We'll get to the liveblogging in a second.....

BUT FIRST:  A sneak preview of a movie review I'm working on.  I'm reviewing a movie that's very very close to my heart and that I consider to be one of the, if not THE most underrated horror movie of the last 20-30 years, specifically by critics and the horror intelligencia.  How underrated?  Well....Compare it with the other things I've reviewed thus far.  From Rottentomatoes:

Tales from the Darkside:  The Movie:  Critics-38% positive, Users-60% positive.(underrated yes, but not as underrated as this.)

Disturbing Behavior: Critics-28% positive, Users-37% positive. (they mustve seen the edited cut.)

Poultrygeist:  Critics-68% positive, Users-66% positive.  (EVERYBODY LOVES ZOMBIE CHICKENS!!!!)

and...?????????:  Critics-35% positive;top critics-17% positive, Users- 70% POSITIVE!

HOW?  How the hell did the critics get this so wrong?  I'm sick of this movie getting critically eviscerated for no reason, and soon I'll prove why I think it shouldnt be.  What am I reviewing?  Well that would ruin the surprise wouldnt it......suffice to say that what Darkness Falls is to The Horror Czar, this movie is to me.

Now then.  Ahem.....

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!  IIIIIIIITS.......

So sue me, I was bored last night.  lol.  It's nothing special.  I just sliced the bottom off a desktop background from the nbc site, cropped it a touch, and added a text box of Chiller Text in Paint.  Easy.  The original had those weird lines in it, btw.  I dunno.

And away we go.

0959PM:  I'm sorry but Last Comic Standing was WAAAAAY better before they drove it into the ground....but that's neither here nor there.

1000PM:  Scenes of an intense nature?  Wow, now THAT's an unwieldy euphemism.

1001PM:  PANCAKES!!!!!....sorry couldn't resist....they really have nailed that idyllic suburbia look thus far.  I don't know if it's the church, the house, the costume....just seems....suburban.  That's a compliment btw.

1002PM:  Remember kids...distracted driving is dangerous.....seeeeee?  And that is a fantastic touch.  the blood, the amazing grace. That was really good and lightly eerie.

1004PM:  a crucifix?  really?  wow that's creepy....looks like we've got our patented haley joel osment creepy kid quotient intact.

1005PM:  See...this is what happens when you START eerie and unsettling.  You get an entertaining ep, thus far.

1006PM:  This'll prolly do what masters of horror did in season 1.  Namely, win the emmy for best opening titles.

1007PM:  "Wanted" has so much potential, and I really hope it fulfills it.

1009PM:  I really hate this hidden camera talking VW ad.....and I'm only going to say this once.  Re:  The Baby Borrowers:  LEAVE THE DAMN MAURY PLOTLINES ON MAURY YOU IDIOTS.  DON'T TURN THEM INTO STUPID REALITY SHOWS OR TAGLINE THEM "IT'S NOT TV, IT'S BIRTH CONTROL"!....cough....rant over.

1011PM:  Ronny Yu btw, is our director of the week.  I personally liked Freddy vs. Jason, btw, so I have very high hopes for this.....nice, "family man" is the newspaper headline alias of the serial killer.  Awesome.

1012PM:  "Spiritual transmigration is a stunningly crappy defense."  Outstanding...lol

1013PM:  I kinda like the intensity of him trying to convince the lawyer.  Very nice, and not quite overacted.

1014PM:  COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.....

1015PM:  Set design victorious again for the prison walls.

1016PM:  God's will?  and that closet line is awesome.

1017PM:  The chemistry between these two is amazing.

1019PM:  See that?  Tennnsion.  Build tension and suspense before the commercial, and I don't mind waiting for it to come back.

1020PM;  Did I just see a rabbit steal 7Up and a woman destroy her ex's stuff with her teeth?  GOD commercial's have gotten weird.

