How's it going lurkers? Today, I have a creepy, skin-crawling cartoon
for you all.
Just a quick reminder, if you're an arachnophobic like I
am, you will freak out watching this animated short. It's called
Deadtime Stories.
Deadtime Stories was a rejected
Horror Pilot by MTV. It was written by Breehn Burns and Michael Dougherty.Deadtime Stories was ~ 8-minute pilot about a girl named,
Ebola.
Ebola was recently released from an insane
asylum for being plagued with visions of monsters. She begins
questioning if her visions are real. Ebola talks to her reflection in
the mirror and learns, that her neighbors across the street are abusive
to their daughter.
The protagonist's parents are dismissive of
whatever she tells them because they believe she is insane.
Eventually,
her mother gives her a Gingerbread Cookie and sends her to their
neighbor's house to meet them. After watching Deadtime Stories, I am
reeling!
I CANNOT believe that I have NEVER seen
this pilot, until this morning! The fact that MTV premiered this Horror Animated Short and knew NOTHING about it is mind-blowing! I was still watching MTV in 2007.
Then again, I was also recovering from my own health scare, shortly
after graduating from Carthage College in 2006.
Those,
who are currently in charge of MTV, are complete dumb asses for letting
go of artistic content. Had Deadtime Stories been created during the
'90s, it surely would've had an audience, unlike today's era of
stupidity.
When MTV is not cramming stupid, spoiled
whores, that don't know anything about how to use birth control on
reality shows down our throats, it's airing low browed, frat boy
tomfoolery. MTV becomes a bigger disgrace by the seconds! Anyway, here is Deadtime Stories.
How's it going lurkers? Hopefully all is well on your ends. This past
week was a little better than the last 3 weeks. However, it wasn't
fantastic. I'm still being more reclusive on and offline. Just the other
day, I began brainstorming a list to publish in a new blog. It's something
I plan on sharing here.
Luckily, I have been
in a more "zen" mood before the start of this week. I didn't have a
chance to listen to any more Enya. Although, listening to Tool's albums
Undertow, Aenima, and Lateralus put me more at ease.
Before I forget, if you're in the mood to listen to bands fronted by Maynard James Keenan check out the link below:
To
be honest, I am more of A Perfect Cicle fan than I am of Tool.
Regardless, listening to Tool put me at ease. This was partly because I
was checking out something, that a Xangan friend and subscriber shared
on her Facebook wall. Talk
about '90s nostalgia.
Honestly, I don't care what people
say. The '80s and '90s had much better music than these last 10 years.
Every music genre was heard on local radio stations and everything in
music wasn't about pushing a political agenda.
During
the mid-90's, I liked listening to Green Day. That was until they
suddenly became a self-righteous, politically divisive, sellout,
Pop-Punk band in 2004.
Speaking of '90s music and
radio stations, I always hated that radio stations contributed to making bands
1-Hit Wonders. Take Danzig, for example.
Within
the last 2 decades, the man has released 9 albums YET all the Rock
stations only want to play is "Mother!" Like seriously? C'mon! As much
as I liked listening to "Mother," it's NOT the only Danzig song in
existence.
It was not until I started hosting my own
radio show during college, that more local listeners began hearing
other Danzig songs like "Wicked Pussycat" and "Angel Blake" from Glenn Dazig's 2002 album, I
Luciferi. Both MTV and Fuse TV use to air Danzig's music videos. This cannot be said about local Rock stations here in WI.
During
1995, I used to stay up until midnight to see the music video for
"Cantspeak" on MTV. Until this very day, "Cantspeak" is STILL my
favorite song from Danzig. The music video was directed by Fred Stuhr. Stuhr
is mostly known for directing Tool's music videos.
Supposedly, when
Fred Stuhr was in the process of shooting Danzig's music video for
"Cantspeak," Stuhr"wanted to create a sense of someone being trapped,
someone who can't speak. He's not alive or dead. He's just an ideal, a
soul, an existence floating in and out of this time, this reality."
