Sometimes you just really want to be done with something, though, you know? And although I’m still not quite there yet, this does at least get me to the bottom of my drummer’s box set:
Georges Melies Trick Films, 1897, in which the celebrated cinematic pioneer discovers the value of ripping off one’s own earlier successes and the drawing power of a shapely behind…
Saw III (2006), In which you can practically hear the Jigsaw Killer’s electronically distorted voice asking the filmmakers how much narrative integrity they’re willing to sacrifice to have a twist ending…
Saw IV (2007), In which the Saw series intrepidly Evel Knievels its way over a veritable squadron of sharks…
Saw V (2008), in which it redeems itself just the slightest bit after it’s already much too late…
Scream of Fear (1961), in which Hammer tries its hand at psycho-horror for the first time…
and…
Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century (1977), in which the Abominable Snowman impersonates King Kong.

I bailed on the Saw series after part III so I really have to hand it to you for slogging through parts IV and V.
As for Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century, I’ve wanted to see it ever since I heard Scott Foy raving about it. It sounds hilarious.

…I’m sorry, I’ve been wanting to use that joke for a while.
I appreciate it loses something in basic text.

Okay, Nathan– you’re the expert here. How do we get rid of these damnable spam posts?

Because when I’m after someway of selling home loans, I go looking for the Yeti watching demographic, nothing says disposable cash like that.

You know, the Antique Crystal Lamp.com ad would have gone perfectly with one of the reviews for Amityville IV: The Evil Escapes…

And yeesh, here’s another one. Apparently the spammers are ganging up on this one post for some reason.
Though spam-by-pingback is something I don’t think I’d seen before, I guess, even if in retrospect it’s kind of an obvious tactic. It’s like they’re making you do a link exchange against your will…
