Everyone wants to pretend June 6th, 2006 didn't happen, but it did. 666 was a reality folks. We can't be fooling ourselves any longer. Just because nothing significant in the history of man actually happened at all, doesn't mean we have to forget about it. Many of you just went about your day, trying to pretend like it wasn't happening, but it was. That day was the infamous 666. That day was predetermined in ancient scripture. Everyone was supposed to get all crazy and burn things, but what did you all do? Go to work. Play some Dance Dance Mario Edition. Eat some ice cream. Everyone here should be ashamed. I think we all copped out. Who can say that when 666 came and went, with all of us just blushing and giggling about it, that we were not a total let down to God and Our Country. We had an opportunity to fulfill generations of prophecy, that day could have been the culmination of centuries of historic anticipation. But no, did any of you see anything blow up? Did anyone release any animals from any zoos to wreak havoc? When you looked out at the horizon on that fateful night, did you see any campfires, were you out there burning animal organs and painting nautical stars all over your body with their blood? Did you sacrifice any pets or close relatives, or even take the time out of your busy schedule to burn anything at all? You all know the answer to that, and you should be ashamed. So many of you who call yourselves Christians couldn't raise a finger to make a difference on a day that happens once in the history of all counting of time. Why even bother giving days numbers at all if no one wants to help out and fulfill any prophecy. No one can criticize anyone else for not adhering to the precepts of the Bible, now that everyone's dropped the ball. We all share the blame here. The devil's in that bible too and no one wants to do any of his stuff. We could have at least gotten some Ouija boards or lit some candles or something.

But at least in one small way you can begin to make up for it. You can start to atone for all that you have taken for granted. You can make amends with fate and humanity as a whole. My birthday is coming up and you can send me money. Consider it a penance.

After eagerly awaiting the release of both films I still had to wait for them to be available for rent before I could see them. I couldn't wait for them after hearing the reviews of friends and family, so as soon as I could I rented them.

More eager to see Hostel due to the Quentin Tarantino influence it was the first to see, I rented it and was disappointed, with the lack of depth in the story. The acting was spot on however, Jay Hernandez, Derek Richardson, and Eythor Gudjonsson, did very well at portraying kids with too much sex and drugs on their minds. This movie does have some good revenge killings though, I will give it that.

With that aside I could not say that I was more disappointed in something that I felt I had waited so long to see. In my eyes, and maybe yours, it was just useless gore. Don't get me wrong I love my gore just as much as the next person, another thing that I appreciate is more than a two dimensional storyline. If all you want to see is: people having sex with strangers, then being killed by strangers, then rent this. If I were you, I would wait for it to come on FOX.

A little hesitant after my previous encounter with a movie from this genre, but I told myself, "lightning doesn't strike twice." The characters in Wolf Creek were written with more depth, the trip to them was something more than sex, drugs, and booze. Which only takes place at the beginning of the film at a goodbye party. This film also had something that Hostel could have used, a strong female character. I take that back there was one good female character in Hostel, Kana portrayed by Jennifer Lim.

Wolf Creek delivered a much better villain than I have seen in quite some time too. A super helpful and friendly outback man, who just happens to be a mass murderer that has been doing it for years. He was very reminiscent of a character that you would expect to see in something from the 70's or possibly even the 80's. As far as recommendations go, I would highly suggest Wolf Creek if you were in the mood for a good, and suspenseful, ride.

I predict that on June 6th 2006, swarms of pestilence will sweep the earth. Madness will overcome the animal kingdom. Disease and belligerence will take over the livestock. Clouds will gather to obscure the dark masses of crawling centipedes wriggling through the suburban lawns. Ravens and many crows will dive on pedestrians, ripping off chunks of scalp with their hair-pulling beaks. Pet rodents will open their cages and compete for the liters of blood they will draw from our children. Compasses will spin in circles. Dolphins, overcome with ancient jealousy of the human ability to grasp objects, will bludgeon sailors and boogie-boarders unconscious before gruesomely eating their hands. Surgeons will collapse into seizures at the operating table. Hawaii will see snow, also people will be unexpectedly cold and have no sleds. Leopards will grow wings and fly over parks and fields, gouging soccer players, landing, and then running dang fast. Faucets will flow with hot and cold running phlegm. Every beverage will taste like melted butter, which sounds awesome, but its not, not all by itself, think about it. Corpses will clog the rivers. Airplanes will fall from the sky. Everything cute will smell bad.

But on September 9th 2009, just bats will get all crazy. Bats and Opossums.

Also voter turnout will be about the same.
