OMG, this is one of the best videos I’ve seen mixing content, dialogue, mood, etc. Here are The Muppets remixed to the trailer for Rob Zombie’s House of 1000 Corpses. I love it.

Happy Halloween again folks!

BONES Recap: Halloween Episode
BONES Recaps With MEL
Episode 3.05 “The Mummy In The Maze”

Okay, so the case of the week was pretty much run of the mill- A mummy was found in a kid’s Halloween maze, and Booth and Bones try to figure out whodunnit. It turned out that The killer would kidnap a 14-15 year old girl on Halloween, mummify her, then place her where he abducted her the next Halloween. Which: creepfest. Bones and Booth were prematurely focused on two adults who worked at the carnival where another mummy was found (the guy was played by Rider Strong, and it was like watching Boy Meets World all over again, except Cory Matthews never mummified Topanga), but it turns out that the EMT- who dressed up as a killer clown (way to bring that back, writers!)- would abduct the girls (who got kind of beat up by Shawn Hunter and the face-piercing chick) from his ambulance, and bring them to his gross lair underneath the subway. In the end, Booth and Brennan found the abducted girl, though Booth had to shoot EMT/Killer Clown to keep her and Brennan esafe. It was a pretty good case overall, and that last showdown with Booth and Killer Clown had me pretty nervous.

Angela and Jack’s private eye (played by Azura Skye, whom I loved on Buffy and Judging Amy and Zoey, Duncan, Jack & Jane, and think is just beautiful and amazing and I love her) was Fan-Frakkin-Tastic- she found Angela’s husband, and hilariously says, “He was pleasant. Very pleasant. I mean, WOW.” and later, “Did I mention he’s the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen? Don’t blame me- P.I. Code, keep it real.” Angela’s husband refuses her a divorce, and built a “whimsical cottage” for her, but it doesn’t make her falter one bit. She’s determined to marry Jack, which she tells P.I., who then is able to assure Jack that Angie’s almost definitely not gonna leave him for this guy, even though he’s a perfect 10 to the 10th power, and Jack’s “a solid 7.5.” Hee!

Onto the costumes: Have there really ever been much better on TV? Uh, NO. Angela was a fabulous Cher, Zach was the cutest and saddest little cow behind I’ve ever seen, Hodgins was quite dashing as the doomed captain of the Titanic, and Cam looks flawless as usual dressed up as Batman’s nemesis and sometimes-lover, Catwoman. As for Booth and Bones? Swooooon. When I first saw the episode stills a few weeks back, I really thought that Booth had dresed up as Clark Kent, which would’ve been totally hot with Our favorite anthropologist following in Roz’s footsteps and donning a Wonder Woman costume. And can I just say? Damn, does Emily Deschanel have a smokin’ bod or what?! Girlfriend looks amazing. She really seemed to be having tons of fun with her costume- I was tickled by the little spin at the end, and the “Ching! Ching!” move with her bracelets. Apparently, Brennan dresses like Woman Woman every year, but this was the first year Booth had ever seen her in costume:

Brennan [in the other room, changing]: Don’t you have to put on your costume?
Booth: Already did. I got the profile of the killer from Sweets.
Brennan: You mean Dr. Sweets.
Booth: Well, it’s only theory, Bones. I mean, it’s what he’s best at. I mean, he’s only twelve. Sweets says the killer is definitely a male.
Brennan: Oh, Greg is a male.
Booth: No, no, Grey and Lola worked their sick little thing together. Sweets says that the killer works alone, he has a respectable blue collar job. In his public life, he’s into saving people, he unmarried… Oh, he has a police or military background.
Brennan [emerges from changing room dressed as Wonder Woman]: You do realize that Sweets is describing you, right?
Booth [stares at Bones]: Wow.
Brennan: How do I look?
Booth [stuttering]: I- Good. Wonder-ful. Get it?
Brennan: Yeah.
Booth: Cause you’re Wonder Woman.
Brennan: I know. What’re you supposed to be?
Booth: Oh, I’m a nerd-squint. [In squeaky voice, while pulling out a calculator] Um, what is the rationale behind that conclusion?

