuppance.

Other than those shitty five, every. single. episode. are all set in the same universe. All of them are in the same twisted world — the Lilly D. trilogy, Scary Mary, Flight, Dreamcatcher, Creature Feature, Swarmin' Norman, the Pumpkinhead duology, Long Live Rock and Roll (AKA Doom Metal) and so on, so forth.

Also, I'm making a big deal out of the adult assholes that never get what's coming to them in a HORROR ANTHOLOGY SHOW is because in this universe we're talking about, everything is fair. Doesn't matter how old you are, your gender, your race, if you're a bad person than you end up getting what you deserve.

Second, now for the actual shared universe —

• Michael Dougherty's Trick r Treat & Krampus

• Mark Waters' The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)

• Stephen Sommers' The Mummy (1999) & The Mummy Returns (2001)

• Steven Spielberg's Indiana Jones Series (1 - 4)

"Quantity of Food Taken By Thieves," Hamilton Spectator. March 29, 1943. Page 7. ---- Stolen Car Abandoned After Load Is Removed-Several Vehicles Recovered ---- A total of six automobiles were stolen in Hamilton on Saturday, but all but two have been recovered. The most unusual theft occurred on Sunday afternoon, Solomon Snyder, of Kitchener, while visiting friends here, put his car in a public garage to be repaired. Later in the day a stranger entered the garage, demanded the Kitchener car, paid a $2 repair bill and drove away. When Mr. Snyder returned for the machine it was gone and police are now searching for it.

Rozi Doucette, 388 Tragina avenue, reported that his car was stolen from Hughson street north, near Cannon, on Saturday afternoon. It is still missing.

William Lamont, of Ancaster, informed the police his car was stolen while parked on Central market. It was recovered yesterday near Burlington, but nine dozen of eggs and two pounds of butter from the rear seat were stolen.

Elmer Muha, 181 Jackson street west; Sergt. William Daines, of the Army Trades School, and John Luzanyen, 503 Kenilworth avenue north, also reported their cars stolen, but they were recovered within a few hours.

Mission Impossible (6 spillefilm)

4½ ud af 5 umulige opgaver

For at være klar til film nummer syv, der kommer til sommer, brugte jeg et par dage på at gense de seks første film. Og jeg var behageligt overrasket. Faktisk mere, end da jeg så dem første gang. Det er (i modsætning til Bond-serien med Craig) velkomponerede historier uden idiotiske plothuller, alle centreret om en eller anden kompliceret mission, som det altid lykkes Ethan Hunt og kompagni at gennemføre på et hængende hår.

1: Brian de Palmas udgave er lidt gammeldags i stilen, men holder stort set stadig. Den umulige opgave her er at stjæle data fra CIA's hovedkvarter i Langley. Vi får den ikoniske scene (tyvstjålet fra "Topkapi") med Tom Cruise hængende i tynde wirer over et trykfølsomt gulv. En scene, der visuelt refereres til i næsten hver eneste af de følgende film. 2: John Wus udgave skæmmes (i hvert fald for mig) af de mange John Wu-manerer, der er mindst lige så irriterende som Guy Ritchies. Jeg hadede den første gang, men synes faktisk nu, at den er okay, især på grund af den purunge og pivlækre Thandie Newton, der giver actionfilmen et romantisk løft. I film #1 går Cruise formentlig i seng med Emmanuelle Béart, men det antydes kun. Her er der ingen tvivl. Ethan får sin Bond-babe, men det er så også sidste gang, man spilder tid på lir i denne serie. Den umulige opgave er at stjæle en dræbende virus fra et svært bevogtet højhus samt at narre overskurken (Dougray Scott) til sidst. Nok den svageste af filmene, men altså nogenlunde okay. 3: I J.J. Abrams' udgave bortføres og fanges den farlige våbenhandler Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman) af Ethans team, men slipper fra dem og hævner sig ved at bortføre Ethans forlovede Julia. Den umulige opgave er bortførelsen af Davian fra Vatikanet ved højlys dag. Og en ekstra mission er at få fat i filmens macguffin (kaldet The Rabbit's Foot) i Shanghai. Alt ender godt (for denne gang). Vi får også omsider et tiltrængt indblik i, hvordan teamet laver de masker (og stemmeforvrængere), de så ofte snyder modstanderne med. 4: I Brad Birds udgave (min personlige favorit) er der flere umulige opgaver: Man skal infiltrere Kreml og bagefter arrangere et kompliceret dobbeltmøde mellem to skurke i verdens højeste bygning i Dubai. Begge gange går alting naturligvis galt. Det hele ender i Indien, hvor man også kommer i kapløb med tiden for at forhindre et atommissil i at ramme San Francisco. Teamet suppleres med en ny fast person, Brandt (spillet af Jeremy Renner). Vi får at vide, at Julia er blevet skilt fra Ethan og er gået under jorden for ikke at kunne blive brugt imod ham igen. 5: Christopher McQuarrie (manden der skrev "The Usual Suspects") overtager instruktørstolen, og dér bliver han siddende i hvert fald de næste fire film. Denne gang er Ethans team oppe mod en hemmelig forbryderorganisation kaldet The Syndicate, ledet af den tidligere MI6-agent Solomon Lane (Sean Harris). Den umulige mission er at kidnappe den engelske premierminister, fordi kun hans stemme kan åbne en krypteret besked. I filmen møder vi også dobbeltagenten Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), som fra nu af bliver seriens leading lady (dog uden at hoppe i kassen med Ethan, i hvert fald ikke endnu).

6: McQuarrie er på igen som instruktør, og nu er der for alvor gået gået serie i serien. Som sagt er Ilsa med igen, og Julia dukker også op med ny ægtemand, så vejen formentlig er banet for et mere romantisk forhold mellem Ethan og Ilsa i næste film. Vi får se. Også Sean Harris er tilbage, og denne gang har han fået fingre i to atombomber, som er teknisk forbundet, så ingen af dem kan neutraliseres uden at aktivere den anden. I et vanvittigt kapløb med tiden lykkes det alligevel Ethans team at knække nødden. Spillets joker er Henry Cavill som CIA-agent.

Man kan mene om scientologen Tom Cruise, hvad man vil, men han er perfekt i rollen som Ethan Hunt, hvor han også selv laver mange halsbrækkende stunts. Især starten på 5'eren, hvor han hænger på siden af et fly, er imponerende. Jeg ser frem til den næste film, som kun er første del af to. Den eneste anden person, som har været med i alle filmene, er Ving Rhames som Luther. Faste teammedlemmer (nu) er også Simon Pegg som Benji og Rebecca Ferguson som Ilsa. Renner er tilsyneladende ikke med længere.
