- Odd and intense audience misbehavior to be had on tonight’s Real Time with Bill Maher. It reminded me slightly of a personal experience that occurred last Saturday night. No one cares what you have to yell.
- Simultaneous UFO (History Channel Jr.) and Chupacabra (Natty Gee….the Is It Real? program) docs on LATE. The “last” button got a nice workout! These channels certainly know how to synchronize their commercials.
- Don’t steal this idea, but I’ve always wanted to write a magazine piece about PG-13 horror films. Much to choose from tonight, including the hilarious Stay Alive.
- VH1 Classic’s 40 Greatest Metal Songs Of All Time is tough to watch. A perfect storm of base pop-cultural jokes, especially regarding the long infertile realm of 80’s Hair Metal.
- Nuns on the Run my friends, Nuns on the Run!!!
- Pet Sematary on HBO+, remembered only for the cringe-inducing Achilles tendon slice scene and a too-late-to-be-that-catchy Ramones song. You know, the movie is not THAT bad.

Odd and intense audience misbehavior to be had on tonight’s Real Time with Bill Maher.
The hecklers were part of the ‘9/11 Truth Movement’ which Maher loves to ridicule so now they’ve taken to harassing him in and out of the studio. I wonder if they have connections to the accidental comedy that is ENDGAME.
Don’t steal this idea, but I’ve always wanted to write a magazine piece about PG-13 horror films.
I saw Ghoulies when PG-13 was a brand new rating. The trailer had involved a ghoul in a toilet so I begged my mom to accompany/transport me to the theater on general principle. Definitely worth it.

“Sheena Is a Punk Rocker?” It’s from, like, 1977. You really think that’s late? Catchy, I’ll give you. Wait — you mean “I Don’t Want to Be Buried (In a Pet Sematary).” Holy crap, I almost forgot that song even existed!
Have you noticed that Sebastian Bach pronounces metal as mett-elle? Not very metal.

I’m a bit stymied by cable. I’m used to DirecTV, and their helpful listing of movies and such for 10-14 days in advance. This has now been replaced by cable, and on demand features. More options, it would seem, but less notification when things will actually air.
There’s nothing good on anyway

Also, I’ll co-author that PG-13 horror movie piece wit’cha.
