What like the orgy of blogs, myspace, tv promos, podcasts that was the Hardy/Lita/Edge love triangle? "Vince is Feces!"

John Bolton resigns as ambassador to U.N.
Gary Floyd replied to Lil' Bitch's topic in Current Events
I just never could take the guy seriously, mostly because of his last name. Sure, there's his attitude and policies and whatnot, but I can't get over his last name. -
Give Lohan, Spears and Hilton a name
Gary Floyd replied to Man Who Sold The World's topic in No Holds Barred
Ah yes, another thread ruined because people still pay attention to Leena. -
Just saw the new Bond movie, and it's great. Not the best one ever, but the best in a long time. "Turistas" wasn't that good. What's funny, is that it reminded me of "Hostel" at times, but for the most part, I thought it was like "Zombie Holocaust" aka "Dr Butcher M.D.", only not as campy or enjoyable, and without any cannibals or zombies.

Well, I promised it, so here's my review of Edward Lee's novel Coven. In case you read this shitty excuse for a blog, you probably read my review of Lee's The Bighead and most likely didn't care. Well, it's my blog, so hey... Anywho, Coven is a different beast than Bighead...for the most part. Sure, there's the requisite gore and sex (it's actually gorier than Bighead), as well as rednecks (who aren't psychopathic rapists this time) dark humor, and gross out moments. Unlike Bighead, there are few if any scatalogical moments, and it's much pulpier, and less interested in grossing the reader out, than Bighead. The story deals with Wade St. John, a rich, arrogant college fuck-up who's doing bad in school. So his dad, fed up with this shit, decides to have Wade take summer coarses, and take a job as a toilet scrubber. While this damages Wades rep, he still has his buddies-Tom, a rich Republican who has a thing for really bad jokes, and Jervis (my favorite character), a philosophy fan who's been suicidal and crying rivers since his girlfriend dumped him for a body building German nazi. Oh, and the new campus police officer, a sexy girl named Lydia. Meanwhile, somethings a miss (of course) in this university. Seems like someone with a huge axe has been killing people and abducting women. Oh, and there's some strange women in black, who giggle eat organs. It all involves aliens... ...that's right, aliens. You see, in spite of it's title, Coven is actually a sci-fi/horror story. And it's disgusting and great. There's tons of gore, plenty of sex, alien monstrosities having their way with nubile collge babes (including a scene with a man-sized cockroach-yes, you read that right), some great comedic moments, nearly unstoppable zombies, people being sliced in half, and much, much more. So, is it good? Yes, in fact, I loved this book. Sure, theres some cliches (Wade's relationship with Lydia is a bit convenient, and some of the dialogue is a bit cliched), but this is a blast, and the best book from Lee I've read yet. The characters are great (Jervis in particular, is a laugh riot), some nice music selections (Sixousie and the Banshees? Brian Eno? Right on...), a wonderfully gallows sense of humor, gratuitous sex (hell, this whole book is gratuitious), some excellent gore, zombies, aliens, conspiracies...hell, this about has it all, and I loved it. It's a grat piece of pulp-horror that I couldn't put down. Rating: 9/10 You can get the book here.

312.) Ed Helms singing. He never did that on The Daily Show. -
I'm the only guy here who watches the show, but the most recent episode of "Masters of Horror", called "Pelts", and directed by Dario Argento, is one of the best episodes yet.

For fucks sake... Have I ever mentioned I hate that guy. Out of all the obnoxious pundits out there, he gets on my nerves the most.

I have some bad memories from Chuck E. Cheese, but you'd have to go to my blog to know them. If I ever get married and have kids, I will never go to Chuck E. Cheese, even if they put my nuts in a vice.

-Well, Bush is still saying he won't pull out of Iraq. I would be angry, but at this point, it's such a non-suprise, I just can't throw a fit. It still pisses me off, but I can't do anything about it, so what's the use in complaining? -Be sure to check out Masters of Horror...oh, why bother? I'm obviously the only person on this board who watches MoH, so what's the fucking point? -As far as Christmas goes, I want an IPod, two t-shirts, a CD, and maybe a DVD. Yep, that's it. Hey, IPods are damn expensive. -I rented "See No Evil" recently, and as expected, it sucked. Fortunately, it's laughably bad, and has two or three cool kills, so I'll give it that. That out of the way, I don't think Jason Voorhees would see any competition in Kane. -Speaking of Horror movies, I'll probably check out "Turistas" tomorrow. I doubt it will be good, but T want to see an R-rated Horror movie in theatres, and I missed "Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning."
