My boss called me last night, completely wasted to tell me that Mike Watt was staying at his house and that I should come over with my friends to have steamy sex with them. I just laughed and told him he was drunk and crazy.
He calls me this morning to tell me Mike Watt really did stay at his house last night, and that he drank half a bottle of his whiskey, ate a whole pizza, blabbed on about a bunch of amazing things and then passed out. There was more to this story that I’m not going to share, but I’m pissed I didn’t take him seriously. Fuck!
Day 4 - A horror movie you thought you’d love and didn’t:
REC 3: Genesis
The 3rd in the series of the best zombies movies I’ve seen in the past decade. This to me was a sure winner, considering the past two movies were done absolutely perfect. The movie starts out amazing! Keeping up with the shaky, hand-held format, when the “outbreak” takes over at a wedding. Then they cleverly segue into a regular, smooth 35mm format at the title screen. From then on the movie just gets silly. Turns into comedy gore nonsense. Needless to say, I was bummed.
There is also a teaser trailer up for a 4th movie. We’ll see.

Day 3 - Favorite classic horror movie:
Creepshow (1982)
This is my absolute, most favorite movie of all time!! I know the last day of the challenge is to put your favorite horror movie. But, this IS a classic, and it IS my favorite.

Day 2 - The last horror movie you saw in the theater:
Cabin in the Woods (2012)
I hardly ever go see movies in the theater anymore, let alone horror movies. There is hardly anything worth paying $10+ dollars for. Specially when it’s all re-hashed bullshit, and rich people remaking my favorite childhood horror movies, and straight out destroying them just for a quick buck. Also, Las Vegas definitely doesn’t house any cool independent theaters really except for the Sci-Fi Center, but I haven’t been down there in forever. Anyway, this movie actually blew me away on how good it was. Last I saw this movie was out in the dollar theater, and it’s also out on demand now. It’s definitely worth picking up a 12 pack of beer, a bottle of whiskey, and inviting some friends over for.

Day 1 - Your first horror movie.
Night of the Lepus (1972)
I’m not really sure if this is the first horror movie I ever saw. My mother is a horror fanatic and would have a different horror movie on every night when I was a kid. But, as far as I can remember back, this seems to definitely be one of the earliest. It always sticks out, because I remember being REALLY, really poor, and my mom stressing about how we might be losing our 3rd floor, ghetto as shit apartment. She couldn’t afford anything but Ramen noodles to eat for dinner that night. I remember us laughing our asses off, though. I mean what is so scary about giant, killer rabbits anyway!

I’ve waited until today to start this because I honestly hate the month of November.
Joy Division - Warsaw
Whenever I DJ and someone comes up to request Joy Division, I almost always play this song off my “An Ideal For Living” 7”. It almost never fails that they come up 20 or 30 minutes later and ask me if I’m ever going to play any. They then tell me to play it again because they’ve obviously never heard it, and I tell them I’ll replay the same song twice in a night if they buy me some whiskey. I never replay it, and they always thank me.
