It may be an unlucky day for some, but for horror fans, Friday the 13th will forever be associated with gut-splatteringly good times thanks to a maniac in a hockey mask. Today I'd like to open up a discussion about the Friday the 13th flicks to hear your thoughts on a few things:
1) What's your favorite Friday the 13th movie?
2) What's your favorite Friday the 13th movie moment? (this can be a kill scene or just any scene you really enjoyed)
Now, I've already posted my list of Jason's 10 Best Kills and I still stand by that list 100%. Same goes for my Freddy's 10 Best Kills list. If I had to pick my favorite movie in the series, it would have to be Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood. Jason never looked better than he did in that one and I loved how he had a real opponent in the form of a girl with telekinetic powers. (more...)
One of the nice things about running I-Mockery is that I get a ton o' great emails from people who visit the site. Most of the time, people will write in to say they liked a certain piece or to give me suggestions for future articles, and I always appreciate that kind of stuff. However, there are some emails so awful, it amazes me that these people can find their way onto the Internet. Now, I'm not one to name names, so I'm going to keep the identity of this person protected, but I just had to share this one with you guys. This person sent me an email in regards to my "I Will Beat Pacman" music video:
"I edited your pac man music video to have no swearing. I hope you don't mind, I also think your video animation kind of matches, with me editing your song. The only reason I did this, was so everyone could watch your video."
Sounds innocent enough I suppose, but then I got to thinking, "Wait a minute, I don't really remember using any real profanity in that song." As the email stated, this person created an edited version of the video which they believed that the animation was fairly well synced with the edited music. You have to see this thing to believe it. Take a look 'n listen to both versions for yourselves and tell me what you think.
-"I Will Beat Pacman" (original unedited version)
-"I Will Beat Pacman" (massacred version)
Thank fucking god this person removed words like "hell" and "goddamn" from the song. I can't believe I ever used such language before. I should be ashamed of myself. I love how instead of bleeping out the words that were deemed offensive, this person literally just deleted chunks out of the song and let it keep on playing. And look at how perfectly the video syncs up with the music now! What's that you say? Something about 30 seconds of silence at the end of the edited version while the video continues to play? Oh, that was intentional. You just don't get it. Editing is an art, and the person who did this is a goddamned Picasso.
It's late notice, but I just found out that the "Berry Treats" episode on the Food Network's "Unwrapped" show is going to be re-airing tonight. If you get the Food Network, be sure to tune in because I appeared on that episode about 4 years ago to talk about Boo Berry. It'll be on tonight (June 10th) at 11:30pm and (June 11th) at 2:30am. If you're watching it, the segment I'm in is towards the end of the episode. Check-a-check-a-check it out yo!
More site updates coming soon...
update: I-Mockery reader Terrible-D was nice enough to record it and upload it to Youtube for those of you who weren't able to catch the showing. Hit the jump to watch it. (more...)
I think I'm in love. A few weeks before my recent vacation in Nags Head, I paid a visit to Mitsuwa Marketplace in Little Tokyo once again and came away with this amazing bag of fiery potato snacks. The snacks themselves, while definitely hotter than your average spicy potato snack, just don't taste that good at all. If you vomited into a deep fryer, shaped it into a ring and added some habanero seasoning and staleness to it, you'd have this particular Tohato snack in a nutshell. But who cares about flavor when you have a mascot like THAT!? If you can find a pepper with a more diabolical face, then I'd love to see it. Just look into those cold eyes and you'll find nothing there but a yearning for murder. I'm dead serious when I say that the Tohato pepper ranks right up there with Domo-Kun when it comes to awesomely twisted Japanese characters. If the two of them were to battle, I'd probably have a heart attack in my face from witnessing such a historic spectacle.
Now I've stated before that I don't speak a word of Japanese, but after doing some research, I've learned that there's a lot more to Tohato than just this one bag of chips with a sinister pepper wearing a Mexican wrestling mask... (more...)
I'm sure by now, you've all been huddled in a corner, naked and quivering while cursing the heavens for not providing you with weekly updates to your beloved I-Mockery. Well, shout as you may, the blame lies not within the skies, but within our simply going away on a vacation for the past week. We went to Nags Head, North Carolina with some friends (including Proto) and had a hell of a good time relaxing in the sun. I'll share more details and a few photos of it later on, but for now, I'm still trying to get my mind wrapped around the fact that I'm no longer on vacation. Sure, my body is back at home, but my mind is still on a beach where red jellyfish are washing up on the shore and there's hardly anybody else to be seen for miles.
Yesterday I posted about those intriguing black packaged Hot Wheels "Mystery" cars. The first one I received wasn't anything that amazing or anything, but it's all about the packaging, and I was hoping for better luck next time. Sure, these mystery cars aren't quite as fascinating as the Doritos X-13D Flavor Experiment, what with that dangerous looking black bag 'n all, but the car shrouded in black plastic mystery was still enough to get me to shell out 99 cents... times two!
Well anywho, as promised for today, here's what I got in my second Hot Wheels "Mystery" car pack: (more...)