I can’t seem to get enough of Booth dressed up as a squint- it’s all kinds of hot. There was an interview on Youtube with David and Emily, and he said he originally want to dress up as, like, a giant piece of pizza or something. Emily complimented his costume, and the two had all kinds of chemistry and were all giggly and cute, which really translates on-screen during their one-on-one time:

[Both are dirty and tired] Brennan: We could be Wonder Woman and, uh… what’s Superman’s secret identity?
Booth: Clark Kent.
Brennan: Yes, we could be Wonder Woman and Clark Kent after a really, really bad date.
Booth: Yeah, bad date because you shot me.
Brennan: It was only a flesh wound, and you dropped me on my head!
Booth: After you shot me! Okay, I think I got you on this one. Okay, Wonder Woman?
Brennan: [softly] Sorry you had to kill someone. I know you hate that.
Booth: Yeah, he had it comin’.
Brennan: You hate it. I’m sorry that happened to you.
Booth: We saved the girl- that’s a pretty good date.
Brennan: Except not really a date.
Booth: I know.
Brennan: It was work. Not a date.
Booth: Really, really hard work.
Brennan: We’re not really Wonder Woman and Clark Kent, we’re Brennan and Booth.
Booth: Look, you’re the one who brought up the date analogy.
Brennan: [smiles at Booth, who smiles back] You hungry?
Booth: Yeah.
Brennan: Yeah, me, too.
Booth: Let’s go grab a bite to eat.

Now, I’m a comic book geek to the max, but I can’t think of a day that I’d ever choose Wonder Woman and Clark Kent over Brennan and Booth. So, do y’all concur vehemently that Wonder Woman kicks Catwoman’s ass, or were you too busy drooling over Booth’s sexy taped nerd glasses? Spill!

DIRTY SEXY MONEY continues to be a fun viewing experience each week and tonight we’re given a very skin-tastic viewing of guest star EDDIE CIBRIAN . He’ll be playing Sebastian, one of Karen’s ex-husbands. Hot damn!

Good morning all, it’s Halloween and I’m so excited because while I don’t dress up today I absolove this holiday! I love seeing the little kids roaming the streets in their outfits. I love seeing teens screaming for their lives as a man in a mask stalks them from house to house eventually killing them and leaving their bloody mangled mess of a body for their friends to find. Good times!

Here’s a clip from my all time favorite film, the scariest mother effer of all time… John Carpenter’s 1978 masterpiece HALLOWEEN. This scene is the ending portion of the one that scares the living shit out of me more than the others. The impending doom created by the angles, the pacing, and the music is sincerely creepy. Enjoy!

CHUCK’s Captain Awesome schooled Morgan in the ways of adulthood and he posed a very important question for each of us to ponder…

AM I A TUCKER?
CHUCK T-Shirt: “Am I A Tucker?”

IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN, CHARLIE BROWN airs tonight at 8pm on ABC and I’m feeling all warm and fuzzy just thinking about it. Nostalgia overload with this special. Good times.

Enjoy a clip to entice you until tonight’s big show!

Oh Sam Weir how I miss you…

Don’t forget to watch tonight’s Halloween themed episode with Bones decked out in a Wonder Woman outfit and deflecting bullets with her bracelets! Looks incredible. Also, don’t forget to check out Mel’s BONES recaps.

In honor of TWIN PEAKS being released today on DVD, I thought I’d share a horrifying clip from this show’s genius catalog. Sure it’s not really a horror film clip but noone can deny that there are terrifying and horrific visions from Twin Peaks.

This one combines one of my favorite Peaks moments, the lip-synch “Rock Back Inside My Heart” from Donna which then leads to Agent Cooper having one of his Tall Man visions as miles away Bob reveals himself to poor Maddy. It’s sad, it’s horrific, and it’s incredibly beautiful.

*Spoiler Alert! (15 years late)

TWIN PEAKS: The Definitive Gold Box Edition - Ducky Style

Today is the Day!

TWIN PEAKS: The Definitive Gold Box Edition DVD set will be released TODAY OCTOBER 30th and it is the only box set you need to own. It features everything we Twin Peaks fans have always wanted including the never released in America PILOT on DVD!

So get your smiling body bags ready, your new shoes *spurt* on, your porch floor boards nailed down, and get ready for the creepiest and most original television show of my generation.

I left my notes and quotes at home so this post isn’t going to be nearly as exciting as I wanted it to be but I quick had to note that I was finally able to watch some TV live last night and caught my two favorite comedies HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and BIG BANG THEORY which of course made me chuckle. Chuckle… I also watched CHUCK!

On HIMYM, I loved how Lily had this secret shopping addiction and so much credit card debt that she had to shop more to forget about it. Robin called Lily’s wardrobe into question which was pretty perfect because people on sitcoms always dress like they have designer money without the job to accomodate. Same here, Lily’s a public school kindergarden teacher but she’s busting out the runway duds. It was a fun way to call out the obvious ridiculous nature of wardrobe on television.

Ted Mosby Porn Star was pretty damn great, as was Barney using their house as a location for Ted’s newest porn film. Doppleganger/Dopplebanger! The interview AVW mis-up was expected but still had me howling. The last couple HIMYM episodes have been great, I hope it continues.

Over on Big Bang Theory, Penny was throwing a halloween party and the boys had to face their first social excursion with real live normal folk. From the multiple Flash costumes to the Doppler Effect all the way to Raj bedding the drunk girl, I laughed my ass off. This show delivers more laughs for me than most other shows on television. Sure it has it’s cheesy moments but overall Big Bang kicks ass!

