Houma Movie Club: The Cabin in the Woods

This week we watched The Cabin in the Woods this week and it was really, really good. It's a clever movie that, for me anyway, is the final word on horror movies.

I think we're getting better at these things, I think I need to pull the intensity back a bit. For the guy who said, "let's not quibble" a few weeks ago, I think I carried more than my fair share of quibbling this week.

Pretty tired and this is getting up pretty late. I'll upload the links later.

"Playing Magic Is Too Expensive" or "The Shitbirds"

A few weeks back, I covered how counterfeit Magic cards were surfacing. I then went on to conjecture about how folks would justify using those cards and what consequences might follow. Inevitably, some folks are going to justify buying high quality, fake Magic cards because it's so expensive to play.

Most of these folks are talking—well they're flapping their lipholes and flailing on their keyboards in an approximation of English. Those decipherable signals claim that it's necessary to buy counterfeits to play Magic.

Let met speak directly to you, you festering piles of animate filth. I need you to take your hand, the one with the single opposable thumb you use to manipulate the Magic cards we fucking humans use, and stick it your pie hole. You don't realize you're talking, but you are and as with every moment, from your conception until you die, it's a bad idea and you have to put your thumb into your mouth to stop it because your brain cannot be trusted to control itself.

Apparently some of my friends haven't seen these.

Houma Movie Club: Grabbers

This week we talked about Grabbers, which was one of our better picks. Josh couldn't make it and Richard joined up. We talk special effects, the role of romance in horror movies, behavior/biology of space aliens, and poitín.

Our movie next week is Evil Dead (2013). After that, we'll be watching Steven Segal is the Force of Execution, Europa Report, and Stand Up Guys.
