Emahlstadt"is die hard a christmas movie?" is the most, rote, hackneyed, long-as-fuck in the tooth, un-funny, uninteresting line on the internet for, like, 10 years running. enough. its not cute or clever anymore, it's just obnoxious as fuck.
The fact that Die Hard is a Christmas movie isn’t really up for debate anymore (hell, The A.V. Club even sells sweatshirts about it), but that doesn’t make director John McTiernan recent interview with the American Film Institute about “how Die Hard became a Christmas movie” any less worthwhile.
Emahlstadtthank the dark lord. we never would've heard the end of it.

In the wake of brand new horror movie Smiley Face Killers, we’ve learned this week that Crispin Glover has booked his next gig, a starring role in HBO Max series “Red Bird Lane.”
Deadline broke the news, reporting that Glover (Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter, Willard) has been set as a series regular for what’s being described as a psychological thriller.
Deadline adds, “James Urbaniak, Jamie Clayton, Rya Kihlstedt and Grantham Coleman will appear as recurring characters. Damon Dayoub will guest star.”
The series “follows eight strangers who arrive at an isolated house, all for different reasons. Upon their mysterious and coincidental arrival, the strangers realize that something sinister and terrifying awaits them. Glover will play Jonah, a bad man who arrives at the mysterious house in the center of the thriller for money.”
“Red Bird Lane” is written by Sara Gran (“Southland”) and directed by David Slade (Hard Candy, “Hannibal”). The cast also includes Susan Sarandon and Kiersey Clemons.

Just a Christmas tradition that my boyfriend’s family does that I want to bring to our family since he will be celebrating with us this year. Usually my boyfriend’s mom makes churros from scratch but (a) I can’t cook/bake worth a damn and (b) it would be nice to support a local business if possible.

Warner Bros.’ announcement last week that it would be releasing all of its 2021 movies in theaters and on HBO Max at the same time seemed pretty exciting to people in the general public—finally, a chance to see new movies in the middle of a global pandemic without either catching/spreading the virus or getting judged…

Many of you may not be aware of this, but veteran comedian/actor/director David Wain has been quietly hard at work throughout quarantine. Not on any one particular new project (that we’re aware of), but with live Zoom performances of Wet Hot American Summer, revamped sketches from The State, and, um, sle…

Emahlstadtgross. how has espn not pulled the plug on this abomination yet?
The first of 12 men’s basketball games tips off on Wednesday with the season opener against UTRGV.
The 2020-21 Texas Longhorns men’s and women’s basketball seasons will feature a combined 20 games on the Longhorn Network, including 12 games for the men’s team and eight for the women’s team. Four of those games are conference contests for head coach Shaka Smart’s team.
The season starts on Wednesday with the women tipping off at 1 p.m. Central against SMU. The men then take the court at the Erwin Center at 7 p.m. Central against UTRGV.
Smart and his Longhorns enter the season ranked No. 22 nationally and are the only team in the NCAA to return 100-percent of the team’s scoring, rebounding, and minutes from last season, while adding McDonald’s All-American Greg Brown III, the Austin-area product ranked as one of the top recruits nationally.
Here’s the list of games that the Texas men’s team will play on Longhorn Network:

The women’s team enters its first season under new head coach Vic Schaefer, the two-time national coach of the year who left Mississippi State during the offseason to replace Karen Aston. The Horns are led by all-Big 12 honorees Charli Collier and Celeste Taylor.
Here’s the list of women’s games that will appear on Longhorn Network:
/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22107131/Screen_Shot_2020_11_24_at_2.58.34_PM.png)
Lowell Galindo will handle play-to-play duties for men’s games, as well as hosting Game Plan with Shaka Smart starting in January. Alex Loeb gets the assignment of Game Plan with Vic Schaefer and play by play for women’s games, while Lance Blanks will serve as the color commentator alongside Galindo and Andrea Lloyd alongside Loeb.
EmahlstadtLol. We got some repair work done by these guys a little while back. Never again.

