Do you like to play games?
With minimal help from my 6-year-old son, I've made a small game in Scratch called Fart Night. You play a weirdo named Drift who must defeat the zombie hordes with his potent flatulence. When Drift is running low on toots, fill up his gas meter with tacos, cans of beans, and onions (forthcoming). There is also supposed to be a boss zombie at the…

Sufjan Stevens & Lowell Brams – Aporia (2020)
This album, Aporia, came out a couple days ago as an early release for all the poor folks who are stuck at home trying not to get virused. For that, I thank you, Mr. Stevens, because I am one of those unfortunate folks. There is something magical about the mostly instrumental electronic that evokes the sentiment of a Blade Runner/cyberpunk dystopia. Put it on…

Free Music!
Nine Inch Nails just released two instrumental Ghosts albums for free download on their website. It's great for background music if you are working from home or trying to keep young children from burning down the house.

Terminator: Dark Fate
They tried so hard and got so far, but in the end it didn't even matter. When I first heard about this new Terminator sequel, I remained skeptical. The previous sequel Genisys was a complete train wreck on almost every level. The exciting part this time was that original series creator, James Cameron, was back to produce with Tim Miller (director of Deadpool) in…

Leatherface (2017)
This is the latest installment in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise. It's hard to keep track of these movies, because they did a remake in 2003, a prequel, a retconned sequel to the original 1974 film, and now this pre-prequel. The movie starts with Jed/Leatherface as a child and after a brutal murder, he is incarcerated at a psychiatric hospital for adolescents. Ten years…

The story follows Caroline (Donna D'Errico) who keeps having nightmares about Candyman and spends 95% of the movie in a tight shirt and panties. People keep dying in violent meat hooked ways, but Caroline manages to survive.…
