...Quill talks horror and upcoming fun...

Things are going well all over the place.

@Heather: Last night…wow. The one-two combo of delicious tuna melts and mind-blowing sex makes for a VERY happy Steve. I can’t wait for steak and sex day. Love you!

There are tons of horror flicks crawling out of from under the woodwork, and I’m blissfully drowning in them. I highly recommend “Darkness”, “White Noise”, and “Constantine”. I DO NOT recommend “Devil’s Rejects” (sequel to the abortion-on-film “House of 1000 Corpses”) or the sequel to “House of the Dead”. I can’t wait to see “Hide and Seek”, “House of Wax”, and “Boogeyman”. I also have mentioned the new Friday the 13th film that’s in the works, with Tarentino rumored to be directing. And I’m really looking forward to “Ring Two”. And lest we not forget Romero's "Land of the Dead"...oh yes.

I was able to get my grubby mitts on a script treatment for the now dead “Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash” film; it was in the works to be the sequel to “Freddy vs. Jason”. Sam Raimi opted out of it because he wants to [eventually] do a fourth installment in the “Evil Dead” franchise, and thus, it died on the table. However, this script treatment…dear God in heaven, it’s excellent. Reading through it, it pisses me off to NO END that it’s not being made, because it was the perfect horror flick. It just got me drooling for the film. I respect Raimi’s wishes to do another movie with Ash, but MY GOD, what a movie this would have been! If anyone wants to read it, I have it to send to you. You won’t be disappointed.

Sword fighting will begin as soon as the weather is more stably warm.

Dave’s birthday is coming up. The weekend of the 19th seems a good time to plan something and go out. I’ll be organizing the festivities with Dave soon, and will contact people about what we’re doing, if anything.

And now, TRUTH! TRUTH! TRUTH!:

President Bush has just re-nominated 20 highly partisan, pro-corporate candidates for the U.S. Courts of Appeals -- the second highest courts in the land. All 20 of these nominees already been rejected by Senate Democrats, compared to over 200 approved, because they so consistently favor special interest greed over the rights of average Americans. They were stopped before, they should be stopped again.