Emahlstadtpretty solid for a "figure"
Mezco is kicking off Friday the 13th today with the reissue of a Jason Voorhees figure, part of their One:12 Collective line and based on Jason’s look in Friday the 13th: Part 3.
The 6″ figure, Mezco details, “includes two menacingly detailed head portraits and two removable hockey masks. Jason’s axe accessory fits neatly into the gash on his wounded head as well as the crack in his hockey mask, recreating the iconic finale from Friday the 13th: Part 3. The infamous Crystal Lake killer is outfitted authentically from the film.”
The company adds, “Jason comes complete with every weapon he used in the film: an axe, a machete, a cleaver, a wrench, a fireplace poker, a knife, and a spear gun.”
Here’s the full breakdown:
The figure can be pre-ordered today for $85, shipping May-July 2021.

Emahlstadtzeke the fucking plumber
The latest horror icon to join the “Horror Buddy” collection from Horror Decor is Zeke the Plumber, who ’90s kids surely remember from his appearance in “Salute Your Shorts.”
As Meagan recently explained here on BD, “Zeke the Plumber’s appearance was unexpected and terrifying. The mask, the unassuming outfit, and the gravelly quiet voice instilled actual nightmares for the generation that watched this infamous episode in 1991. For a certain age group, Zeke the Plumber remains one of the most traumatic figures from childhood.”
The brand new Zeke the Plumber “Horror Buddy” design is now available in both large and mini sizes, as well as a scaled-down backpack clip and even a holiday ornament.
Head over to Horror Decor to grab one and browse the full “Horror Buddy” collection!

Former Texas Longhorns quarterback Garrett Gilbert is back under center. Well, maybe.
This time, it seems, for the Dallas Cowboys.
Gilbert, a class of 2009 recruit out of Lake Travis High School in Austin, began his career with the Longhorns before he was benched and eventually transferred to join the SMU Mustangs. He’ll replace rookie Ben DiNucci, who replaced veteran Andy Dalton. You get it.

Emahlstadtgreat story, great book, great art by the great trad moore
Allnighter announced today that it will be adapting the hit Image Comics series The Strange Talent of Luther Strode as a feature film in partnership with series co-creators Justin Jordan and Tradd Moore. Jordan is adapting the comic and will write the screenplay.
The Strange Talent of Luther Strode, which was followed by The Legend of Luther Strode and The Legacy of Luther Strode, “deftly splices together the common DNA of the superhero and slasher archetypes for a brash and bloody adventure that is equal parts comic-book escapism and action-horror hybrid.”
“High schooler Luther Strode was always a little bit less than average – soft-spoken, skinny, and, more than anything, terrified that his estranged father would one day return to torment him and his mother once more. But that ended the day that Luther discovered “The Method” – an improbably old text hidden between the comic books and ragged paperbacks at his favorite used bookstore. But The Method is far more than it seems – and, as its ancient techniques rework Luther’s body and unlock the strange talents buried deep within, he will find himself transformed into a near-perfect physical specimen imbued with incredible strength, startling new abilities…and a killer’s instinct for violence that he can’t quite seem to shake.”
“When The Method’s masters arrive to observe Luther’s progress and draw him into action, he’ll be forced to make the ultimate choice: embrace the monster he was intended to be…or use his newfound power to protect the people – the classmates, the teachers, the neighbors – who never protected him when he needed them the most.”
“Luther Strode is one of the most beloved comic book series of the past decade and with good reason. Not only is it a master-class in the best that comics have to offer, but it’s horrifying, heartfelt, and funny all at once. Whether you like superheroes or horror, Strode is the rare series that equally speaks to the core of both genres and creates fascinating new dimensions in the process,” said Allnighter co-founder and partner Dinesh Shamdasani.
Allnighter’s Dinesh Shamdasani, Hunter Gorinson, and Amanda Kruse will produce the film alongside co-creators Jordan and Moore.
Emahlstadtsink holes: the world's greatest terror
Kick over a tree stump and you’ll find ants, thousands of them swarming at the sudden disturbance. You could’ve leapt over it, oblivious, but you wanted to see what’s beneath. You won’t make that mistake again. We’re happier oblivious. If you saw what swims in the depths of the ocean—hello, dragonfish—you’d think…
Emahlstadtfinally. been looking for a columbo shirt for ages.
Personally, I like little more than flinging on a Columbo t-shirt and strutting about like a pouter pigeon, accepting the admiring glances of the hoi polloi as I do so. If you’re the same, it could be time to visit the Columbophile TeePublic store, which is now stocking an expanded range of designs paying homage to the greatest detective show of all.
Better yet, there’s a 35% off site-wide sale from 28-31 October, offering a fabulous opportunity to shop ahead for Christmas or birthdays, for as well as shirts, the designs are also available on a range of other items including mugs, magnets and sweaters.
The genesis of the store was my own inability to find a Columbo logo t-shirt that utilised the original title font from the 70s’ series. To right that wrong, I had one designed specially and, in order to share the love, made it available via TeePublic.
I enjoy subtle allusions to the show, so have just added a series of designs that series’ aficionados will appreciate, but which will have less meaning to the man on the street, including Columbo’s licence plate, Nelson Hayward’s campaign slogan from Candidate for Crime, and business logos for Carsini Wineries, Milo Janus Health Spa and Ding-A-Ling ice-cream. More designs will follow in due course.
If not quite selling like hot cakes, the existing designs are certainly selling like bowls of chilli at Bert’s Diner, and that’s good enough for me. I’ve also curated some of the best other Columbo designs I can find for the store, as well as some stylish efforts for other classic TV shows, including Murder, She Wrote, The Rockford Files and MASH. There’s plenty to enjoy.
As a disclaimer, any purchases made through the store do earn me a small sum (a lot less than TeePublic makes), but you do get some tangible goodies for it, so everyone’s a winner! I always advocate for making purchases during the site’s frequent sales, so usually alert my followers on Twitter and Facebook to such sales to ensure they get the best deals possible.
That’s about all I can say, folks. If you do purchase, please hit me up on social media when your items arrive. I’d dearly love to see the world awash with Columbo fashions. Who knows? Perhaps you’ll make some new friends / admirers because of them?
For now, I’ll bid you adieu and get back to the task I’ve been procrastinating on for some days: a full review of Murder in Malibu. Words continue to fail me. Wish me luck…

