Let's all go to the movies!

This is a copy of the flyer we are using to promote our showing of A Nightmare On Elm St. Please share with everyone you can. I'm sorry for those of you that don't live in CA. But depending on how popular this becomes, we may come to your town too.

Watchmen review

Okay, okay so I am going to be a bit of a slacker on this only because I agree with most of this fantastic review a fellow LJ person wrote.

I take no responsibility for his language but I do warn you that if you haven't seen the film, this does include a LOT of spoilers.

All in all, I am glad I went to see it. But I don't foresee this being anything other than a spectacular nerd film that does awesome its first week and then sort of trickles off.

I have been wrong before, but we'll see.

I personally would have gone for the whole trilogy angle, just so you could include everything.

But in true Jack and I fashion, we give it 4 jack-o-lanterns since it is a overdue classic that needed to be celebrated in celluloid.

Anyone else see it? What are your views?

Tonight is going to be crazy!

Not only is the hotel sold out, but we are going to see the sneak preview of Watchmen at the Gardenwalk at 12:01am. Yeah, I know. But see, since we have an arrangement with the theater, we get to see it for free and in the 21 and over theater.

So that's awesome!

Oh, also we got a response about the Darkest Hours Undead experience. And the winner is: Nightmare On Elm St!



Turns out it hasn't been shown in a theater for almost 20 years. So that will be a huge buzz. Especially since it will be an actual print, not just a DVD. We are really going to push that for promotion.

We have a date scheduled of April 30th. We will be having an all ages and a 21 and over showing. Woohoo!

Now what will be happening is this: we are not getting a share of the box this time. But we will be able to have a merch booth and any proceeds from that go directly to us.

I will post more about the times soon. Keep your eyes peeled for that.

And I will post my review of Watchmen tomorrow.

UPDATE: The all ages show will be at 7pm and the 21 and over show will be at 9:30pm. Go to darkestjack.com to learn more soon.

I went on a date yesterday!

Let me explain. Now I will be posting the Sea World pics soon, but this just has to be written about first.

The mail comes and there is a card for Jack. He opens it and it's from his Mom. Inside are some gift cards for Carl's Jr. and two movie vouchers for AMC. So he says to me, "Would you like to go out to lunch and a movie with me?"

Of course I will! I love that he still asks me like we have only been together for a few months, not 7 years. So we go to the Block to have lunch and they have Coraline toys! Wow, that movie was amazing, but I had not seen any toys. So he buys me the set. How sweet!

Then we go to the theater. Now we had decided that since we get to go for free, let's go and see something we normally would just wait to see on DVD. So in the spirit of well, us, we go see Friday the 13th.

Oh boy, now I knew it would be different. We aren't really fans of the slasher genre of horror anyway, but we tried to give it a chance. But this was awful. The acting was terrible, the kills were boring (all 12 of them, 14 if you count the implied ones) and the side plot that was shoved into it didn't work at all.

The only thing that was great was that we were the only ones in the theater. So yes, we made some smart aleck comments. Jack and I were laughing throughout most of it. Jason was no longer this lumbering idiot. He was fast, sort of smart, and wow it only took him 20 years to finally figure out those pesky arts and crafts.

But you didn't care. That was sad. I wanted everyone to die. Even the "heroes" and heck even Jason. So when the big finale happened, it was meh. We did have a lot of fun though. Afterwards, we reviewed it and came to the conclusion of 3 and 1/2 jack-o-lanterns out of 5.

Only because if you are a fan of the series, it is just what you would expect. But don't rush out to see it. I'm just glad I didn't pay to watch.

Wow, does that sound cynical? It's not. I just have to know what someone's motivation is. Pinhead has one, Freddy has one, even Michael Myers has one. But Jason has been living at Camp Crystal Lake for over 20 years. Get over it, dude. Seriously.

That's just my opinion.

The Repo! show is up and screaming!

Yes, it is here, here for everyone's enjoyment! Go to www.darkestjack.com and see those interviews you've been waiting for.

We've got Ogre from Skinny Puppy, Alexa Vega, Bill Moseley, and many surprises in store.

It's an event you don't want to miss.

I'm very proud of it.

Come do the time warp with us!

So on Nov. 8th, we had the pleasure of going to Rocky Horror live. I finally got the pictures uploaded, so here's what we looked like.

My friends Amanda, Candy and I dancing before Rocky Horror began.



Jack, Fred, Candy, Bill ( who has been this ensemble's Brad forever) and me!



It was so fun and we cannot wait to go again!
