Hillbillies Vs Crazy and Clumsy College Students. Well, that pretty sums it.
I’ve mentioned before that I have some sort of weird love affair with off beat movies. This keeps up this streak.
Mix in a dark sense of humor and a little twist to the story, this is just like so many slasher in the woods flicks from days gone by. Of course, the whole chain events gets kicked off through prejudice and and miscommunication. But then it doesn’t help that one of the characters is egging on the miscommunication. There’s a good bit of dark comedy in Tucker & Dale. There were scenes where they could have gone a little further for a laugh but I can see how they didn’t want to the movie to become a completely silly parody. So over all for the movie, that was a good thing.
If you have a certain nostalgic feel for slasher flicks and enjoy a good tongue in cheek twist on the genre then go ahead and check out Tucker & Dale Vs Evil.
There are a few authors who have greatly influenced not only RPG’s but also pop culture in general. And one such man is Robert E. Howard. He gave us Conan, Kull and Salomon Kane just to name a few. His tales of Sword, Sorcery & Weird Adventures still shapes the genre today.
Thank you Mr. Howard.
If you like urban fantasy type stuff then just might be up your alley. I’m really glad that this Canadian import has finally made it over the border.
The show is more Dresden like than the Dresden files series. First all the supernaturals are considered Fae. And they have to chose a side Light or Dark. I’m hearing Summer or Winter Court here plus it reminds me a lot of Nightwatch in that regard. And also our main character, her name is Bo by the way, is a succubus. Really, she’s almost identical to a White Court vampire. And one of the other characters. He’s a cop werewolf. And we can’t forget the perky mortal human sidekick Kenzi who is one of the more interesting characters in the show but she does start remind me of Claudia from Warehouse 13.
So go ahead and check it out on SyFy. Hey, they got a cool show, they just had to import it.
I blogged about his series before and can’t wait to see it. Yeah, I know the goobers over at the Syfy Channel are billing as an original series and that it originally aired up in Canada. Now, it’s time for American audiences to watch it. Everything I’ve seen on Lost Girl makes it look really damned cool.
So if you’ve been using your every waking moment to play Skyrim just take breath, bathroom and bathing break. Once you’re refreshed sit back and enjoy the Literal Trailer. Remember kids. Don’t piss off your barber. And wear sleeves.
Yep, It’s TARDIS day or the day that Dr. Who premiered way back in 1963. But it’s also Nerdist Day. The day that Nerdist Chris Hardwick came into the world kicking and screaming like a baby because like he was. Although it wasn’t in 1963. So here you a little clip combining the two. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving.
