Random crap with Uno.

   Not a good day...Not sure if migraine or pollution related.

Stupidly early lighting test. 

I know it really doesn't look like anything in particular, but we learned a ton: 

1 light system is going to work. 
Head is very secure to the neck (a system I keep improving on)
Neck-body connection idea is solid.
Need to sculpt out the back of neck, not just leave it to the corpsing., possibly put a base for the front as well. 
The light is able to be much further down the throat than expected.

Watched The Visit over the weekend with the two younger kids. 

It was suitably creepy for both of them and had them going.

Not exactly 'found footage', but one of the kids is an aspiring film maker and filming everything, thus our window to the world.  I believe M Night uses this to completely spoof a lot of his perceived shortcomings with 'creative' angles and odd focusing and other critiques you hear of him purposely done by the 'film maker' with commentary on why she is doing it.  I'm pretty sure there was even a joke about Lady in the Water's story tossed in. At least I think it was intended as a joke. 

Scare wise, it had both the kids going for the duration, but it's no nightmare inducer. 


One oddity. 

The printing on the disc said the movie was rated R.  Redbox said it was PG13.  The movie was PG13.  This is the 3rd instance of the disc being printed wrong at redbox I'm aware of.  WTF?

BTW BU,

Lizzy Borden Chronicles is on Netflix.  Almost through it.  I'm now officially sold on the Ricci > Morticia Addams idea, but cringe at the thought of watching another Gomez...

[Buster's Uncle]

Again - Ms. Ricci is creepy, spooky, and altogether a cutie.  It would totally work.

Gomez would be a challenge...  I always thought John Ashton stunk up the place, but nobody wants to follow Raul Julia at anything.

Messed up weekend upcoming.

The circus is in town for midnight Sunday morning....

Just heard theres a new King Kong movie in the works setting up for a Kong vs Godzilla...

[Buster's Uncle]

Mylochka's ex-husband was Linda Hamilton's driver on King Kong Lives!

(Also, Schwarzenegger's wardrobe for Raw Deal (It was still Triple Identity at the time - I saw a script) spent a night in our driveway...)

Mylochka's ex-husband was Linda Hamilton's driver on King Kong Lives!

Wow.   Just...

That ranks down there with queen kong as all but unwatchable. 

[Buster's Uncle]

[shrugs] He just drove Sarah Connor around on that picture.

SO - what's the thinking behind the big skull you're working on?

[Buster's Uncle]

...And anything to report on those real Star Trek episodes I named?...

[Unorthodox]

See the messed up weekend.  I didn't immediately find an avenue to view the episodes and have been busy. 

The skull...well, all of halloween might get put on hold (more on that later)... but I'll try to finish the Bone Mother there.

Meanwhile off to the circus.

[Buster's Uncle]

I usually enjoy DC clips, but it's not like I can understand the words, and not being able to watch them perform takes most of the entertainment out of it for me.

[Unorthodox]

Yeah, I can't find a good copy on that one.  There's 3 versions, and non of them have the actual video. 

Main lyric is "Fa La La It's off to hell we go."  Sang WAY too chipper in a round.  I find it fitting for many things I may not be thrilled about.
