Why the world should have ended yesterday

Hi there. Did you miss my DOOOM and GLOOM "Countdown To Extinction?" Yeah, as foretold by Prophet Shawn, in the Basement, the "end" fell short and disappointed conspiracy theorists everywhere. Put your "bug out" bags back on the shelf, and get your asses back to work. Lol.

Yesterday, was prophesied to be THE END. Not a rapture, (X2 because of bad math), not a second coming, or massive floods. THE END. Armageddon. Some people thought that they may even escape death and actually prepared, for surviving this "end". When I think of this whole idea, I think of atmosphere stripping solar winds, planet smashing collisions and other absolute Earth ending, nothing survivable, events. At all. By anything. So the idea of stocking up on ammo, food, water etc . . . never crossed my mind.

Those "preppers" aren't entirely crazy, though. The time they will "need" their stockpiles won't be from natural extinction level events (e.l.e.), but from their fellow man. Man can be a nasty animal. When we get nasty, I'm glad that the "preppers" will be there to stand up against what our monstrosity can produce.

In terms of monstrosities, I speak of the movie, Disaster Movie. I'm not even going to put a trailer on this blog to talk about it.

Disaster Movie was endured because that is my job here in The Basement. To watch "B" movies in search of hidden gems and spread the word. The word I spread here is I fucking took one for the team. At one point, my wife yelled down the stairs, "What is all that singing and dancing going on down there???" . . . Basementites, I shit you not.
This movie is one reason I held out a teeeeeny tiiiiny bit of hope that maybe the world should have ended yesterday. Imagine this movie as a legacy of man??! Lol.

In the end, (Lol) I'm very glad we are still here!! And in the words of Barry Manilow, "Looks Like We Made It..."

Thanks for sticking with us, enduring the Countdown to Extinction.

Hope you enjoyed the Mayan's 2012 A-crap-alypse.

The Animated Addict: "The Adventures of Tintin" (2011)

If you're a 40 + white dude, like myself, you may remember a comic series called " The Adventures of Tintin ". I know I remember them. This series, dating back to 1929, got turned into a animated feature film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. After buying a model of ship called The Unicorn, teenaged journalist Tintin finds himself on adventure that will take him from the high seas, to the low deserts, and from the distant past to the present. With his trusty dog, Snowy, by his side, Tintin uncovers a story connecting two men across the centuries.. . The story is really quite good. It's well crafted, and high paced- with just enough slow moments to build and develop the world and the characters. This is the sort of adventure story you'd find in the old serials of the 1930's and '40's. In fact, it felt like it was the sort of tale that you'd find Indiana Jones undertaking. I found myself swept up, and swept along as our hero swung from one e...

Unlock your fate with The Puzzle

When my dad wasn't working, building stuff or being my dad, he was making puzzles. It was a guaranteed way for him to unwind. So it was with great interest that I sat down to watch Italian filmmaker Davide Melini's award-winning short The Puzzle. You see, the mother in the five-minute film likes to relax with puzzles just like my dad. Unfortunately, her good-for-nothing son keeps harassing her for money. Losing herself in her favourite passtime, the mother soon discovers that completing this puzzle might unlock a nightmare. The Puzzle has been an official selection at more European film festivals than you can shake a stick at, and was voted Third Best Italian Film at the Rome International Film Festival in 2008. Having watched it, I'm not surprised. It's a tight little film that hits you hard in the final few seconds. You can tell Melini cut his teeth as an assistant director for legendary Italian filmmaker Dario Argento. But enough chit chat on my part. See if yo...
