Seed of Chucky & The Thanksgiving Survey.

So I checked out Seed of Chucky on behalf of Box Office Magazine (and because I really, really wanted to), and while I had several typical complaints and couldn't possibly recommend the movie to a broad audience, I worry that I may have been too hard on it. It wasn't boring, it wasn't a retread -- I guess it just didn't click together into something that could keep my attention diverted from the asshole chair-kicking kids who were somehow stationed directly behind us in an otherwise empty theater. Definitely loving the Tilly, though. Certain moments of dopey dialogue aside, Chucky's clearly the coolest of the slashers these days. Not necessarily my favorite, but hey, Freddy, Jason and friends haven't earned enough stripes to make Britney Spears jokes yet, and apparently, Chucky has. We must also concede that the final two installments of the Child's Play series revamped the original idea using one of the better methods in horror history. When you've got Jennifer Tilly voicing a killer doll who's trying to impregnate Jennifer Tilly with a dripping turkey baster full of Chucky's sperm, there's at least some small thing here to make you stand up, raise a glass and shout: "Okay, I didn't see that coming." For audiences who aren't going to be in love with this type of movie no matter how bad it is, no way, can't tell ya to see it. You'll want outta there after fifteen minutes. Likely better on DVD with a bong nearby.

To celebrate a movie I'm just not sure about, here's a saucy gallery featuring Jennifer Tilly's best...heh..."assets." _1_ _2_ _3_ _4_ _5_

I'm still working on the parade review, trying to get some bits and pieces done after work for a night-before-Thanksgiving launch. Not as early as I would've liked, but not late. Meanwhile, survey: what are you doing for Thanksgiving this year?

I can’t believe I’m First! Going to mom’s house for turkey day as usual. But it’s also my wedding anniversary. How romantic!

you bastard.

Wow! JT’s assets are magnificent to be hold. Makes a girl like me a bit jealous. Incidently, what is that red thing or do I even want to know?

Chestnuts roasted by Kay @ 11/22/2004 10:03 PM

I wish I had assets like that.

It’s not worth it for me to go home for Thanksgiving ($500 for 4 days isn’t worth it for a lowly college student) so I’ll be here, working on my final architecture studio project and cursing my professor…

Ummm, yeah. Hey, ummm love your site dude.

Chestnuts roasted by chucky @ 11/22/2004 10:14 PM

Eating and shitting.

Eating, watching the parade, and hanging out with my sister, my boyfriend does all the holiday cooking (and most of the other cooking, for that matter).

Chestnuts roasted by Lindsey @ 11/22/2004 10:30 PM

Kay, the red thing is a missile. But an unpainted Boba Fett prototype might be tempted to use it for other things. When you’re worth about $15,000, you can do whatever you want.

Thanksgiving? Watch my old high school’s football game, eat turkey with my family, probably see "National Treasure," watch that Seinfeld special, and watch a Christmas special or movie (either the Albert Finney version of "Scrooge," Miracle on 34th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, or Pee-Wee’s Christmas Special).

Man I’m practically already on Thanksgiving! My college is on strike and it seems like it could be this way for awhile I have enough time to go see Seed of Chucky again! Me and my brother both agree that the Tiffany doll was cute (not like hot cute like guinea pig cute). http://www.upi4100.org/neiu/ Go see Seed of Chucky this holiday weekend so they make more sequels!

Oh yea Matt which Burger King watch commercial did you write? There are three I’ve seen. One with Spongbob and 2 office ones.

Chestnuts roasted by Pat @ 11/22/2004 11:09 PM

THe SB one. The office ones aren’t done by Nick.

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 11/22/2004 11:14 PM

I’m going to eat some non-pilgrim like Chandler, watch the parade, and eat a turkey tv dinner. Finally my family has agreed with me to not hassle with cooking a big bird that we’ll dread having leftovers of.

Chestnuts roasted by pikachulover @ 11/22/2004 11:37 PM

Doing bookdrop at the library I work at (time and a half!) and not spending time with my family. Y tu?

Chestnuts roasted by MellowBlissful @ 11/22/2004 11:53 PM

Damn… I love those assets. Ok, I wish I had those assets here right now. :)
BTW, Matt, I saw the watch commercial, or at least I think I did. If the watches spin, I saw it on a local Fox station.
Thanks for the article.

Watching my dad pass out at the table. My mom always told me it was the tryptophan. Then I finally realized it was the pre-dinner vodka.

Chestnuts roasted by GadgetMouse @ 11/23/2004 12:25 PM

Damn, dirty assets!

Chestnuts roasted by Nachokhaki @ 11/23/2004 12:46 PM

Eating, and catching up on some animation work I’m somewhat late on.

Chestnuts roasted by Garrison @ 11/23/2004 12:56 PM

My cousin and his family are coming in from Mississppi. He’s a Captain in the Marime Corps and is stationed near Jackson. Going to watch the parade and hard hitting football action. Then going to my Aunt and Uncle’s house for the annual gorge-a-thon. Woo Hoo! Then on Friday it is football, football, leftovers, and more football-Followed by Karaoke firday night. Karaoke rules!! :)

Thanksgiving is over for Canadians, but what I DID do was have my first Thanksgiving with friends instead of family- we made the big meal together and the whole bit….except we cheated and bought a pre-cooked chicken and then just warmed it up. Then we watched evry single episode of "Family Guy" on DVD!

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 11/23/2004 1:07 AM

I love Thanksgiving; it’s my favorite holiday. Once Christmas happens, it’s all over…on Thanksgiving it’s just begun; plus you get tons of food, a parade when you wake up, a FOUR-day weekend, first-run movies on TV…man, it just keeps on giving!

"I had several typical complaints and couldn’t possibly recommend the movie to a broad audience"

*Broad* audience? That, sir, is sexist! They prefer the term "dames". I mean, I haven’t actually talked to one since ’98, but that’s what I figure.

Also Matt, you check out the Spongebob movie yet? Good stuff.

The Cyclops deserves the Oscar for Best Actor.

Being an American in Canada, I am stuck with a different time of year for Thanksgiving. However, my school does do an American thanksgiving dinner for American students who have parents that are willing shell out the dough to pay for it. My parents get it for me every year, and it’s always damn good. However, I miss the days of my Grandma’s turkey and pumpkin pie. My Grandma’s da bomb at cooking. I can’t wait to taste her food again this Christmas.

Chestnuts roasted by Nate @ 11/23/2004 3:29 AM

NATE- Glad to hear we have someone with your knowledge of all things 80s up here in Canada! Right on. :)

Chestnuts roasted by Muppet Baby @ 11/23/2004 5:59 AM

I’ll be working, like the corporate bitch I am.

Chestnuts roasted by Whirred @ 11/23/2004 6:06 AM

Going to my MIL’s for Thanksgiving. We alawys do. Boring. No one watches the football game over there, or the parade. They usually just play Bill Gaither tapes super loud so Mr. Traj’s step-grandmother can hear them. I know my littlest one is going to be grumpy – she usually goes down for a nap after lunch, but she won’t even be eating until 2. Not my favorite holiday, let me tell you.

Sorry for the bitching, all. BTW, Giant Ape Juice, though.
