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 forgot the same guy later in the film shouted

"Man only one pair of boobs what a damn rip off"

Than produced one of the worst burps in history. Think a cross between a train crashing and a kid about to puke mixed.

Yea for booze.

Well… Jennifer Tilly certainly isn’t known for her ACTING…

Chestnuts roasted by AngeFaitore @ 11/23/2004 5:34 PM

Yeah, JT’s known for her GIANT APE JUICE. Actually I kinda dig Ms. Tilly.

Jeff Mack, Alison…what are the odds of THREE people from the same corner of the world coming on X-E and posting a comment? I’d say pretty damn good.

I’m not from B-ville, though very close (Phoenix)…but my ex-bf grew up there so I’ve spent plenty of time there. I just can’t believe that many people with connections to CNY admitted to such here. :)

Turkey Day this year will be spent at my aunt’s house. My brother and I valiantly fought to have it at our house because there’s more room/video game systems, but my grandmother decided it was time for her other daughter to do something for the family for once.

So I’ll try to watch the parade with the boyfriend on the phone (Matt made me want to watch it this year!) and avoid helping my mother get stuff ready for dinner (I’m so lazy). Then it’s off to the aunt’s to gorge and listen to my family be their stupid funny selves. Then I have to work the next day. God, being grown up sucks.

Oh and DeathFrogurt…if Britney was going to cameo in Seed of Chucky and then backed out at the last minute, why did she sue them to ensure viewers knew it wasn’t her in the movie? Such a spoilsport that ho is.

One more thing I just gotta say: Matt, I love you. Best site EVER.

As mentioned in previous blogs, I’m not a horror fan by any stretch of the imagination, so I’ll bypass Chucky and Jennifer Tilly and go straight to the poll.

What am I doing this Thanksgiving? Probably the same thing I did LAST Thanksgiving: going over to my parents house, trying to wrestle the TV from all of the males in the house who want to watch testosterone-fuled action DVDs rather than the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade, cheering the football team that comes from the closest place to New Jersey, and eating way too much with my very large family. Even with no reletives besides my sister’s boyfriend, there’s still six of us in my family, making almost any holiday a big deal.

Speaking of recipes, I wanted to share a cool idea for a snack to bring to Thanksgiving (for anyone not already assigned to bring food). It was cheap (about $7 for the entire thing), plentiful (I was able to make about 100 pieces) and they’re pretty good. All you need is: square pretzals (those ones that look like checkerboards), Hershey’s Hugs (I got two bags) and M&Ms (also, two bags). Preheat the ol’ oven to 175 degrees F. Line the pretzels up on a cookie sheet in a single layer. Unwrap the Hugs and stack them on top of the pretzels. heat them in the oven for about 6 minutes. When they come out, stick an M&M in the center of each Hug and press down so the chocolate spreads out to the ends of the pretzel. Stick ‘em in the fridge for about ten minutes. Presto! Instant salty chocolate goodness. They look cool, too.

Well, there’s my good deed for the day. Adios!

Oh, oops. Giant Ape Juice. Goota fight for the cause, man.

Chestnuts roasted by trajeal @ 11/23/2004 7:16 PM

damn those assets. I was hoping to see the ASSets. nudge nudge..

Chestnuts roasted by zombone @ 11/23/2004 7:26 PM

She wasn’t going to cameo at all, ever! They just wanted to use a song of hers (Hit me baby, I think?), and she backed out.
I was just thinking that it had been way too long since I’d come to the blog and seen a scan of an overpriced ticket stub. (Though the matinee price on this one isn’t half bad, considering I just paid $12.50 to go see I <3 Huckabees at some trendo theater.) I was afraid the whole F911 poopla had soured you on doing many recent movie reviews, but you did review Shaun of the Dead after that so I guess I'm just full of it.
For Thanksgiving: We thought it would only be a few people, so instead of getting a bird, we bought one turkey breast. Suddenly more people are attending, and we still only have one solitary turkey breast to go around. I find it funny now, but it probably won’t be so funny come Thursday afternoon.

Alison, Nikkii:

I hail from Skaneateles, NY. Ever been there? It’s just a hop, skip, and a jump from B-ville. Beautiful town.

Where do you guys live now?

Chestnuts roasted by Jeff Mack @ 11/23/2004 9:08 PM

I’m not doing too much for Thanksgiving. I made some peanut butter cups today. On Thanksgiving day I’ll sit around with my family and watch the Cowboys lose, again, and then eat and pray for the turkey to be eaten so we don’t have leftovers.

To whoever saw I <3 Huckabee’s. Was it any good? or should I wait for it to go to the dollar movies?

Thanksgiving Day Frag-Fest. After dinner destruction with a group of friends and Halo 2

FINISH COBRAS CHIA PLOT! AHHHH!

Chestnuts roasted by VernalTrout @ 11/24/2004 12:01 PM

This Thanksgiving will be exactly the same as every other one- off to Grandma’s for dinner. Good times.
And Matt- did I ever mention that I love the "Thanksgiving layout"? I know I’m a little late with that.

Chestnuts roasted by Rainbowfeet @ 11/24/2004 12:36 PM

Matt, I just saw a banner ad, on some web site, for the Golden Girls DVD that came out yesterday. Did you pick it up yet? ;) It reminded me of you, so, I thought I’d remind you incase you forgot. (Pssh! How silly of me to think you might’ve, right?)

For Thanksgiving, I’ll be … hmm, eating something vegan (not sure what, yet) and hopefully napping, since I’ll have to get up at around 3:30 am, to be at TRU by 5am … -.-; Damn the Green Friday! (Yeah, that’s what TRU calls it…)

Chestnuts roasted by Ryane @ 11/24/2004 12:45 PM

I <3 Huckabees was a lot funnier than I expected (I wanted to see Spongebob, myself). It’s so gaddamned bizarre that it might not even hit the dollar theaters, but unless you’ve got a reason you really want to see it I’d say it won’t kill you to wait for the DVD. I actually liked it quite a bit, but I think it’s partly because it’s so off the wall that it caught me off guard.

Ohhhhhhhhh man, I just tasted the weirdest shit tonight. It was beer that had caffeine, ginseng, all that shit they put in energy drinks. It had a weird "tart" flavor going down but the after taste was a weird beer taste. Has anyone else tried it? Its made by anheuser busch…definitely a weird taste.

I’m getting dragged to England to eat Thanksgiving dinner with my mother in law. Just kidding, I’m sure it will be fun, but I’m missing practice with my team, the Giessen Golden Dragons.

Between finally playing tackle football again and X-E, I can actually stand living here in Germany, though I’m pissed that I won’t be able to partake in the Thanksgiving tradition of watching the Lions win and pray the Cowboys get stomped on television.

Alright, I’m going to go now…

P.S. Matt, still want some Kinder Eggs?

Chestnuts roasted by EMajorwitz @ 11/24/2004 4:02 AM

Matt,

You probably are tired of me asking if you want Kinder Eggs, but they do have an Advent Calendar out this year…

Just picture it, you can do TWO Advent Calendars!!!

Eat the chocolate you call inedible, put the toy together, and have it do battle with Mare W. and her third batch of Playmobil legion.

I smell ratings!

Semper Fi,
Erik Majorwitz
