Gothic.net has posted a few more interesting Panel of Experts features. The most recent questions are Do you enjoy novels or anthologies more? and What are your favorite monsters and what specifically appeals to you about them? I felt inadequately special saying vampires, but I was surely not alone with this answer. It is kind […]
Given that it is pretty much the best thing on television right now, I’m not exactly surprised that Game of Thrones has been renewed for a Season 3 on HBO. With Boardwalk Empire’s wretched season finale and few feature films coming to premium cable in a timely fashion, I wonder how much of an uptick […]
Our episode of Game of Thrones begins with Arya, looking emo and pissing in a creek. Yep, that kind of sets the tone. The city watch has sent a pair of utter humps up the king’s road after Gendry, and predictably they get owned and sent packing. This earns Gendry a couple of stares and […]
If you’re on an alternative website and class yourself as alternative in any way, I dare say you’re familiar with Tim Burton, if only through his classic magnum opus, The Nightmare Before Christmas. If I asked, you’d probably admit to having heard of it, if I prodded you’d likely let fly your opinions on the […]
Darn it, yesterday was Cthulu Day and I forgot. I swear I would have baked a cake, had I remembered. Maybe not as awesome as the 200 pound octopus cake from Highland Bakery in the Buckhead area of Atlanta where I inexplicably used to live. But definitely with tentacles. I’ve actually gotten pretty decent at […]
Forrest Black and I first attended the Stoker awards afterparty some time in the 1990’s. I don’t remember why we were in New York, but I remember being on a rooftop, chatting with other writers, with a cityscape in the background, which, at least in my mind’s eye totally looks like New York. It was […]
If they could get away with it, this ep would be called something like “Old Familiar Faces (Not Currently on Spikes)”. We get to catch up with all last season’s survivors, all looking at the same red comet, all wondering what the living fuck they have gotten themselves into. We start with King Joffrey, who […]
I love crazy special effects makeup and I love before and after pics. I recently watched the whole second season of SyFy’s Face/Off back to back in a TiVo watching orgy of monster-making competition. When Forrest Black sent me the link to this Wicked Pictures BTS video, he pointed out that it was like a […]
For those of you who (a) still miss Warren Ellis’ weekly webcomic Freakangels, and (b) think the image of a terminal psychotic skullfucking a dolphin is a droll one, the nice folks at Avatar have finally started running Crossed: Wish You Were Here. It’s a long-form serialized story set in the world previously explored in […]
Sometimes you don’t know how badly the world needs something, until that thing arrives. To wit, a video starring fabulous drag queens Willam Belli, Detox, and Vicky Vox singing Chow Down (at Chick-fil-A). Which features entertaining outfits, shots of my neighborhood, hot tubbing with hot gay boys, and of course snowballing bits of Chick-Fil-A. Crossdresser […]