Chuck was a blast last night but I was left wondering when something would happen on this show. Every week it’s the same formula and nothing has really changed. Chuck and Sarah flirt and there are trust issues, Casey’s the big lug and the fat kid in every joke, Morgan has latent homosexual tendencies toward Chuck, Chuck doesn’t have enough time for Ellie or Morgan, Ellie swoons over her brother… I need something huge to shake this show up and quick.

Hopefully that’s coming next week when Bryce Larkin returns and we learn how he got Chuck expelled when Chuck flashes on himself.

That’s not to say I didn’t really like Chuck last night. Zac Levi continues to be one of the funniest comedic presences on television this fall and I do love the flirting between he and Sarah. Morgan all suited up would have made Barney proud. Captain Awesome half naked again is something I’ll never shy away from and I pray they continue that trend. The guy playing Laszlo last night was fun and an interesting character study of what Chuck could ultimately become if things were different.

I had the chance to watch HEROES and I just didn’t care. How horrible is that? I haven’t had much sleep since Friday so this was my chance to just hit the hay. Now if HEROES was still amazing and blowing my mind each week, I wouldn’t have been able to sleep without seeing it, so that say something. I’ll catch up tonight probably.

*Update: I plan on going home tonight and putting up all the quotes and specific moments that were my faves so check back because the more I talk about it with folks here at work, the more amazing all of these shows were last night and it pains me to not give specific moments to chat about with you guys.

*Update 2: Here are the notes and some of my favorite more specific moments from the shows…

HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER:

  • Robin’s Jude Law anxious run-on
  • Robin: “I know what kind of plane that is… it’s a boing!”
  • BIG BANG THEORY:

  • Leonard: “Those were some over confident, pre-adolescent Jews.”
  • Loved learning that Leonard’s middle name is Leaky!
  • Sheldon’s wiggle and whoosh noise when he would explain his Doppler Effect costume.
  • So there’s this theory online that Sheldon’s gay and last night’s episode didn’t help that much. He stared and stared at Penny’s ex-boyfriend half nude at the party.
  • Sheldon: “Given the reaction to my costume, this party is a scathing reflection on the public education system.”
    Kurt: “You’re a zebra right?”
    Sheldon: “Yet another child left behind!”
  • Leonard: “That’s how we roll in The Shire.”
  • CHUCK:

  • The “green shirts” playing Mystery Crisper with a shirtless Morgan!
  • Big Mike: “Tang had the charm of a prostate exam.”
  • Chuck and Sarah’s Comic-Con photo, just simply perfection.
  • “Am I a Tucker?”
  • The WARGAMES shout-out!
  • .

    I live in a town that is way too obsessed with sports. I can actually with all the truth in my bones state that I hate sports. I hate sporting events, I hate the mass hysteria and I hate how everyone co-opts it as their own. “We” didn’t win anything, a group of overpaid men called a team won something with a talent and a skill, “we” meaning you and I and every other jamoke on the street didn’t win anything.

    Sorry, had to get that out as the Red Sox rally parade begins in a couple hours and already at 7am this thing has ruined my day and my commute to work. I had to wait for 3 trains to come through before I could get on and start my day. Why? I have to attribute it to the Red Sox rally. I think people didn’t want to drive in to work so that they could leave and watch the rally this afternoon and not worry about parking, etc. I don’t know but 7am is early for people to be heading down for this thing.

    As I got off downtown, there was a lovely walking fenced off detour so everyone doesn’t crowd around the station near Tremont street where the parade comes through. I think that’s fine and dandy but there were already a ton of people lining the streets at baracades and it was just a pain in the ass.

    I’m glad they won because the chaos and violence of them losing wouldn’t have been fun either but I’ll be glad when this is over.

    Good morning.

    It’s Monday morning and I’m still sad to report that I’m so far behind on shows it’s ridiculous. I should give up writing a TV Blog considering I barely have enough to write about given I’ve not seen crap over the past week.

    Still have not seen FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS from this week and I missed last night’s BROTHERS & SISTERS as well.

    I did watch HEROES with Kristen Bell over the weekend and I thought the episode as a whole was much better than it has been all season. I’m just so over the Hiro/Takezo storyline, it bores me to tears and if the person trying to kill the elders is anyone other than Takezo Kensei, I will be disappointed. Also, can we kill that Molly chick already, over her pug face and bad acting. On a positive note, I’m loving Micah’s cousin and her ability is kick ass! Literally. KBell, I’m glad to see you and is there anyone that doesn’t think her Father is Bob and her Mom Joanna Cassidy who’s next to Bob in the photo? Love Joanna Cassidy! I hope they get to her soon. Oh yeah, white eyes Painter Peter is always a welcomed throwback to last season… a look back at better times for HEROES. Pull it together gang!

