Hello my beloved Minions. I must say that I thought I’d be doing more writing than I am but I’ve been busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. The leg has healed very well, thanks for asking. Just a couple of scars mark the spot.

So, yeah. This past couple weeks have been busy. Every time I sit down to write, something begins leaking out of someone around here and it’s old Scarydad to the rescue. I haven’t been in the shop, or at the keyboard at all. I hate to leave you all so neglected but we all knew what was coming.

Sequel and Spawn are doing very well, however, and Bride has recovered nicely. We are settling in for a bit of a whack-a-mole Christmas, because that’s what it feels like we’re doing most of the time. I assure you that I’m still around and that I have no plans to go anywhere. It’s just a profoundly busy time right about now.

So, enjoy your weekly dose of weirdness and I’ll see you when I can. (more…)

Wednesday Weirdness: Turkey Day Edition

theBird (5)I don’t know why but it bothers the hell out of me when people start calling the Thanksgiving turkey, “The Bird.”

It”s all, “Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey Turkey…” until about 48 hours out of the oven then it’s suddenly, “The Bird.”

Not making a statement. I live turkey and will eat it however you like to call it. I just don’t like it when you call it “The Bird.” It’s not “The Bird.” “The Bird” is a hand gesture. You are not gonna cook my middle finger on low for 9 hours after a salt brine soak. Or if you are then I’m going to go now.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Here’s to the bird:

Scarydad and Autodidact in the Attic review The Conjuring

Today I’m talking about The Conjuring with Victoria from Autodidact in the Attic. I really liked it. Victoria said, “Meh.”

In the first of what I hope will be many point/counterpoint reviews, we’re going to see who’s right. I’ll go first:

SCARYDAD:

For my reviews, I typically don’t care about the writer or director or the pedigree of the film. I don’t really even care about the actors. For me there’s one question above all others: Is it scary?

Scary doesn’t need to be qualified, either. Scary is scary. Therefore, it’s all subjective. What scares me might not scare you. What’s generally the case, however, is that what scares everybody else does not scare me.

So, why was The Conjuring so scary?
