Holy crap, VHS 2 was excellent all around, but Slumber Party Alien Abduction was fucking fantastic.

    How could a flick titled "Slumber Party Alien Abduction" not be fantastic?

    I just looked it up, and that short was directed by the guy that did Hobo With a Shotgun. I'll have to watch that now.

    And his next movie is apparently going to be Blatant Violence High. 

    Awesome.

    Ah...it's a short in the film VHS2, not a stand alone film on it's own.  I get it now.  A bit slow this morning.  So VHS2 is good, is VHS 1good also?

    VHS is pretty good, worth a watch, but not outstanding. The first story after the frame is established is by far the best. It's really good. The rest are okay.

    VHS 2 is a huge improvement. All the stories are entertaining, well done, and well acted. I like the alien one the best, but the cult and zombie shorts are top-notch as well. The framing story and first story are the weak links, but only in comparison to the rest.

    I wish the VHS franchise would either abandon their bookending or actually do something with it.  As it is, it's just lame.

    They are the weakest link. A creepy hand just putting tapes into the bank of TVs and VCRs would be more effective.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...

Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/
