One of the best Vampire movies out there

 

Dracula, Angel, Spike, Blade, Edward. Which one of those doesn’t belong?

Let me start off by saying, “I love Vampire movies.” I like anything that’s going to scare me. Lately, Hollywood has lacked…dare I say it…balls to scare me. Any “scary” movie that has come out in the last 10 years has done nothing. I take that back. There was one scene in Freddy Vs Jason that got me to jump, and it wasn’t even a part that was supposed to scare you. But, back to the Vampires.

Ever since those God-awful books came out, it marked the death of the real Vampires. Gone were the rules. Gone were the “I want to eat you” mentality. In comes glitter. GLITTER! I don’t think my point is coming through here. THEY F’N GLITTER, and in comes a love story that makes you want to lose your lunch everyday for the rest of your life. I like romance. You could call me a hopeless romantic through and through, but that love story makes no sense. She isn’t a Vampire slayer, so it’s not a forbidden love. Nope, just two people in love and one glitters.

You see it everywhere. The CW has a Vampire show that I can’t name because, from the previews, it just looks boring, so I don’t even bother with it. However, True Blood over on HBO seems to have some steam behind it. Maybe, just maybe, the Vampires still live; just not in that world created by a woman who was kicked out of the Vampire literary council (note: tried to find a link, but Google is failing me on this one) for damaging the image of Vampires in the 21st century. You think I am kidding, but it happened.

I, SuperMonk, hereby declare that the Vampire as we know it-loved it and enjoyed watching it-IS DEAD. May the world forgive us for what they have done.

Enjoy the opening to the last great Vampire Franchise

I can’t tell you how long overdue this is. “Buckcherry” deserved to be on the Black List for their crimes against music, long  before we even decided to do the Monk’s House Black List! To exacerbate the problem, this band is a repeat offender. However after a heated “debate”
(if you can call it that) I had with a drunk broad at the bar the other night, it’s been bumped up to the top of my priority list. Some ass wipe who shouldn’t be allowed within 100 yards of a bar that offers karoke, grabbed the mic and proceeded to sing along to “Crazy Bitch”. I wish I could say they slaughtered the song, which often times is the case when intoxicated individuals partake in karoke, but it’s really not possible when a song is splatter all over the floor to begin with. I stated the fact that “Crazy Bitch is one of the worst songs EVER!” when another patron, ironically an intoxicated female wearing a wife beater (imagine that), emphatically disagreed with me. 

I don’t feel I need to elaborate on this at all, but for the sake of objective journalism I will. Lyrically it’s one of the most mentally void songs ever produced. There’s probably a grand total of five sentences that are repeated for the duration of the song. The result of probably about five seconds of Josh Todd’s hashed out brain storming produced the inspiring: “Hey! You’re a crazy bitch. But you fuck so good I’m on top of it. When I dream I’m doin’ you all night. Scratches all down my back keep me right on.” Pretty much repeat this bit with a couple other random words thrown in here and there for roughly three minutes and you have a “song”. Or so Buckcherry claims it to be. In all actuality it’s an abomination. What’s worse, it’s become the unofficial “jam” for any ugly, overweight, nasty woman who, in their own little worlds seem to think they’re “all that”. And a bag of chips. Which a large quantity of chips probably contributed to their physique.

Just when you think this song couldn’t possibly become any worse, the fact that it was excessively over played on the radio, coupled with the fact you hear it damn near everytime you go to a bar where a high percentage of ugly, bad bitches congregate, said bitches sing along to it. As if Josh Todd’s vocals weren’t annoyingly shitty enough, the orchestra of out of tune trash joins in for accompaniment! Whenever I hear this “number” I have an instant, predetermined set of responses: If it’s on the radio the “seek” button is smashed into the dashboard. If I’m at a bar, I instantly head towards the restroom to relieve myself. If anyone makes the blatantly ignorant comment along the lines of “I love this song!” I instantly engage them in a debate and set them straight as to why it should be loathed and not loved.

