Welcome to the fourth and final gimme episode of Immortalized, a show that I am going to start treating as a hostile entity if it does not improve after we presumably meet the fourth member of the home team.
Host Zach Selwyn starts out punchy this week, and his gestures betray that he has slid…( Read more )
Archer Hating Wife update: AHW hates the show so much that it makes her pine for the bad old days of 3 networks. “Thursdays used to mean Hawaii and beautiful mustaches! Why can’t Thursdays still mean Magnum?” Sorry, hon. We’ll watch 5-0 later for a fix.
This week’s…( Read more )
Whenever I tell my husband I have to watch The Following, he says “the following what?”. Real funny guy, that one. But the show’s title does make it annoying when searching for episode screen shots. Come on, Google!
Super Nanny and Joey arrive at a mysterious location on their…( Read more )
A creepy folk tune with rumbling soundscapes and haunted vocals could be properly complemented only by an equally creepy video. The animation, completed as part of Natalie Cheetham‘s final major project at uni, reeks of a Gothic fairytale taking a note from haunted house flicks, Tim…( Read more )
“If Industrial is dead I’m f**king the corpse.” So goes the description on Caustic‘s Facebook page. Listening to this remix heap, I found it easy to imagine lots of pelvic thrusts in the studio and across the mixing board. Only a labor of love could be produced from that…( Read more )
Continuing the theme of blue-haired beauties Forrest Black and I have photographed, from Alecia Joy‘s 13th Blue Blood VIP appearance to Darenzia‘s 39th Blue Blood VIP appearance . . . I’m pleased to be able to share this unseen flashback photo shoot with you all. Forrest Black and I photographed a bunch of stuff of Darenzia where a few images ran in various print magazines. Only print magazines, at least back then, preferred to have an embargo on publishing the full set on BlueBlood.com or RubberDollies.com or wherever, until after the print mag cam out. Only print publications sometimes take forever to actually be published. So, by the time Marquis and I think a couple other things were published with our shots of Darenzia, the hard drive with the originals had died. (I recall Marquis was one because Darenzia was kind enough to thank me and Forrest, for shooting her first Marquis appearance and hooking her up with the mag, in her covergirl feature interview when she made the cover of the magazine. I make sure to always remember kindnesses.) We recently were able to happily recover a bunch of stuff off of it, so, voila! New old Darenzia pics! We’ve also recently organized the majority (well, not all, but the majority, of our film negatives. We did that for our deathrock book project, but BlueBlood.com members may benefit as well.
Alecia Joy‘s formal dance training is evident in this photo series. It was such a pleasure for me and Forrest Black immortalizing someone doing something so well and so beautifully. Alecia is wonderful to work with. I really want to post like a zillion images from this set because it turned out so awesome, but, with the ways Google and Facebook are 900 pound gorillas dictating how others must present things, the internet is becoming so aggressively SFW. So I feel like, if I want anyone to see my personal blogging, I need to keep it pretty SFW (other people’s W that is) if I want anyone to actually see what I create. Trust me, Alecia Joy can do really cool stuff on a trapeze. Anyway, for Blue Blood VIP members, there are 82 photographs in this series.
Archer Hating Wife has been catching up on old shows, including an endless parade of Lena Dunham’s Girls. If you imagine this is not her revenge for my commandeering the TV on Thursday nights for Archer viewing (and reviewing as needed), I think your imagination needs new batteries.
Is this…( Read more )
We’re back with episode 3 of Immortalized, and Zach Selwyn’s unkempt hair and glazed eyes speak of a man who despairs of ever escaping his captivity. This week’s challenger is a 32-year taxidermy veteran who apparently thinks dressing like a beach bartender makes him an…( Read more )
Steampunk has been around for decades in prose and comics and crappy cosplay, but has there ever been an actual steampunk movie?
What usually gets marketed as steampunk, especially in the movies, is stuff that references the aesthetic without creating a world in which any of the tech makes…( Read more )
CLIFFHANGER RESOLUTION!!!!!! Bacon finds the kidnappers house but they have him at gunpoint. BUT the Feds know where they are so he’s got the upper hand. YOUR MOVE WEIRDOS! OOO and Bacon is totally smug and loving this. Poor little culties just don’t know what to do now. Well except…( Read more )
All continues to not be well with the Followers once the light of day shines on the most complicated relationship on television. The Fake Gays and the Nanny are now not so fake after their murder-menage. Joey finds the hidden cell phone and calls his mom to further the plot but the Feds…( Read more )
Archer-hating wife update, since I know that’s the highlight of these recaps: Archer-hating wife has realized that Elementary is on opposite Archer, and is currently watching that in the spare room while our senile dog shuttles back and forth with increasing agitation. He prefers us both…( Read more )
We’re back for week 2 of Immortalized, and Zach Selwyn is still being held captive. His every movement is a semaphore of pleading and dread. And our challenger this week is CJ Fegan, who gives 110% and does not accept failure. CJ apparently lives in a David Lynch version of the Bates…( Read more )
You are getting your Archer recap a bit late, even for me, because our Editrix Amelia is the soul of romanticism and gave me the night off for Valentine’s Day. Considering that my wife sincerely loathes V-day and I once wrote a searing set of ‘zine articles about the holiday that…( Read more )
