Author’s Note: Inspired by an AV Club Newswire regarding possible relaunch of terrible sitcom Full House. So that tells you how long ago I wrote this. We open on the interior of home in San Francisco. Everything is clean, pristine, pure yet there’s … Continue reading Spec Sitcom Script of the Damned

Michael Myers isn’t Michael Myers. He’s The Shape. This was John Carpenter’s vision for Halloween (1978), the film inspired numerous slashers after it. Halloween didn’t invent the genre; it wasn’t technically the first slasher. Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho came before are considered proto-slashers, existing in a time when slashers weren’t as common as chain stores in a strip mall. Halloween was a new beast in the same genus. Where Psycho was meditative and …Chainsaw… was aggressive, Halloween was brooding and sly. The film is shockingly non-violent compared to those that followed in the slasher genre and especially its own sequels. There is virtually little blood actually seen. Everything is hidden in … Continue reading Scene Dissections: Halloween: Stranger in the Yard
This is part one in an ongoing series of short fiction. Let it be known that this is a tale of most grievous madness, horror, and cruelty to the human mind and heart. A love story most tragic and unsettling, as much as it is a eulogy to good taste and the bonds of friendship. Plus, supernatural murder and zombies. Zombies who enjoy a rousing game of tennis. The story begins with the dismantling of a relationship, brick by brick, kiss by kiss. It was a shocking moment. Like sticking a fork in a toaster or a wet finger in a socket. Or attaching … Continue reading At the Mountains of Man-Ass, Part I
I first discovered Bizarre TV in 2014 when I was searching channels on my newly purchased Roku 2 player. It was found among the plethora of free channels (apparently, it doesn’t take much to meet requirements to own a free channel on Roku). So, free was good, and the logo suggested that something wicked would be found on my television screen. The channel description on their Roku profile states, Bizarre TV is a 24-hour livestream of horror films. That’s a broad category, but what I came to learn was that they showed anything under that umbrella including grindhouse, exploitation, … Continue reading Bizarre TV: A Celebration of the Weird
Face/Off is what I will call an unironically iconic film. Released 20 years ago, it is the epitome of John Woo’s directorial style; a flashy, hyper-stylized, over-the-top action film with tons of symbolism. This film is an onion; it has layers and with each one you peel, it brings you to tears with its brilliant stink. Of course, the film does not stink, it rocks. Its part sci-fi thriller, part body-invasion horror, part existential drama, and all no-non-sense action. Well, maybe a little non-sense. The film’s conceit is essentially “What if ‘know your enemy’ but Freaky Friday‘d?” My view is … Continue reading Scene Dissections: Face/Off – Prison Riot/Escape
“Drop the “The.” Just “Alkaline Trio.” It’s cleaner” – Mike Park to Matt Skiba. Probably. Growing up in the northwest suburbs of the Chicagoland area, they were among the more well-known punk acts, despite getting little radio play. I’d say that’s due to their sound and timing. They came together at the tail end of the 90s, when the glory days of pop-punk had already faded from the airwaves and was being replaced by the heavy audio assault of nu-metal. So there probably wasn’t much demand for Jawbreaker-influenced punk rock about heartbreak, drugs, alcohol, death, and the devil. Not unless … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: Alkaline Trio
Hello Avocado! One thing to get out of the way first: Yes, this is Martha. I am Martha. Here, however, as you can see, I am Jimy Coma. Why? A bit of a change.

Good question, hypothetical reader! Scene Dissections is an on-going feature that anyone can contribute to. It is dedicated to the discussion of a particular scene or moment from any visual media that includes television, film, … Continue reading Scene Dissections: An Introduction
“A rock and roll car crash.” That was the description for an album called The Fermi Paradox by a band called Tub Ring. I had opened the Pigface album Easy Listening that was gifted to me for Xmas and out fell a two sided promotion for albums from other artists associated with the Underground Inc label. I don’t know if it was that statement or the odd name that stood out to me most, but I knew I had to seek out this music. High school was an odd moment in my life, musically. I was beginning to outgrow the posturing of nu-metal by … Continue reading Artist Spotlight: Tub Ring