A case could be made for additional charges of “Crimes Against Music” to be filed against Buckcherry. “All Night Long” immediately comes to mind. However, “Crazy Bitch” provides us with more than enough solid evidence to justify “Black List” banishment. In closing, I highly recommend you NOT listen to the provided audio clip evidence. It’s minutes of your life you will never be able to get back.


(Editors Note:Suck It Hollywood is part of the new Black List category, where we will review movies and upcoming movies that should have never been or are being made. In this instance I will be talking about the upcoming movie of the Three Stooges, and how it is doomed to failure.)

If your a fan of ‘The Boys” , when news broke of a big budget movie, you were like me, ecstatic that they were finally hitting the big screen. Then came some of the details of the upcoming movie. First we learned who was going to be playing the Stooges, Will Sasso(Curly), Chris Damantopoulos(Moe) and Sean Hayes(Larry). That in itself is what I refer to as an EPIC FAILURE. The only one of the three that I can remotely see playing a Stooge is  Will Sasso. The other two will doom this movie to failure. And now comes word that Glee star Jane Lynch will be playing Mother Superior! Anything  Glee touching this film is a fucking abomination! The only good news about the project seems to be they are not going to fuck up the comedy by “Will Ferrell-ing” it. They seem to be going in the original direction of Stooge comedy, which is a physical comedy. Screenrant reports, “Three Stooges won’t push the boundaries of good taste or be overflowing with bathroom-related gags and humor. The film will instead use the original Stooges’ brand of cartoonish physical comedy (lots of slaps and eye-pokes) as a means of getting laughs”.
We can take small measure in that fact. The storyline however is another matter altogether. I like the idea of what I have read so far of three short 30 minute episodes in one movie. Each episode would pay homage to different phases of their lives. However, with the crap acting sure to follow given the casting decisions. Who the hell would want to pay good money for Hollywood to ruin a classic franchise, yet again?.. With Lynch being added to the cast, we now have a pretty good idea of where this movie is going. Which pisses me of to no end, it is also why I decided this was worthy of a big fat SUCK IT HOLLYWOOD!!!
Bonus:Some great classic Stooge Comedy For Your Viewing Pleasure…..

I recently stumbled across this video. (Last Night) I was shocked that it had 37,000 views, with 100 likes and 0 dislikes. It rates as one of the gayest worst videos I have ever seen. The weird part is what came to mind next, and by weird I mean disturbing. Upon hearing this I thought of a meeting of all The House writers that will be happening in a few weeks. I immediately imagined walking into the hotel bar, and upon entering witnessing BMJ, Jishwah & TheDrunkn’Monk with their “Man Friend”, listening to Tori Amos’s “Reign in Blood”  in the background…. Disturbing I know…….I your humble Monk shall cowboy up and be the first to press dislike on the songs YouTube page. Might I suggest you do the same?………
Yes I know her version was ‘Raining in Blood”, but come on give me a break….:)

At The House we are always discussing new ways and forms in which to bring you, our gentle readers more entertaining articles. The idea of ‘The Black List’ is to feature songs, bands, actors and actresses, movies and television shows that should have never been allowed to see the light of day. In our collective opinions(Except TheBohemianDamsel & BMJ, THEY WATCH Glee and Jersey shore for crying out loud), these are forms of entertainment that you should never had to  endure.  The Black List will feature such articles as Crimes Against Music, Suck It Hollywood, and Waste of Time TV. We Shall kickoff this new forte with a Crimes Against Music debut.
I have chosen the obvious and obligatory Nickelback ‘Rockstar’, to kickoff our Crimes Against Music section. Now I could go into a long paragraph length article on why Nickelback should receive this honor. However, as my wise grandpappy use to say,”Work smarter not harder”, who am I to argue? No paragraph needed when the following three words shall suffice for any and all feelings regarding Nickelback. DIE, DIE,DIE………..
