Sigh...

This one single section was all the horror dvds at Best Buy in Buford, GA. That's it.

I wept.

I don't know if this speaks to the lack of horror or the fact that the internet has brought us downloads and the instant watch/deliverable by mail services of Netflix and subsequently the death of retail dvds?

Or the fact that this Best Buy sucks and that the horror section is much more massive in other locations. If someone knows, enlighten me.

Just a thought.

Sam Raimi has lost his balls...

So I'm sitting on the couch, reinstalling on my laptop, chlillin' like a villain, watching the tube and what do I see? A commercial for Drag Me to Hell. This is the new movie from one time horror god, now turned spidey tool Sam Raimi. I kinda got a tingle cause this is Sam's return to horror. I watched with bated breath, Sam + Horror = Good, right? Maybe. This is not the issue right now. The issue isn't the stars or even the story. I haven't seen it yet. The issue is the fact that at the end of the commercial, I hear "Rated PG-13." Fuck me. What happened to horror being rated R?

Evil Dead, Sam Raimi's debut opus was unrated. It was originaly rated X because it was raw and brutal. It was full of total terror goodness! This is PG-13. PG MOTHER FUCKIN' 13!!!! How can you bring full on scares with that kind of rating. It's not just this movie, it's been happening a lot.

I miss the old days of graphic horror and nudity that had no purpose. It must suck to lose your balls.
