Better than Bender’s Game but not as good as Bender’s Big Score or The Beast With A Billion Backs.

I love, love, love Futurama, but if it ended here, well, that might be a good place for it. I question if bringing the band back together as the rumors have it right now is a good idea.

I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream

One of the more famous collections of “psychedelic” science fiction. From a man, of course, who never touched psychedelics.

The titular story is fantastic, a few others are interesting. And others still are completely forgettable. Harlan Ellison is terse, sometimes, to his own detriment. These are short short stories – oftentimes just enough to get some kooky idea across and then move on.

Some real stupid and, at times, angry stuff. Worth checking out.

I dunno. For some reason, three years after it came out, I suddenly decided I had to see this movie. The dude has a pyramid for a head after all.

Well – much of the imagery is tremendous, I must concede, but there really is next to nothing else going on. Kind’ve a shame.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974), Tobe Hooper, D

This might very well be the last very famous movie I’ve never seen. Well, had never seen before last night. I watched it last night. It’s garbage.

Gentlemen Broncos (2009), Jared Hess, D
