B-Movie Central Cheese Blog

Nothing special’s really been going on with me this month.  I’ve been playing a lot of music lately, and totally slacking off on getting my reviews done again.  I have to get through seven reviews in the next two days.  I should start on them tonight, but I’m really just not feeling it lately.  I’m not feeling like doing much of anything honestly.  Depression has become a constant state for me.  So much so in fact, that it just feels normal now.  I’ve forgotten what it feels like to not feel this way.  I have my good days and my bad days.  Mostly I just want to sleep all the time.  I wish something would change, because I’ve been trying to figure out for years how to make it change, and I can’t come up with anything.

Had a good friend I haven’t seen for ages now come for a short visit.  It was great hanging out with him, but our time was so limited, we really didn’t get to do much.  Still, we made use of the time we had.  Played music, watched movies, went out for a drink, etc….  He’s the only offline friend I’ve got, so only getting to see him for such a short time after all this time really sucks.  Now it’s back to my stale old life again.

On top of that, my wife’s going home to visit her family in Israel for a couple of weeks, so I’ll be totally alone here.  Just me and the dogs.  No where to go, nothing to do.  I’m really sick of my life.  I don’t even find any real joy in the things I used to enjoy doing anymore.  I just don’t know what to do about it.  I keep waiting for something really positive to happen that will drag me out of this funk, but one day is like the next, is like the next, and so on.

Sorry this post was such a downer.  That’s just my life and the way I’m feeling at the moment.

Hey folks.  I’ve posted a new review for Beginning of the End.  This gem from 1957 stars Peter Graves and is all about giant, radioactive locusts that are threatening to destroy Chicago.  My next review will be one that I’ve put off doing for a long time, though I’m not sure why.  It’s going to be for the film, Forbidden Planet.

Anyway, hope you all enjoy the new review.

So I was cruising Facebook today, like I usually do, when I saw that one of my friends posted this…

— If you cut here, you’ll probably destroy your monitor —

So, being bored, this is the comment I left in response…

I didn’t want to destroy my monitor, so I cut just below it. Michael Moore poked his head out of the hole and asked me for a sammich. Naturally I punched him in his little piggy nose. He cried and pulled his head back in, and then, a uni…corn came through it. It’s butt was all greasy and I could hear Neil Patrick Harris calling it from the other side. Quickly, I crazy glued the hole shut (the one in the monitor, not the unicorn’s butt), and then I rode the unicorn down to Papa Murphy’s and got us a pizza. One family sized hawaiian later, we were both laying around all stuffed, when suddenly the unicorn asked me to pull its horn. I did, and naturally it farted, but then something amazing happened. A smurf popped it’s head out of the unicorn’s butt and asked for some pizza. I told him we didn’t have any left, but that if he went back inside and waited a few hours, it could have the leftovers…and they’d still be hot. Ok…that’s enough now.

Yeah, that’s how I get when I’m bored.

Hey folks,

March is here already!  Can you believe it?  I can.  Time’s going so fast, I’ll probably be dead some time next week.  If I do die, at least I’ll have died knowing that I gave you all a great March issue before I kicked it!  Here’s what we have for you this month…

This Month’s Sleepover Girl:

Southern girl Gigi Henson stepped in on short notice as this month’s Sleepover Girl.  I’d like to extend a special thank you to her for that and to say that she’s been just a total sweetheart to work with.  Thanks Gigi!

Articles:

The name Kenneth Tobey may not be familiar to many of you, but to a young Phil Smolen, this guy was just amazing. He battled some of the greatest classic b-movie monsters of all time, and was just an all around man of action. This month, Phil gives us a look at the life and career of this wonderfully talented action hero.

Flipping over to the other side of the coin, Dusty McGowan makes his debut with us here at Rogue Cinema this month with an article all about the kinds of people he can really identify with in films. The anti-hero. These are the underdogs that always have a hard time, no matter what they do. I think most of us can identify with characters like that, and Dusty gives us some great examples of these anti-heroes from a variety of different films, and tells us what it takes to be the sad sack we’re all pullin’ for.

Danny Runion’s all about mashing up movies, just to see what comes smooshing out. This month, he’s got a whole new batch of movie mashups for us to enjoy!
