Exit Mundi: a collection of end of the world scenarios
There are plenty of ways for us to go kerblooey. I think I’ll start with our survival shelter preparations today. I wonder if the strata for this townhouse complex would mind if we dug up the backyard? It is common property after all. I guess it would also add some resale value to our home having a concrete bunker buried in the backyard. Are you ready for the apocalypse? As my luck goes its probably already happened and I missed it.
At a funeral? LMAO!

The Globe and Mail: Teen arrested in dragging death
This community, although small, seems to be a haven for criminals. There’s always something: drug murders, marijuana grow ops, a little boy mauled to death by his drug addicted parents’ dogs, a little girl raped and murdered by a psycho and now this. The victim in this story was dragged 7.5 kilometers for $12.30 worth of stolen gas. The inner city with all its problems is far more attractive than this insanity. The ‘burbs suck.

Yahoo! News – ‘Friday’ Horror Draws Tarantino
That’s cool news. It will make it more watchable that’s for sure. Tarantino’s touch with a formula like that of Friday the 13th will be box office gold and a boost for the horror genre. Friday the 13th is a great example of a film franchise that, although extremely popular and financially successful, hasn’t exactly shaken the world with tight screenwriting or shakespearean calibre acting. People just ate them up. We all wanted to see the guy in the mask. Facing him off with Freddy Krueger? Brilliance!
What we’ve seen of late has gone a long way to drive horror back toward it’s former role of being for mindless youth only. No thinking person wants much to do with Van Helsing and it’s ilk Underworld and the latest Blade piece of poop. They’re just not good. They’re built on hackneyed characters from comic books in clichéd situations. They succeed because horror has a built in audience. Why else would they get made? Surely not because someone truly wants to make an entertaining film. I’m sure that idea is in there somewhere but it gets lost in the gigantic Hollywood money machine and all it’s focus groups.
What comes of a focus group? Stuido producer to director:
“It’s five minutes too long. Cut 5 minutes out of it. I don’t care which 5 minutes.”
Don’t laugh, it happens every day.
I’m personally looking forward to this. If it happens it will be an instant classi… as along as Tarantino is allowed to do his thing.
