So a few weeks ago I finished up Mad Men season 1, which is totally awesome.  Probably the best drama I’ve seen in a while, I’m not usually interested in drama, but this one just makes you want to drink scotch, smoke cigarettes and sleep around on your wife.

I caught this image which reminded me of the show, but it’s satire on our world is worthwhile.  But hey, I’m a twitter user, a facebook member, so at least I can laugh at myself.

“Everything is amazing and nobody is happy…”

Caught this video from a Jon Cole.  It’s totally hilarious, Louis CK gripes with Conan about how no one respects and enjoys the amazing world we live in.  Although this interview feels very rehearsed, it does not take away the universal truth of his message.  Not to mention the guy is freakin hilarious.

This past Friday, was Friday the thirteenth, although I spent the night in Vermont, it didn’t keep me away from what was a hilarious adventure over the weekend.   I enjoyed a day or two in the Green Mountain State.

What was really interesting was the amusing people that I encountered at the Weathervane, a popular Brattleboro, VT music hall.

What was most interesting, sorry to anyone whom might have been there, and is currently reading this, but the booth that I sit in here, rotates 360 degrees.  So Amy and I spent the night at this fine establishment, spinning around in front of the window.  I’d certainly like to spend some more time now that I have a better idea of what is there.

When I arrived at home, I knew I would be called out at one point by a reader for not updating my blog here.  So, as far as that goes, I’m going to go double platinum today and finish with my experience with the slasher / horror feature remake of Friday the 13th!

The days adventure involved visiting the theaters to see the remake to the Friday the 13th series.  I couldn’t help but think of the possibility of this movie sucking the house.

Going into such a venue, one must realize the movie in question is that of a remake, so to leave your expectations at home is probably the best idea you can have.  I’ve started to really enjoy horror because in actuality, its so comical; so I knew I was in for it with a remake on this series.

The movie starts with some of the early Jason mythology, so you can get an understanding of how it all started, ie Mrs. Voorhies, how he gets the mask etc etc; and quickly moves through a simple plot line: kids enter woods, Jason massacres, never return.  Girls brother comes looking, meets up with more kids, lots of people die.  I don’t want to ruin it too much, but you get the gist.

Enjoyable as it was, there were a few things that put me off.  For one there was not enough of the creepy music that lead up to kills, it was more of a, isolate one person, pop up behind them, hack slash & repeat.   My other annoyance, as with any horror film, the participants are so pathetic, they can’t run, think, trick or any of the like.

As with many movies, anything that is unrealistic in general, a suspension of disbelief is needed.  Once you seperate from that, it really is a fun horror thriller with the established story that you love.

I had a good time.

In response to Terry’s wall art extravaganza, I am also putting some new wall art up.  My band the tone deffs played a show in november and a friend, Derek Ring ( abnormalbrain / blog ) had illustrated the poster for the event.  Obviously we weren’t the headliner, but the poster is pretty righteous.

I also have his 2009 calendar which is available on his website but here are the pics of the poster.
