The Gay Bed & Breakfast of Terror

I have to tell you, this movie looks like it could be so bad it's looped around to being okay.

My friend Wes told me about it the other day and I had to look it up online.

"The Gay Bed & Breakfast of Terror" combines many aspects of life that are interesting to me. B-Horror movies, gay-ness, hotels/bed & breakfasts, and cute boys - nifty.

Find out more about the movie at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0815165/

Hollywood Jigsaw

I know it's not exactly on track, but music track, thought track or whatever, I have to re-visit the trip to Virgin Records last night.

I had just come home from work and wasn't stressed out until I got home, nothing special happened, I just felt that way.
I decided I would take a walk and I knew I had a gift card I was going to have to use up at Virgin soon before it expired, so I wanted to cool down and enjoy the cool night weather and crowd on Hollywood Blvd. so I took an hour to go walk around in my neighborhood. (Holly-hood)

If you know Hollywood, you know that there are costumed characters that walk around in front of the Chinese Theater for tips when you take photos of them.
There was an amazingly lifelike "Jigsaw" character from the 'Saw' series of movies pedaling around on a tricycle outside the theater.
It was a bit disturbing and I walked a little out of the way of him.
He must have "read my behavior" and pedaled right over in front of me playfully going around and around in my path ahead.
He stopped in front of me at something like 4 feet high and said in a deep, mechanical voice as he pedaled around me and looked directly up at me with his puppet face and said, "hello."
I was playfully but a tiny, tiny bit truly frightened.
My reaction was to scoot right along that he swiveled around and pedaled around me for a few seconds underfoot but just out of the way and said, "Do you want to play with me?" as I was almost running from the little man or kid or whatever the fuck was under that crazy costume.
I think I want new policy not be able to even sell that costume.

Man, it was scary and frighteningly entertaining. *wink* (...kind of like Jason Sechrest.)

Blessed with Curses

Wow, this is crazy.
I read THIS article about sets that might really be haunted.
....YIKE!

The articles reads,
Freaked out yet? If so, you're exactly where the movie industry wants you to be: In the mood to scream, attach yourself to the arm of a date and — most importantly — spend $10 on a horror movie. It seems that ever since Hollywood has existed, it's been blessed with curses.
It also says,
Some purported curses go hand-in-hand with painfully real moments of horror. Each of the three "Poltergeist" movies was met with the tragedy of a principal actor, from 22-year-old Dominique Dunn's 1982 murder to Julian Beck's death at the beginning of 1986's sequel to 12-year-old Heather O'Rourke's demise from cardiopulmonary arrest soon after the release of the final film. Just before filming began on the 2005 remake of "The Amityville Horror," the body of a dead fisherman washed up on the shore of the set — four weeks before the film's premiere, the real-life inspiration for Ryan Reynolds' tormented patriarch dropped dead.
...that's some pretty crazy stuff.
Earlier this year, "Omen" remake director John Moore attributed two days of ruined footage to such supernatural occurrences, telling reporters that a malfunctioning remote-control camera kept registering "Error 666," a message that repairmen insisted did not exist.
WHAT? SHUT THE HELL UP!

I found some other links with some similar information.
