Canadian Thanksgiving!

Let's watch some Degrassi!

Rick Roll!

Although the effect of the Rick Roll is finally losing power a year later, just had to share my favorite part of last year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!

I Love TOfurKEY on Thanksgiving!

It's the start of Thanksgiving Week! Nothing screams America like gluttons engorging themselves on meat and crazy people trampling each other at the mall! No, but really. I actually enjoy Thanksgiving. Food is a great way of bringing people together. Plus i've got lots to be thankful for this year! Tony and I both have our share of family in town, which doesn't happen often. To get you in the mood, here's the song that always kicks off my ToFURkey Week :)

PS. Vegetarians rejoice! I'll definitely be including my veg-friendly Thanksgiving Meal on here later in the week!

Obvious Hiatus.

I apologize to any of my readers, I know I haven't written in almost a month now. Unfortunately my semester got a lot more hectic than I realized and I haven't had the time to dedicate to my blog. Fortunately, semester is winding down and I hope to start writing more frequently here from now on. What have I been missing in the blogosphere as of late? What would you like to see me write about once I get back on here?

Be back soon!

Tuesday Trailer - Halloween Throwback Edition!

Since it IS Halloween week, I figure I might as well put up some old trailers for some horror goodies you might have missed (most i've seen but some I have to see after watching the trailers.) Check these out, put 'em on your netflix queue, and get ready for some phenomenal scares!

Event Horizon

Halloween (original)

Rosemary's Baby

The Exorcist

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (original)

The Ring

more to come!

Monster Mash!

I don't know how i've waited so long to listen to this song this season! Guess that what happens when you're overly preoccupied. Here you have the original and a cover as well. Let's do the Monster Mash! It was a grave yard smash, after all!

Bobby 'Boris' Pickett and the Cryptkickers

The Mistfits cover

Puttin' On The Ritz!

I've been slacking in my Halloween-related posts. Here's a clip from one of my all-time favorite not-so-scary Halloween films, Young Frankenstein:

Peter Boyle and Gene Wilder are magic in this film. So, so good.

An evening.

for inspiration.

Uh Huh Her - Common Reaction

Alisha Batth covers Ani DiFranco - Grey

So in case you've been wondering...

...why I'm not as active over here, it's because I've got a million different things going on in my life outside the blogosphere at once. Between school and articles and trying to have somewhat of a social life with friends and family, it gets rather difficult to update on a daily basis. However, feel free to check out WVUM News and The Miami Hurricane when i've been silent here, as I am currently writing pieces for both (WVUM moreso.) Just thought i'd let you all know!

Tuesday Trailers

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus - They finally have a new trailer for this and it looks absolutely stunning! It also makes everyone very melancholy to think what more this could've done for Heath Ledger. Terry Gilliam remains one of my personal favorites.

Motherhood - Something completely different here from the previous trailer. Uma Thurman is a stay at home mom in Manhattan, a place where stay-at-home anything is probably verbotten. It looks cute and witty and mushy and I can dig it because Uma is a great actress.

That Evening Sun - It's being hailed as a true Southern American Gothic. It's a seriously unique story and the acting looks superb. And hey, isn't that Arlene from True Blood I see? Check this out.

Broken Embraces - Pedro Almodovar finally has a new film! I've only been waiting for... three years for this? As usual, the stunningly gorgeous Penelope Cruz is in it and it's something about the complicated relationships that women have with others and with themselves. Can't wait!

Come back next week for more!
