My Profile

I was checking out this My Space style website and wrote up a profile for it. Here it is an enjoy.

—————–

My kung-fu is undeniable and I am an outlaw in Peru. Even though I am a private citizen I receive fan mail. I once single handedly fought off a ship load of pirates while wearing a dashing tuxedo. I was asked to lead a small European country that I had never been to, I had to turn them down because it would have taken time away from my lunar mission. I am beloved by children and the elderly. I am both radioactive and invisible to modern radar. I am made of an indestructible titanium alloy yet still have the delicious fragrance of baked bread. I am difficult to spot with the unaided eye. I have the hoary powers of the occult, while still being a master of countless scientific disciplines. I both walk the walk AND talk the talk. I have won countless world shuffleboard championships and have grown county fair winning radishes. The wikipedia entry about me is written in ancient Sumerian and is the topic of endless scholarly debate. I once rocked out so hard it destabilized the orbit of the ISS. On quiet mornings I re-invent forms of teleportation. People on the street ask for my autograph for no apparent reason. I receive critical acclaim yet remain a humble man of the people.

More reasons to love Masters of Horror

Ok, Masters of Horror has been at best, a mixed bag. Some of the stories have been lame, some of the effects in various shows more so. I know, I know. But some of it has been great, when running on all cylinders it has been haunting.

As any good horror story should be; scary, werid, off-putting. I love the IDEA of Masters of Horror, take the best in the biz, let’em go. But the realization has, at times, been less that realized.

Dissapointing for sure, but unforgivable? Not hardly. When MoH works it really works, the trouble is these directors are working on cheap budgets on a brief filming timetable in Vancouver. There is only so much they can do there. They try, some succede, others…not so much. Still even their stabs at it are fun.

You have to look at MoH as a sort of EC comics in the visual medium. It is horror cotton candy, take it as such and enjoy it that way. I do.

Just don’t let the elephants stomp you on the way out of the tent.
