Let’s admit it, even if most of the time I can’t find anything worth being watched on the gazillion of channels that TPS kindly gives me access to, sometimes, yes, sometimes, there are a few movies or series that could… deserve to be checked, in a very sarcastic way. Along the traditional lines of “perhaps this won’t be as lousy as it seems”, here comes Bloody Mallory, which made me laugh quite a little. Worth being mentioned is the fact that “laughing” for me can stem from really funny movies as well as from really stupid ones. Or, all considered, second-rate movies may make me laugh even more, since one never knows whether it was lousy on purpose or not. After all, being able to take a movie at the 10th degree is also a quality… I think.

To be watched with the same mindset as for a Buffy episode – with a pack of beer and a few pals under the hand. It’s almost like an episode fromDamned, with more money and less private jokes (actually, I really like Damned, even though understanding all the references in it probably categorizes me forever). I still quite digged the cardboard sceneries and the old plot twists that can be smelled ten miles ahead; for a roleplayer who likes betting on what the next scene will be, it’s fun. Most of the acting was frankly bland; however, given that from the start I didn’t intend on taking this movie seriously, it oddly fit.

Aye, aye, I also want my version of the Necronomicon in an e-book.

Silmy having slowly but irremediably contaminated my mind with the idea of a radio blog, I’ve given in, and installed one here.

Yza’s playlist:
(That I consider a little like a “writing playlist”: these songs tend to boost my inspiration, depending on the type of scene I need to work on.)

• Kitaro/David Foster/Sedaka Dara — Angel Queen: A collector, since it is the end credits song of the Sennen Jou movie, otherwise known as Princesse Millenium or Queen Millenia.


• Concrete Blonde — Bloodletting (The Vampire’s Song)


• Kajiura Yuki — Chloe (Noir OST): Eerie enough to inspire me whenever I need to write a scene about Ka’Ellan.


• John Williams — Duel of the Fates: I didn’t like Episode I. It doesn’t prevent me from thinking that this music goes well with fight/duel scenes.


• Voltaire — Ex Lover’s Lover


• Hirasawa Susumu — Forces (Berserk OST): Works well for one of my warrior-types characters


• Blackmore’s Night — Ghost of a Rose


• Within Temptation — Jillian (I’d Give My Heart)


• Theatre of Tragedy — Liquid Man


• City Hunter OST — Nina: From the City Hunter movie Ai to Shukumei no Magnum. Always makes me think of Kheril.


• Kanno Yoko — Sôra: From the Escaflowne movie. In fact, it will always remain Tanaquil’s song for me


• Sol Invictus — The Killing Tide


• Pendragon — The King of the Castle


• Type O Negative — Wolf Moon: One always need her dose of Type O (and October Rust remains a very good album).


• Dead Can Dance — Xavier: A song I had wanted to have for a very long time (while somehow knowing – intuition? – that it was by DCD, even though I didn’t know this band at the time). This one has haunted me for years.

A somewhat eclectic playlist, which corresponds well enough to my own global approach to music. As for the radio blog itself, sorry for using a reduced version: I simply didn’t want to destroy my theme.

The radio will remain online… until my bandwidth dies. * crosses fingers *

The 6th tome of Harry Potter is now out, and what better opportunity than this to come back to a webcomic I had found some time ago already, but hadn’t been updated very often? Well, I found the link back, and was glad to see that the author had gone on with the story.

So here, Crazy Kimchi presents Kill Harry. The parallel with Kill Bill is evident, and the elements of Harry Potter’s universe quite well respected, with funny twists, that is.

It’s probably necessary to have seen – or at least, know a little – the Kill Bill storyline, however; like for every parody, it takes all its flavor when the hints can be caught.

No way I can pass on the opportunity to share this. I was reading my feeds earlier on, and while getting the ones from Boing Boing, I saw their post about Plan 9. So, I rushed to Internet Archive to download it, since it seems to have indeed fallen into the public domain (Creative Commons license, here we go).

This is cult movie, I say, cult movie.

Bela Lugosi was cast in the role of “Ghoul Man” but passed away before filming really started. So what happens? The producer’s wife’s chiropractor (Mr. Reynold’s was the executive producer) takes over as “Ghoul Man” and holds his cape in front of his face THE ENTIRE MOVIE.

Add to this numerous plot inconsistencies, horrid acting, and masses of stock footage – some of which we see several times and you have a terrible but funny movie.

Pray, tell me, who can pass on such yummy details?

Tired from hearing that your dog is “dangerous”, and that all pets of the same breed should be shot? Worry not, for Attackchi has the solution: turn your Doberman into a poodle! The pictures prove that it is doable!
