Goodbye,ASH VS. EVIL DEAD. It Was Really Nice Knowing You.

Three years after it premiered on the Starz cable channel,Starz has announced today that the Season Three finale for ASH VS. EVIL DEAD will be its very last episode.

It was nice that Sam Raimi,Rob Tapert,and Bruce Campbell brought back Ash and his fight against the Deadites for the new generation of fans that loudly demanded for a new fourth EVIL DEAD film,with that very show being the answer since channels such as Starz was the only place to go for fully uncut and unrated gory violence amid Ash continuing his comedic persona that he displayed in ARMY OF DARKNESS and having the strong aid of two Hispanic twentysomethings in his fight against the supernatural world of demons and the undead.   Like THE WALKING DEAD,it started out strong with high television viewership ratings but as each season approached the ratings sank lower and lower.

Like many films and cable television shows,ASH VS. EVIL DEAD was also a popularly pirated program getting numerous torrent downloads with half of the fans and industry based people pointing the finger at the pirates,for as far as it goes with me I actually blame Starz for not having enough faith in wanting to continuing on the series,since AMC is still strongly sticking to THE WALKING DEAD despite its increasingly sinking TV ratings and the Starz channel being not available in several areas(ala the El Rey Network),as well as both the fans for not being faithfully there to watch the series on a weekly basis and Sam,Rob,and Bruce for growing tired of the series and feeling the urge to not continue on in furtherly carrying on Ash’s adventures as impended plans for a feature film based on the series was reportedly in the works but has been canned.

Neverless,it’s sad that we’ll never get to see the likes of not only Ash encountering and teaming up with Mia(Jane Levy’s EVIL DEAD 2013 character) to take on the Deadites,but also seeing Ash drawn into a battle with Captain Spaulding,Otis B. Driftwood,and Baby Firefly and the rest of the Firefly Family clan when they steal the Necronomicom to literally stir up Hell on Earth as that latter showdown would have been so fun to watch,for it was a good run while it lasted and I hope that Ash enjoys his permanent vacation since he has pretty much earned it.

The Conor McGregor Debacle

A lot has happened in recent weeks,with not only A QUIET PLACE becoming the week’s No. 1 film at the box office but also the likes of a crazy Palestine gal who shot up the headquarters of YouTube before being taken down(and shot to death) by the police,Russian bots infiltrating Facebook which got its creator Mark Zuckerman to testify in front of Congress(with the far right praying that this move would permanently destroy both Facebook and all of social media),and Conor McGregor getting into trouble over having an anger management issue and trashing a bus full of his fellow UFC fighters while they were all in New York for their event that happened during the WWE;s WrestleMania weekend.

Since this event took place during WrestleMania weekend,I thought at first it was all a work that both only Conor and UFC’s head chief Dana White were behind just to draw the attention away from WrestleMania in terms of how Dana overreacted to this happening and vowing to both fire his current moneymaking cash draw and have placed in jail,but in the later following days I realized that Conor did have a meltdown and that it wasn’t all an act(or a work) since this is all harboring upon whether o not Conor has a severe drug problem(as do several of the people in the UFC) since he acts like he is high on something,ala both Dana and his boy Joe Rogan.   I don’t want to speculate anything,but whatever is the case maybe hopefully Conor will straighten up his act and Dana will stop over-reacting since Conor severely needs Dana as much as Dana severely needs Conor as Conor will eventually get this thing behind him and work for the UFC again,otherwise losing Conor over something like this will only financially cripple the UFC since the fighters are the show over there and not the immersive egos of both Dana White and Joe Rogan.

Now It’s Roseanne Barr Who is Further Politically Dividing America

Yeah,Roseanne Barr has resurrected her late 80s/early 90s television series ROSEAANE for a nine episode reboot,which has so far done very successful for her on the exception that the Roseanne characters share one common thing with the super obnoxious and extremely loud real life Roseanne: they are both avid President Donald Trump supporters,and that Roseanne Barr is a liberal hating far right wing conservative.

