Hey Lord Summerisle...Umm, What's Up With The Dress?

     The Wicker Man (the original one) is a good interesting movie. It's not a "horror" movie per se, but an unusual mix of suspense, eeriness, comedy, quirkiness, and mystery. I know it may not necessarily be everyone's cup of tea, but I like it. There where a few "WTF?" moments in there, but this is my favorite:

 
     The purpose of all the villagers in their costumes is explained, but...Lord Summerisle in a purple dress? Do I keep missing something? What was that conversation like behind the scenes? "Okay Christopher, now, let's have you put on a mustard yellow shirt and women's wig, throw on that purple dress over there, and go dance around at the head of the ceremonial procession, okay?" "Hmm, *shrug* sure, why not?" LMAO

Because one picture just isn't enough:









Here is one man who is completely secure in his masculinity. You go man!

Paranormal Activity Yawn

Watched Paranormal Activity 4, got it from Netflix. It wasn't any better or worse than the first 3, just more of the same. The problem with this franchise is that, after the first movie, they where too predictable. All 4 contain the same general stuff, and they all pretty much end the same way. I also think they should have gone a different direction than the old "evil demon" thing. Early on in PA 1, they start in on the whole "It's a demon!" line, at which point it becomes too predictable. I would have kept the nature of the entity a secret, made it really weird and unpredictable. I'd have it do some really bizarre, freaky, unexpected stuff. Because in my opinion, the unknown is a lot scarier than the known.

And why was "Toby" so small in this one? I always got the impression that this demon was quite tall, but in PA 4, he appeared to be like child sized. Maybe demons shrink with age the way people do? I don't know, but I do hope we've seen the last of the PA sequels. They're cheap and easy to make, but enough is enough.

I did go see "The Croods" at the discount theater the other day though, and it was quite good! I wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised by the movie. It was cute, funny, and had some interesting fantastical flora and fauna. It was the sort of movie both kids and adults can enjoy.

Trader Joes has the most delicious mango lemonade! I tried a sample today and loved it so much I ended up grabbing a bottle of the stuff. When you take a sip, you get this really nice sweet mango flavor that is followed by a pleasant lemony taste at the end. It's just a yummy, refreshing, unique lemonade.

GI. Joe and the Detachable Penis

Went to see "GI. Joe: Retaliation" last night. I always enjoy Bruce Willis in a movie, and this was no exception. Is it the movie of the year? No. Was it an entertaining couple of hours? Yes. What I expected was what I got. An entertaining movie full of explosions, big weapons, cool fight scenes, and Bruce Willis. It was a fun movie, well worth the $1.50 admission at the discount theater.

Later on, I decided to run up to the grocery store and grab a carton of Dreyer's ice cream (mint cookie crunch-delicious) before they went off sale. While driving to the store, this song suddenly pops into my head- "Detachable Penis" by King Missle. I have no idea why this particular song would suddenly intrude into my thoughts. I mean, I haven't heard the song in years (though it was quite popular back in the 90s), nor was this song or anything like it playing on the car radio (An old Beatles song was playing, though I can't even remember what it was, I could barely hear it over "Detachable Penis" playing in my head). To the best of my knowledge, I hadn't been thinking about detachable things or penises. When I got home from the store, it was still driving me nuts, so I had to go find "Detachable Penis" and listen to it.

Where on earth did that come from? Maybe the government is testing a secret weapon? Maybe aliens where experimenting on me? Or maybe I'm just really really weird.

For reference, here's the song in question:
