And it’s called Love. Huh.

After losing contact with Earth, Astronaut Lee Miller becomes stranded in orbit alone aboard the International Space Station. As time passes and life support systems dwindle, Lee battles to maintain his sanity – and simply stay alive. His world is a claustrophobic and lonely existence, until he makes a strange discovery aboard the ship.

Thirst is a gloriously overlong, entertaining mess. Check out the Rock & Roll Ray-hosted show tonight at the Uptown Theatre.

I was going to leave this alone, but the whole Paranormal Activity phenomenon has just gotten a bit ridiculous. Despite being a sub-par work, it certainly had a fantastic marketing campaign, and now Paramount is letting fans submit their names to be in the DVD credits as a special ‘thank you’ for DEMANDING the film everywhere. I guess this would be a nice gesture except that Paramount used the DEMAND campaign solely as a gimmick and planned to roll-out the film nationwide regardless.

Along with this, it’s now being assumed that Paranormal Activity will cause major studios to focus on tiny-budget horror films to make more profit. Good idea, but total bullshit, because the same thing should’ve happened 10 years ago in the wake of Blair Witch Project. However, the studios back then did nothing of the sort. That film’s effect on the horror genre was instead to have every aspiring filmmaker pick up newly-available digital camcorders and make their own no-budget film in hopes of generating the same success which, unless you consider being dumped on the back page of Netflix Play It Now’s horror section an achievement, never happened.

Paranormal Activity isn’t the beginning of a horror revolution, it’s the first financially positive after-effect from the ‘revolution’ 10 years ago. That’s a long time for a good idea to pay off just once, so studios will continue to play it safe, file this away as a fluke (which it is), make the sequel, and continue on with their lives. I can only hope they take the larger-budget Paranormal Activity 2 on the Devil’s Rejects route and focus on a bad-ass, demon-possessed girl running rampant through the countryside, because that’s something I’d like to see.

The Midnight Movie Society is bringing the 80s murder comedy Clue to the Red Stag Supperclub in what I assume is a new ongoing event, though their calendar says nothing of the sort.

Here is the murderously funny movie based on the world-famous Clue board game. Was it Colonel Mustard in the study with a gun? Miss Scarlet in the billiard room with the rope? Or was it Wadsworth the butler? Meet all the notorious suspects and discover all their foul play. You’ll love their dastardly doings as the bodies and the laughs pile up before your eyes.

Well that certainly is a good song.

Off of The Blueprint 3, which I just picked up on vinyl at Cheapo Records for 20 bucks. Holler! Do you know what I am saying?

What we got here is… The Hawaii Show’s newest single. Some men are just super sweet. So… you get what we heard here last week. Which is the way we wants it. So, we gets it. Now… I really like it, probably more than you may.

Yeah!! Best Strother Martin from Cool Hand Luke reference ever. Eat a dick, bitches!

Ahem… anyway. Steve gave me permission to spread this shit around (like the herps) so I’m giving it to you now (like I gave it to your mom last night – boosh!) for free (… nah, too easy). Enjoy it and pass it on to your friends.

Also, for those craving even more new Hawaii Show material. You may not have to wait too long. Then again… you may have to wait a very, very, very long time. You can just never tell with these things.

Ps. LONG LIVE THE UPTOWN BAR!!!
