My cousin Joyce died. She's the one I'm very close with who also lives up this way. She was Simon's godmother. She'd had cancer and kidney failure and Parkinson's and various other ailments.
I'm glad she's not hurting anymore, but we're all pretty sad. She was a great person.
Haven't jumped into STD yet. (oh god. are people avoiding that acronym?)
Screened Cabin in the Woods for the boys last night. It's the most violent movie I've let them see, but I knew they would eat up the story with a spoon.
I was correct, they loved it. Clapped at the end.
A_____ requested permission to attend a Halloween party next weekend in Pennsylvania (i think there is a girl involved) and I of course said yes. So last night was our family Halloween.
Actually, I could do this all day... meta horror flicks are among my faves.
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon is terrific, too. It's a mockumentary about an aspiring slasher villain. It starts as a lampoon, then takes a hard turn into actual slasher film. Very fun.
Heck, they could even watch Scream. The sequels muddied its rep a bit, but it's still a terrific little movie.
We've watched the first two episodes of STD. The wifey and I enjoyed it, but Little S. took it badly when the captain died, and now refuses to keep watching it. Oh well.
We've finally started watching the new Dr. Who with her, I figured she's old enough for the scarier episodes. She's liking it so far.
There are a few that will likely be too much, but they establish the tone very early on in each episode, so you'll sorta know. Where did you start her off at? Which Doctor?

I've been listening to Jackie Shane after reading about her this morning. She was a black, trans soul singer in mid 60s Canada. She's got a really singular voice.

Let's find some time to make dick jokes and complain about tv shows.
I thought it was good, but not as strong as the 5th, or 3rd. Or the first.
Actually, it's the opposite of the classic films, because the odd ones are the best.

That movie is fucking outstanding. One of my top five horror flicks.
Cube would also be a good followup, though that one is gory. Conceptually, it would probably delight them, though.

How to Write a Morrissey Song
I’m kind of late to the party on her. She is Rob Schneider’s daughter. Reminds me a little of Amy Winehouse
