Reel Dread #9: The Unfilmable: What is Lovecraftian Cinema?

The ninth installment of Reel Dread is up today. Come and watch me try and wrap my head around the question: What is Lovecraftian Cinema?

Is it insightful or trainwreckful? Let me know.

Q is a very interesting letter

Meg and I just watched the documentary called Word Play . It takes a look at Will Shortz, the crossword facilitator for the New York Times, and the interesting culture behind crossword competitions.

Think of it like a mixture of Trekkies and Best in Show only the whole thing is real. Bill Clinton, Jon Stewart and the Indigo Girls make appearances.

Recommended.

PS The post title is an actual line from the movie.

Final Tally

6 pounds overall!!!

I had two sandwiches and a can of coke for lunch and 4 slices of pizza for dinner. So I have probably now gained a pound and a half...

Reel Dread #6: Adapting a Legend: Do your Math, Son!

Here's episode 6 of the column. You know the drill.

Day One

1 lb gone already.
















I'm so hungry...

Day Zero

I weigh 203 lbs.

Not for long. Tomorrow is day one of the Weight Watchers soup diet.

3+ days of fruits, veggies and endless amounts of Cabbage soup. I am not going to be a pleasant person.





At least there's black coffee allowed...