While most of the people on-line have given her new show a lot of praise,I haven’t bothered–and won’t–watch it due to the fact that Roseanne Barr is a super nasty person that is more nuts than the title of her previous short lived television series ROSEANNE’S NUTS(which had her in control of a Maui,Hawaii-based macadamia nuts company) for now that she’s become a far right wing conservative,an Infowars/Alex Jones sis(as in Sista/Sister) warrior,and a Trump worshipper she has become more increasingly obnoxious and hateful now that her TV reboot is going on,for I can easily predict that The Yenta Queen’s rebooted television show will Not be renewed due to Roseanne allowing her ego and her super bad attitude running out-of-control without stopping at the red light and that she’ll easily self destruct now that she is succeeding in the far right wing’s plans in further dividing America and turning friends and supporters to run against each other over her and her worthless reboot show,which didn’t really need to be revisited as both John Goodman and Laurie Metcalf look very miserable being on this show since they’re merely in it for the mucho paying paychecks that come along with their gigs as was previously seen on Roseanne’s and Goodman’s recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel’s late night talk show,with Roseanne cussing out Kimmel for asking her about her change in her political stance(from being a liberal to becoming a conservative) while Goodman looked depressed and as if he’d rather leap off from a large bridge than be there to help plug Roseanne’s televisied claptrap.

I may be losing friends and supporters over my anti-Roseanne comments,but since I’m the guy who gives zero fucks(and wisely ignores those who attempt to draw me into their arguments) there is just no way–No Way(!!!!)–that I’m going to bow down to Roseanne’s rebooted show on the merits that it was groundbreaking in a handful of things(such as how end credits on television shows are displayed,and the realistic portrayal of a low income family) since the ROSEANNE show is a thing of the past that needs to be left in the past as much as Roseanne Barr truly does need to be permanently left in,for her ex-husband Tom Arnold shares the same common in Tommy Lee in being permanently away from his ex-partner in life.

The Kids Are Indeed Alright,And Millennials Are Actually Wise And Smart,After All

Many people may say lots of damning things about the new generation of teens and adults that are known as the Millennials,but they will now have to agree that the Millennials are actually smart and wise when it comes to their politics this years as the Parkland high school shooting survivors/students have once again given the big and gigantic middle finger(and a Jim Cornette style “Fuck You !!!”) to the Tea Party organized Republican party,the far right wing conspiracy theorists/Truthers shitbags/fuckfaces(that heavily plague the Internet),the fetchingly brownnosing Libertarians,the Ronald Reagan worshipping trolls,all of the far ight wing politicians(such as Mitch McConnell and Mike Pence)and all of their braindead supporters in this past weekend’s March For Our Lives event that was nationwide everywhere.

Intended as a anti-Vietnam war style protest against gun violence and the NRA,the March For Our Lives event was actually a major protest against the Tea Party’s attempt to steal away normalcy from the American public and their attempts to bring America (and all of American society) back to the witch burning pilgrim era(where nobody had rights) as the Parkland teens and the protesters mightily showed how American society is still socially progressive and,despite society being socially divided by both the Tea Party and Donald Trump’s Presidency,how many people are socially aware of what is going on in society and aren’t afraid of bravely taking a stand against Any of the anti-Barack Obama politicians and all of the far right wing politicians that yearn to transform America into their own twisted vision. As far as it goes,these young survivors and these protesting teens are truly possible future politicians that’ll rightfully turn things around that both The Baby Boomers(of the 60s) and my generation(the 70s and the 80s) have mightily failed to do and allowed the Republicans to take our society several steps back instead of thrusting us all forward into the future,for (the late) Whitley Houston was right that the children are indeed our future.

Viva La Protesters And Viva La Millenials(That Are Wise In protecting Our Progressive Values) !!!

And a quick message to the idiot in The Eagles Of Death Metal(who spoke out against the March For Our Lives event): you are an idiot and your band is superlame, The Parkland teens and the March For Our Lives protesters will certainly outlast you(and your superlame band),you idiot !!!

Strongly Support These Indie Genre Cinema Projects(If You Yearn For Major Quality Horror/Genre Films)

Yeah,I heard the news that erupted today(as of this writing) about Rob Zombie’s new HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES/DEVIL’S REJECTS sequel 3 FROM HELL with no news on its storyline or which certain name value celebrities will be making Quinten Tarantino-esque cameos.

