Because I haven't had time to give you the aftermath of the BloodRayne line, here's a me-too post. (Play along friends! Anyone can do it!): ONE (1) earliest film-related memory: Standing in line with my dad to see Empire Strikes Back. TWO (2) favorite lines from movies: "Free your mind" "Not bad for a human" THREE (3) jobs you’d do if you could not work in the “biz”: Professional chef be a number five starter CEO of Apple FOUR (4) jobs you actually have held outside the industry: Office clerk Churro vendor Creative Director Photoshop Monkey THREE (3) book authors you like: Hubbard King Stephenson TWO (2) movies you’d like to remake or properties you’d like to adapt: Hubbard's "Mission Earth" (If they can green-light Narnia, why not a 10-book sci-fi satire?) The Dragonlance Chronicles ONE (1) screenwriter you think is underrated: Mike Judge

The inimitable Dr. Boll has a treat for us this weekend. His latest masterwork, Bloodrayne . Some lucky souls have been allowed to see the finished work. Unfortunately they all seem to be haters. But is that really so hard to understand? Most humans cannot comprehend the UB genius level. We hate that which we cannot understand. That said, these sots will have their eyes stabbed out as penance for their ignorance shortly. But not us. We are ready for the weekend. We are going to prepare by fasting on nothing but blood until show time. This should get us into the mood. In fact, we're already in line at the Burbank 16. It's not very long yet, but if you wait until Friday to get your tickets you'll be very envious of our position in line. The master calls us!

Sounds like the cute little red guy is up to no good. What has the world come to? Maybe next Jim Sheridan will bring us Barney's Belfast, in which the purple fella blows up a good part of Ireland in the name of Irish Independence? It's toddler terrorism at its most bizarre. Oh, and happy new year to everyone!
