Slacker

Yes, I'm a total slacker lately with this blog. Christmas and all its festive activities came like a snowstorm in Las Vegas—sudden and catching me completely off guard in the midst of downing my third vodka tonic next to the pull while playing video poker.

So to all my friends out there I wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year.

To have a good send off to the old year, I wanted to point out how I'm hoping Evil Dead the Musical will come to my neck of the woods because that would really make 2009 for me. Yes, I'm a total sucker for musicals and horror movies, so this one really slays me both ways.

Also, my friend and fellow writer Karen turned me on to this site called The Editing Room. Essentially, people write and contribute scripts to movies—some are for horrible movies, some are just hated by the watcher—and they condense the movie down into a shorten version that gives you a true (and somewhat cynical) perspective of what the movie really is about. Think of it as a movie synopsis on crack. There are a few that I think pretty much nail the gist of the story, which is sad and funny at the same time. It doesn't say much about Hollywood's (or America's) taste in movies. I'll let you formulate your own opinions which ones those are ...

Enjoy!
