Let’s hear you call Boris Karloff a cocksucker

Todays post is brought to you by me supposed to be writing an essay. I’ll finish it in the morning, meanwhile here is some stuff:

First up Cyberpunkcafe brings you Cyberpigs:
Article which discusses the sexual advances and pornographic comments that barrage women who enter live chat rooms. When Mother Jones stepped out onto the electronic superhighway, so did a few cyberpigs. Sex and the Cybergirl

My essay is on personal ideas and issues present in the films of Tim Burton:
Q. What kind of personal chord did the material strike in you?
Tim Burton: I think it’s several themes and issues. You run it through your own personal mill. I was fascinated by the weird perverted optimism because it’s something that I started out with and has somewhat eroded, and (Ed Wood) kind of reenergized me. I liked the theme of duality in somebody’s nature: like in Batman, the idea of hiding what you have inside. And perception, how you perceive somebody-I’m interested in that theme. Also the relationship with Bela Lugosi - I romanticized it from what I read, but I related that to how I felt about Vincent Price. More of TB on Ed Wood

Always save the best till last: Greetings, pilgrim. I am Garth Marenghi, sculptor of nightmares. I hope you are sitting un-comfortably at your pc / laptop. Congrats: you have unearthed the official website of my imaginata. As many of my readership can attest, I invented the internet back in 1976 with my short story ‘Mindgrid’. Many of my predictions, alas, have since borne sorry fruit, and I, too, have spent many troubled hours distracted by erotica. Vist Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place (and I don’t mean his bumhole)

Zombie Flesh Eaters

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

Zombie films huh, gotta love em. I have to do an essay for ‘Cult Cinema’ class and I chose to do mine on Lucio Fulci’s much celebrated zombie quartet of Zombie Flesh Eaters, The City of the Living Dead, The Beyond and The House By The Cemetery. So if you can give me any information about those films or you know anything that might help please leave a comment or even better start up a conversation on my new Cyberpunkcafe Forum

Yeah I made a new forum for the website, I figure once I redesign I’m going to start making this website entirely film orientated and ditch a lot of the personal stuff cept maybe the blogesque news posts. Time will tell. I might also get around to putting streaming versions of the films I worked on at uni up here, that’s gonna mean either getting more hosting space and Bandwidth or finding some sort of dedicated streaming hosting solution. Not to mention coming up with a redesign and finding the time to maintain it.

Anyway check out the new forum.