    Last night was our Halloween Horror Marathon at The Coolidge and it was a great success. We had a couple hundred people show for the 12 hour fest and it was so much bloody fun. We only had to call the cops on one teenage douche which was sad because honestly who doesn’t love busting some drunken tards at 4 a.m.? I only had to emcee a couple times, I was the Vanna of the night, handing out prizes for most of it and such. I lasted until about 8 a.m. before I wanted to just pass out. Overall, a big success once again for our annual Horror Marathon.

    So, with my 3 hours of sleep in the last 2 days, I bring you another Horror clip favorite of mine. This is from The Blair Witch Project and I know I’ve already lost some of you but fuck it… I got an advance screener of this film about 6 months before it came out in theaters and the original cut I saw was a little different from the theatrical version and it scared the living bejesus out of me. I had 10 friends over and we all sat in my living room and watched it.

    I kid you not when I say that the clip you’re about to watch left my eyes watering because I was so in that paradigm and I believe in ghosts and all that crap so this just sent me over the edge. This is the ending of BWP and the part where my heart sank and my eyes welled was when Heather comes around the corner to find Mike in the corner. LOST MY SHIT!

    Whatever, laugh all you want but in 1998 this was months and months before it came out and it was at the height of its internet buzz and I’m a believer…

    Gearing up for the ghoulish holiday of Halloween, I thought I’d throw in some delightful horror film clips.

    Today, I thought I’d give you all the deaths from Friday the 13 Part 2 which had my favorite Friday heroine, the amazingly strong (minus that mouse peeing scene) Amy Steele. That’s her in the dirty sweater at the end. I’m still convinced she was a lesbian… Paul my ass.

    Vegas it was not folks, but the boys did head to a town that somehow had just as many whores and debauchery in last night’s SUPERNATURAL episode entitled “Sin City.”

    The episode opened in a church and instantly I was excited because the only thing I like about churches is that shows and movies always have plenty of blood, gore and screaming in them. I like to think that’s what really goes on in those garish houses. I was in luck because this opener delivered. A man up in the balcony tells the Priest and a Nun that God doesn’t live here anymore then he blows his brains out! LOVES IT! The Nun’s scream was one of the best I’ve heard in a long time. Go Nun with your bad self!

    The boys are at Bobby’s working on the Colt and being smart-asses as usual when they decide to take off to this supposed old run down factory town that turns out to be anything but. There’s tons of Prostitutes and the town’s being overrun by violence, sex, and other naughty bits. They run into one of Dean’s old hunting buddies, Richie who’s kinda like Dean but Italian and not good looking. He’s the Supernatural Soprano and in town for the same reason…

    Well partially. He’s also way into the dozens of red or pink outfitted whores roaming the town and one of them brings his demise. The dark haired bartender at Trotter’s not only makes a mean Hurricane, she’s good with the snapping of necks.

    Back at Bobby’s, Ruby makes an appearance, makes her Demon-ness known and Bobby shoots her in the gut with the Colt. Too bad the thing’s just not back to it’s original bad ass working condition. Ruby offers to help fix it.

    Back in Whore Town, Dean works his charm on the dark haired bartender then follows her home. Lucky for Dean, he was already onto her neck nasty and trapped her in one of their infamous demon binding circles. Sadly for Dean, bitch has some mental powers like no ones business and traps them in the basement to rot.

    Dean tries to find out what the main agenda is for all the demon’s that have been dancing around in the pale moonlight now that the Devil’s Gate has been opened and she basically tells him that there are different agendas for different demons. YED was the ringleader of sorts so now that he’s gone, it’s a free for all and Sammy seems to be the Grand Poobah. We’ve heard that before, gotta get to the bottom of this soon!

    Sammy meets up with the Priest who has a hankerin’ for some booze, broads, and blood. They go to rescue Dean only to have one hell of a holy war between themselves. In the end Bobby shows up with the Colt, Sammy shoots them dead and we’re left wondering once again if this is the same Sam Winchester we know and love.

    I know that’s a way more simple version of what happened but you get the idea.

    Sam and Ruby have a stand-off because to be honest, he’s had it with her Demon Douchery. She tells him to shoot her but he can’t. He wants and needs her help with the whole Crossroads deal not to mention he’s in dire need of pointing out he’s not as evil as everyone thinks he is… he regrets those demon deaths and that’s why we love Sammy! As it comes to a close, Ruby tells Sam to toughen up because in order to save Dean there’s going to be a lot of collateral damage… I’m ready for the carnage, are you guys?

    Here are some of my favorite quotes of the night:

    Dean: “Richie, bringing Satin back!”

    Dean: “Let me out of here bitch, you’re still trapped…”
    Demon: “So are you… Bitch!”

    And my favorite from last night:

    Demon: “You Winchester boys are famous. Not Lohan famous but, you know…”
