GObama!

I stayed in Halloween night. I watched The Tripper which was alright. A bit too much comedy for my tastes, but it was servicable. It's about a guy dressed as Ronald Reagan who kills hippies. Modern day hippies, one of whom was Jay of Jay and Silent Bob fame. I kinda hate him so knowing he died in it is cool. I missed his kill because I was...doing something else. There weren't a lot of likable characters. Thomas Jane's sheriff character was kinda funny and cool.

On Saturday, I watched The Girl Next Door which was just awful. Implied torture-porn is just as bad as torture-porn in my book. I also watched Black Sheep which was really good. It did a good job of balancing the horror and the comedy and sheep are creepy for real. Later, I met Rebecca and Bean at the CC for beer. Rebecca's new boy showed up. He's cute in a stoner kinda way.

I decided to watch a bunch of the bonus features for some of my favorite movies. I watched the Halloween documentary that came with my 25th anniversary edition which was really good and informative. I also watched the Friday the 13th ones. It's weird how all the horror fans are all crazy for Kane Hodder's Jason when he didn't show up until part 7, but I'm not a Jason fanatic so I kinda don't care who plays him. Also included are interviews with Amy Steel (Jennie from part 2) and the chick who plays Alice. Pretty good. The Nightmare on Elm Street one was really boring. I think Wes Craven takes himself a wee bit too seriously, but I still have a crush on Robert Englund. Despite his Freddie cred, he will kinda always be Willie from V to me.

So that was my Halloween weekend. Pretty boring. Tomorrow I vote.