As anyone alive right now can attest, real life is often as terrifying as any movie. Leatherface is scary, sure, but can his buzzing (and entirely imaginary) chainsaw really compete with the actual horrors lurking beyond your front door? For those seeking a different and maybe deeper chill than the kind your typical…
Emahlstadtqbu? really? i feel like ou/lincoln riley probably have something to say about that.
Emahlstadtmore justification for the netflix cancellation. this was one of the few shows we followed. not surprised.
Holt McCallany cruelly teased us with the potential for five (!) seasons of David Fincher’s serial killer drama Mindhunter last year, telling The Hollywood Reporter that Fincher told him, “[E]ven if I fuck it up, it’s gonna go five seasons, and I don’t intend to fuck it up.” Well, we’re not going to say Fincher fucked…
Emahlstadtbring it on, i say
We knew that a new take on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre was in the works from producer Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe), and today Legendary has launched an official website for the upcoming film. On the website you’ll find some early art for the movie, which comes with the promise that “the face of madness” (Leatherface, of course) will return in 2021.
On the site you can enter your e-mail address to receive a motion poster and a code redeemable for an exclusive Calling Card in Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare.
Leatherface joins Call of Duty tomorrow with the “Haunting of Verdansk” update.
David Blue Garcia (Tejano) is directing the movie, written by Chris Thomas Devlin.
“The new film, a continuation of Tobe Hooper’s shocking 1974 seminal horror classic, marks the return of Leatherface, re-introducing one of the most iconic villains of the horror genre to a whole new generation.”
The cast is led by Elsie Fisher (“Castle Rock”) alongside Sarah Yarkin (Happy Death Day 2U), Mark Burnham (Wrong Cops), Moe Dunford (The Dig), Olwen Fouéré (Mandy), Alice Krige (“Star Trek”), Jacob Latimore (The Maze Runner), Nell Hudson (Victoria), Jessica Allain (The Laundromat), Sam Douglas (Snatch), William Hope (Dark Shadows), and Jolyon Coy (“War & Peace”).
Tobe Hooper’s 1974 classic launched a franchise that includes all kinds of sequels, remakes and reboots. Most recently, Leatherface served as a prequel to the original classic.
Alvarez is producing with Bad Hombre’s Rodolfo Sayagues, alongside Kim Henkel (co-writer of the 1974 film), Ian Henkel and Pat Cassidy, who are producing via their Exurbia Films.
Emahlstadtfirst off, please god no.
secondly, i guess i've never listened to miley cirus sing before? just listened to this abomination of a clip and she sounds like a fucking 50 year old chainsmoker? holy fuck.
