GothWatch Prime: Lydia Deetz

Posted on 31/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

On the off-chance anyone was looking for recommendations, I’d have to say that Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice (1988) is pretty much the perfect Halloween movie… macabre, creepy, bawdy, colourful, silly, sweet, sharp, laugh-out-loud funny, and wholly unique. It’s also the movie … Continue reading →

Not So “Incy-Wincy”…

Posted on 28/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains terrible “web-site” puns and SPOILERS!!!] I was researching the myth of Arachne for a script, when I discovered that she’d appeared as a monster-of-the-week in an episode of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (#4.4), so I decided to give it … Continue reading →

Xena-Philia 2: Immortal Be-loathed

Posted on 26/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains fake wooden throwing thingies and SPOILERS!!!] The second season of Xena: Warrior Princess (1996) boasted two significant (but temporary) character deaths… the first came at the end of ep #2.5, when a callous ‘Xena’ (Lucy Lawless) left a defeated … Continue reading →

From Slushies To Slashers…

Posted on 23/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

I didn’t take much notice of Scream Queens when it first started airing in September because the reviews were so dire, and I’d long since given up on Ryan Murphy’s other horror anthology series, American Horror Story*… but then trailers started … Continue reading →

“Coding & Arm-Butts”

Posted on 21/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

I’m still plodding my way through the 35th season of Saturday Night Live, but this week I had to jump forward to the current (41st!) incarnation, to enjoy a partial 30 Rock reunion prompted by Tracy Morgan’s return to the … Continue reading →

Hambrosia: Fool Of The Gods

Posted on 17/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains pubic puppet-strings and SPOILERS!!!] Despite professing to be a fan of The Heart, She Holler in the past, I somehow failed to notice the show’s third season airing all the way back in December (2014)! Gah! Self-flagellation aside, this … Continue reading →

Fresmaybe…?

Posted on 14/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

[Contains cash-poor sex-shops and SPOILERS!!!] The last time I checked, Addicted to Fresno (2015) had a rating in the 30%-range on both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes… which seems a little harsh to me. By my reckoning, this dark indie comedy … Continue reading →

Convidence

Posted on 12/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

Although I’ve enjoyed Demi Lovato’s acting work in the past, I haven’t paid much attention to her subsequent career as a pop singer (and talent show judge)… until last week, that is, when she released a new promo video directed by … Continue reading →

Saturday Night Slate

Posted on 11/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

Morbid curiosity finally got the better of me, and I decided to start working through Jenny Slate’s infamous/inglorious stint on the 35th(!) season of Saturday Night Live (2009)… I already knew that she’d been fired for accidentally dropping an F-bomb live on-air, … Continue reading →

¿Minino Más Rápido?

Posted on 04/10/2015 by Dee CrowSeer

I try not to get too excited about movies/shows that haven’t been released (or even finished) yet, but my pulse-rate did rise a little when I read a recent GQ interview with Stephanie Beatriz and she mentioned being cast in … Continue reading →
