And, finally, did you see what's new in the Redbox tonight? Some new movie called DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. It's been rated 0x0000009F by STOP
Tell me, which of these two departments is more disconcerting to happen upon in a store?
A few remaining pictures in my roll--
A rugged thermos-style wine tumbler for camping. For those looking for harder stuff, a bottle of "SELECT Doe Urine." With "non-threatening curosity appeal!" I am so so glad I'm not the one who selects the doe urine, would not apply do not hire.
A grab bag. You're dredging pretty low in the barrel to base your movie off an evil Jack-In-The-Box. The thing that gets me about land sharks as a concept is: dirt isn't transparent! How would it be able to see where it's swimming/burrowing? The premise is flawed is what I'm saying. It'll never fly. (Because it's a land shark, not a sky shark, duh.)
The "Girl in the Box trilogy" comes, it seems, from the Lifetime network. The "Legend of the Five" looks to be someone trying to cash in on Harry Potter-style magical teen adventures.
Random topic: dinosaurs.
I'm told Alien Sniper was named "Alien Sniperess" in other territories. Because even our alien snipers must be explicitly gendered.
Easter Bunny Massacre is a fun premise! I especially like the tag line, "This year there won't be a Good Friday."
It's nearly three in the morning, so why not laugh with me at the movies I saw earlier on the shelf at Walmart?
These first two are from The Asylum. "Planet Dune" reminds me of their version of "John Carter of Mars," where in the fiction both "Mars" and "John Carter" were another planet/person who had just happened to have gotten named that.
Over on Twitter someone tweeted a joke about Taito making "The Lew Zealand Story," and I foolishly immediately opened up Aesprite and made pixel art for it.
Cover of new book!
