My review of SLITHER

[thehefner]

Take ALIEN, George Romero's zombie movies, both versions of THE BLOB, Cronenberg's THE FLY and THE BROOD, Carpenter's THE THING, Brian Yuzna's SOCIETY, and Fred Dekker's NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, throw 'em into a big geek blender, and what's the result?

Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew! Ew!

Some of the most glorious, sticky, hilarious fun you'll have at the theatre. Awesome. Go see it. I dare say it deserves your ticket money far, far more than ICE AGE 2 or BASIC INSTINCT 2. At the very least, do it for Nathan!

Did I mention fun? That's the operative word here. Fun. But still, ew.

nothing to do with Slither, but did you see Wayne Pygram's going to be on Lost two eps from now? How can it be a lame episode with Scorpius??

You went to see a midnight viewing of slither? Otherwise wtf cause it isn't out yet, my theatre didn't have a midnight show either earliest we have is 11:55am, (strange time for a movie to start, yes)

The writer for Slither did Tromeo & Juliet along with the Dawn of the Dead remake so I'm completely going to see it tomorrow first thing.

Oh hell! DAMN IT, times like this I wish I had the free time to follow the show continuously! I need to get the DVDs stat! Several key cast members of OZ and now Scorpy?! *dies*

Nah, I snagged a pass to a sneak preview.

Yeah, but the writer also did Scooby Doo 1 and 2. Slither's awesome, don't get me wrong, but still. Scooby fucking Doo 1 and 2.

He was most likely very proper when he was writing the scooby scripts, enjoying some scooby snacks in the process.

yeah, I keep hearing it's funny....that and Nathan may win out over the eeeew factor....

[calliopes_pen]

I saw a preview of it. Based on that, there is no way I am going to go see it. There was a certain scene in the television previews that almost made me very sick.

I may have to see this at some point too...for Michael F'n Rooker, baby.

There was apparently a scene after the credits were done, did you see it? I didn't stay through the credits and I'm pissed I missed it I hate when I miss the extra scenes, I have a good wild speculation on what happens though.

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

See, I *always* sit through the credits of a movie I liked. Not even because there might be something at the end. It's just a good policy, I think. The second unit key grip is someone's son, after all.

And yeah, there was something.

I don't know your email, so I'm writing here..

Just watched most recent Smallville (well, am watching it now) and had a few questions.

1) Has Brainiac always had all of superman's powers?
2) Was Brainiac associated with Zod in the comics too?

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

What happened in the episode? I missed it and I can't find spoilers anywhere! I only care about stuff involving Brainy, Lex, and Zod.

To answer your questions, no, Brainiac never had all of Superman's powers. That said, as a sentient computer who has either been a computer in an organic body or a robot, he has had invulnerability, lazer vision, super strength, flight, of whatever the hell else he wanted to upgrade into his program.

Brainiac has never been associated with Zod in the comics or the animated series (which redid his origin so that he was Jor-El's supercomputer on krypton).

Those answer your questions at all? I am very peeved because I haven't seen a single bloody one of the Brainiac episodes and I wanna!
