Watching: Silver Bullet - right, if it hasn't surfaced in past comments on the blog, I am absolutely in the can big time for werewolves in anything, and am probably the only person who can watch Werewolf in a Women's Prison for the werewolves, even though I've actually seen the trailer, so you can just pretend I've written a glowing review and save us both a little time from our day with this one: creepy priests, smalltown hysteria, werewolf rampage, made in the mid-80s from a Steve King story when that actually meant something (we're talking about before he made Maximum"it's no Killdozer" Overdrive, obviously), and best of all - and this is a film with a werewolf in it so you know this is pretty special if it tops that - Gary Busey is in it. If you didn't know already, Gary is a God-bothering substance-abusing movie star who has been in loads of big notable films only as a matter of statistical probability because Gary will star in pretty much anything, even if the title is "Gary Busey gets his drunk ass arrested", but Gary is also certifiably batshit fucking insane, and I don't just mean any old crazy, either, Gary is both the good kind of crazy, and the bad kind of crazy in one package to the point that not only can he be the bad kind of crazy that panhandles for tax-dodging hypocrites on their infomercials and somehow end up doing exactly the opposite by the end to the point that he's become the good kind of crazy again, but this is actually him having a rational conversation. Anyway, like Ozzy, he's thankfully cleaned up his act but not actually become any less of a complete looper and thus enjoyed a later fame that transcends something for which he's already well-known and arguably deserving of note and it now colours the stuff he did in the past because holy shit this awesome werewolf movie was awesome enough before I found out it has Gary Busey in it and he looks and sounds like he's barely keeping it together even though this was when he was on the drugs and thus actually medicated into some semblance of sanity for most of the day.
But yeah - SIlver Bullet is a great movie.

What's this: Vista not crashing once during a photoshop session? Surely there must be something wrong with my PC - it isn't functioning in the manner to which I am accustomed!

Page finished, off to the next one..!

Still not crashing, Vista? I'm actually worried now.

Watching: In the Loop, TNA, CSI, Cold Case, Avatar: The Last Airbender
Not watching: Hollyoaks - because, just like Nick Griffin draws the line at eating babies, even I have standards.

I love you, Vista. Don't ever change.

You win again, anatomy. You win again.

Watching: Robocop 2 - reviled at the time because it lost some of the inherent realism that the first movie derived from the premise of a robot zombie with a machine gun stabbing psychopaths to death with his deeply impractical USB jack, time is kind to this lovably hateful piece of trash, especially when some of the FX work like the stop-motion Robocop 2 end of level baddie have a really dated feel that adds a certain charm.
It's still really fucking dumb, there's no getting away from that, but it's a consistent kind of dumb that feeds back into its own relentless misanthropy as it paints its picture of a gang-ridden and violence-choked dystopia in 'Old' Detroit as it's willfully razed by corporate America so they can build on the ashes, regardless of the lives destroyed and culture swept away in the process. Despite not having cellphones and internet as prominent components of the background noise (science fiction can't be expected to predict everything, after all), the movie is still a damn good picture of a whitenoise information-overload society falling victim to its own cynicism and apathy, and the gangs of violent, foul-mouthed feral children roaming the streets is the only let-down as that's pretty much what we all expect the future to look like by now and it's a bit at odds with the sheer brutal stupidity of everything else, which operates at the level of a comic book that no-one is asking you to take seriously.

There is just something inherently funny about Robocop saying "Isn't this a school night?" but like the rest of it I guess you either get it or you don't - though it helps to be indulgent and remember that the movie you're watching has a number in the title.

Watching: CSI Miami, CSI New York, Greek, Leverage, THIS until my brain accepts it as real

Watching: Judge Dredd, RAW, Smackdown, TNA Impact, Good Wife, White Collar

Another page done, complete with mistakes and hopefully lessons learned - you win again, anatomy! You win again...

Off to reward myself with an hour in the gym and some Saul of the Molemen and Harvey Birdman.
