abi suggested i begin going through my entire movie library in an effort to watch every dvd in one year. i numbered each movie (excluding tv box sets and music dvd’s) and decided to use this thing to randomly “draw” a number for that night’s movie. the first movie “chosen” in this process was #167 of 287: RE-ANIMATOR. Something of a classic among horror fans, very fun, strange, yucky stuff.
Showbread had its first full-band rehearsal of the year on thursday with great success. we now have 12 finished demos with another song “I Am Missing” almost completed. we’re keeping the writing pace going while simultaneously working to prepare for the summer festivals.
i finished a script for the first issue of The Black Meat, a comic book series Patrick and I are working on along side our other book Absolution. So far so good. Absolution kind of feels like Apocalyspse Now meets Kill Bill, and The Black Meat is something like The Metamorphosis meets Invasion Of The Body Snatchers. Sounds good huh?
Wow, it’s so awesome you have time every night to watch a different movie! I wish I had that time. How do you manage your time with everything that you do? I’m amazed by that lol, I can barely keep up with all my duties. =/
Re-Animator is the kind of movie that resurrects itself in my consciousness from time to time. For some reason, the music video to Calvin Harris’s “Acceptable in the ’80s” brings Herbert West flooding into my brain. I think it’s the fluorescent green syringe.
“The Metamorphosis” meets “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”? Hmm… Monstrous vermin has a better ring to it than pod-people, I’ll give you that much.