Anyway, here is Danzig's "Cantspeak" for today's Song Saturday.
How's it going lurkers? You may recall that I mentioned publishing a lengthy blog on JournalHome, last week.
In case you missed it last
Tuesday, I published a JournalHome blog about a rabid One Piece zealot,
who posted death and rape threats on Adult Swim's Toonami sub-forum.
There were 2 other Toonami posters he called out, that I had personal
conflicts with in the past both on Adult Swim's forum and on Facebook.
That Moose poster's rant was
hilarious. In
that same blog above, I addressed specific problems with Toonami sycophants,
Weeaboos, and Anime Otakus.
If you have not already, I encourage you to
read that blog, whenever you the chance.
Considering
that I am already on the topic of this psychopath, he would be labeled a
One Piece Tard. I was on YouTube earlier, and stumbled upon a video by
YouTube vlogger, ForneverWorld. ForneverWorld gave an explanation about the differences between Anime tards and fanboys.
After watching this YouTube vlog, I would consider myself to be an
Anime fan. I never thought I was a fangirl or a tard. Since the time of watching Robotech
as a toddler, during the mid-80's, I have always
loved watching Japanese animation.
However, I DON'T live and breathe Anime to the extent of committing murder, rape, or
suicide over it unlike that Moose poster on the Toonami sub-forum. It
seems like more people today have lost a grip on reality.
Originally,
entertainment was meant to be "Escapism." Today's entertainment is
mostly political propaganda. We can't enjoy anything for the sake of
enjoying it. Political activists, media critics, watchdog groups, and
even some educators are mostly to blame for ruining entertainment.
Their need to nitpick, politicize, and psychoanalyze everything to death is highly repulsive.
Yes,
we SHOULD be able to analyze and comprehend what we are reading,
watching, and listening to. At the same time, we should STILL be able to
enjoy books, movies, shows, and music. They are called "entertainment"
for a reason!
Sometimes I ask myself, "Was joining
____ forum a good idea?"
Within the last 1-6 years, I have only joined 2
entertainment forums. I always believed it would be great to socialize
with people online, who supposedly shared the same interests and views
as mine about favorite shows. So far, it hasn't been that great of an
experience.
Don't get wrong, I really do enjoy
talking to other fans and I especially miss some of my old friends from
the last forum we joined, before it shut down.
All
the while, certain fandoms CAN be insufferable tards about certain
characters, shows, actors, voice actors, etc. It makes some of us fans
of a certain genre(s) feel ashamed to be fans of them. That is the major
problem. This especially applies to being an Anime fan.
Much
like it was to be a Horror fan decades ago, being an Anime fan is
frowned upon. Anime and Horror have been demonized for decades because
people outside of both genres were brainwashed into believing we are
sociopathic extremists.
I am both an Anime and
Horror fan. Therefore, I have the worst of both worlds. Some will assume
I'm a homicidal maniac over my Anime and Horror. That's not including a
"devil worshiper." Gotta love it.
Because I am
already on the topics of both Anime and Horror, I have the Seinen Horror
Action Anime, Devil May Cry for today. Devil May Cry is based on the
Capcom Video Game. I have never played any of the video games because
I'm not a gamer.
Despite that, I remember watching a
YouTube vlog 3 years ago and learned that the creator of the video
games changed Dante's physical appearance. He used to have white hair.
Now, his hair's black.
In the Devil May Cry Anime,
Dante is a part demon and human mercenary. He is also a
struggling business owner, who specializes in hunting demons.
Based
on what I learned, when I originally watched Devil May Cry years ago,
the series had introduced 2 newer characters (J.D. Morrison and Patty
Lowell). J.D. Morrison is Dante's agent, who finds Dante jobs and Patty
Lowell is the orphaned heiress, that Dante saves. Anyway, here is Devil
May Cry.