1022PM:  OK, I just saw Tiki Barber v. Ed McMahon, Ice-T v. Joan Rivers, Raven-symone v. Wayne Newton, and Kathy Lee Gifford v. Dog the Bounty Hunter.  Celebrity Family Feud will....survey says!.....SUCK.

1023PM:  Why do I get the feeling the "tapes" will make the dvd release? lol

1024-1025PM:  Oh awesome.....church.  lol.  This whole scene is a brilliant blend of humor and a dash of dramatic irony.

1027PM:  Wow, he's a niiiice man.

1028PM:  Well, that was a stupid thing for you to do, idiot.

1029PM:  Shreveport?  But....hes in ohio.........i'll let it go.  And that was nicely twisted.

1030PM:  Well thats an interesting wrinkle to the story.  It's a different way of telling it, and I think I like it.  Not everyone will, but I do. 

1032PM:  I'm loving this sense I'm getting of these two characters and their traits.  They work so damn beautifully together.

1033PM:  Oh yeah, that's helpful.  First you spoil the Robert Downey Jr. cameo in the trailers for Hulk, now in the new one, you ruin theLou Ferrigno one.  Keep it up.  Why don't you just show the dang ending and save us the trouble?

1035-1036PM:  Hmm...James Taylor at the PNC Bank center.....I don't think I can yell no loudly enough to convey my displeasure.

1037PM:  I'm loving the sense of tension that's just simmering throughout this whole ep.

1038PM:  This ep has a fantastic script......and abu ghraib references anyone?

1039PM:  "You're embarassing"  wow these fish out of water-esque scenes are really good and funny in a darkly comic way. 

1040PM:  Skabetti?  Ok, I'm not sure if I find the little girl more creepy...or annoying.  Cute.  But annoying.

1041PM:  God, I love these family scenes.  On some level this ep seems kinda like a kindred ep with Family from Season 2.

1044PM:  Ok, really.  Just stop.  I honestly think they've reached the bottom of the celbrity barrel, busted through it, and dug 8 feet into the dirt below with the people on the celebrity family feud things.  I could be wrong.  But jeez.  The kardashians?  The Girls next door?  REALLY?

1047PM:  Now that was a nice touch.  I honestly didn't see that coming....the public record thing.

1048PM:  Ok, I just think Amazing grace is an inherently creepy song when done right.  As like this.  Brilliant use of music/sound.

1050PM:  WOW that's twisted.  lol. *standing ovation*

1051PM:  I took that online challenge.  Got a 4 out of 10.  Questions were oddly specific.  Surprisingly good quiz.

1052PM:  I'll be seeing Get Smart tomorrow.  My mom saw it in sneak preview, said it was hilarious.  But I will be the judge of THAT!

1053PM:  If The Baby Borrowers is successful, I swear I will lose all faith in the American tv viewing public.

1054PM:  All right, lets see this twist that I'm supposed to not see coming.  I know what I think it is, but I'm thinking I'm gonna be wrong at the moment.

1055PM:  Oh THATS convenient.  Of course that's where he is.

1056PM:  I really hope they didnt just cgi those utensils.

1056PM 2:  I'm not really thinking I'm wrong anymore......lol.

1058PM:  Ok, not quite what I thought it was gonna be....but damn close.  lol.  Great ending.  Very Crypt-esque.

1059PM:  I'm liking the look of next week's Landis ep.  Preview had some good imagery.

OVERALL:  An outstanding episode.  As good, if not better, than The Sacrifice.  By having tension to begin with and a storyline with tension inherent in it, the commercial breaks mattered less as I was engrossed in the story.  This episode worked for me on just about every level. Good acting, good set design, great chemistry in the cast, a dash of dark humor, just a brilliant brilliant ep.  Ronny Yu should be very proud of this.

And, btw.  I'll be going to the Saturday and Sunday of the Fangoria convention this weekend and I'm planning to do a site report blog as soon as I can afterwards.

Until next time, I bid you dark dreams.