While all in the horror news sites media were busy throwing their on-line congo beach parties on various social media networks,I wisely decided that I should just post link to a handful of ambitious and intriguing horror/genre related film projects that could really need some much needed spare pocket change(as well as some much needed heavily plugged shared publicity) to get them officially transformed into films(that are much needed alternatives to the ever continuing plague of gratuitous remakes,torture porn,more gratuitous remakes,found footage,and even more gratuitous remakes)…

Guns,Arming Teachers,Motormouth Truthers,Clueless Conservatives,Crisis Actors: AARRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!

The controversy surround the recent Parkland,Florida shooting tragedy continues onward,with the Parkland school teen students mightily crusading while the clueless conservative politicians and media figures alongside the lunatic far right wing conservative conspiracy theorists Truthers are viciously criticizing those very students with some of those figures even falsely claiming that those teens are actors and actresses for the liberal and Democratic side: AARRRGGGGHHHH !!!!

Even worse is that there is now rumors that the conservative politicians are considering heavily arming teachers with guns,a move which will absolutely solve nothing–NOTHING !!!–,for had the unpleasant and grouchy middle aged-to-elderly teachers that I had during my days in elementary,junior high,and high school(in the 70s and the early 80s) been packing pistols they would have been criminally indicted for killing a lot of students for either being unruly,disagreeing with them,or catching them smoking a joint.  That rumored move will only make the teacher even more God complexed and insane as there is no telling upon what will happen and how many lives will be taken if those teachers do get wrongfully armed.

I never bother to discuss the gun issue(as well as the religion issue),since we have a Second Amendment that gives us a right to have a gun,for it is the people that have to be mentally sane enough to have a gun and to use that gun for rightful purposes instead of getting out-of-line and out-of-control like Randall Pierce and George Zimmerman,since while we do need some stricter gun control laws and anti-crime laws since too many people get away with murder whether if it is road rage,celebrity,millionaire,or political related(and that includes mayors,govenrnors,senators,and every other politicians) and criticizing the NRA(National Rifle Association) isn’t going to solve nothing and will only further stir up the conservatives in their anti-liberals/anti-Democrats crusades since they hungrily thrive on that stuff.

As the conservatives are pointing the finger at porn,video games,movies,and Democratic liberals,the problem will only continue on as the only thing to come out of this is that those crusading teens will be future voters that’ll mightily help overturn gerrymandering and voter regulations and keep those far right wing Alt Right/Tea Party backed(and controlled),Ronald Reagan worshipping Libertarian/Republican politicians permanently out of office since nobody wants their fascist leaning politics looming around their street block.

Fangoria Magazine Planning A Comeback(Of Sorts)

http://www.fangoria.com/

Since they closed up publishing a year ago,a handful of fans have been waxing enthusiasm upon what Fangoria magazine meant to them,even though its glory days were in the early 80s and sadly became a monopoly-esque comglamorate in the late 80s that made it(along with its conventions) as the only place in town to get exposure. Fango was also never kind to the little guy who was indie-to-the-hilt(not corporate Sundance/Hollywood indie) and burned it back on him,which is what drove the little guy to the many latter magazines and genre sites that widely opened up in the mid 00s/2000s that caused Fango to mightily fall in 2009.

Today comes news that Fangoria magazine is planning a comeback into the printed market format,which might have those hungering for a Fango comeback heavily marking out(or,as the fanboys love to coin it,geeking out).

As far as it goes for me,I’m not moved by it nor do I care if they return although it would be really nice if they completely keep the like of Tom DeFeo,his crew,and(most importantly of all) Tony Timpone out of the mix and return to the convention circuit for the sake of having shows/events in Los Angeles,Las Vegas,San Francisco/San Jose,Chicago,and New York as those areas are in desperate need of conventions that the likes of DaysOfTheDead,Monsterpalooza,Horrorhound,Mad Monster Party,Monster Mania,and Flashback Weekend never care to consider travelling to do shows in.

Otherwise,don’t expect to see me too excited about Fangoria planning their return to publishing since I just want to see them take their baby steps and see where they go from there.

BTW: A Big Fuck You to all of the PC leaning male feminists that are out there,for that crowd is much worse than the SJWs.  And A Really Big Fuck You to Nikolaus Cruz for shooting up his school in Parkland,Florida and killing 17 people,for he’s as bad as those two Columbine asshole shooters(Rest In Piss And Shit) and the far right wing lunatics that place the blame on progressive liberals.

I’ll just close out this blog entry with this rare performance from The Power Station(in the mid 90s),as they perform in front of a really dead audience…
