I am not one for horror movies. I hate that feeling of being terrified. I never found the fun in abject terror. But I read a shit load of Stephen King books as a kid and one of he ones that got to me in a big way was Pet Semetary. Not only did it make me sad with the death of Church the Cat but it terrified me ever more when Church came back...as did someone else who is the reason why toddlers with scalpels is just about the most terrifying things I can imagine happening to me. I hate and mistrust the toddler at the best of times but the kid in this movie is the stuff of nightmares.
Like most of the movie adaptations of King's work they played adnausium during the movie channel days. I enjoy them all except for Maximum Overdrive which was one of only two movies I ever walked out on in a movie theatre.
I hate what happens to that poor kitty when he comes back to life. Sometimes it's best for the dead to stay dead sometimes.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.
