It’s common knowledge that Buffy Summers spent the summer vacation after season 1 (1997) at her dad’s crib in Los Angeles, but in this alternate universe novel, Buffy stays at home in Sunnydale. Which is really cool because we get to read about her hanging out with her buddies, Willow and Xander. One Friday evening they’re bored and visit a new traveling carnival for some innocent fun. But…this isn’t a normal carnival, oh no! It’s actually an evil traveling carnival run by werecoyotes! Awesome!
I don’t want to get too far into the details and ruin it, but the main story is about how Willow and Xander both get seduced by sexy (and secretly evil) carnival workers, so now Buffy must team up with Giles to save the day. It’s simple and fun. And at only 164 pages, I read nearly the entire novel at a concert while waiting between the bands. (It was Nix, PainGod, Dreamboat, Leadhate and Imminent End if you really must know.) My only real complaint is I didn’t feel that the banter between the Scooby Gang was as natural and charming as it is in the show. I also really missed Cordelia and Angel.
From a quick internet search it looks like writer John Vornholt mainly works in the Star Trek universe, but he has penned one other Buffy novel named “Seven Crows”, which is set in 2002. So, I might check that out next. Anyway…Coyote Moon! Short novel, easy read, quick pace, fun story. I don’t see how this could have been worked into a Season 2 episode, so reading it as a stand-alone, non-Buffyverse canon novel is perfect. Check it out.

CHOPPING MALL (1986) Chopping Maul
Saw the death metal band Maul (again) recently and it made me think about the old 80's movie Chopping Mall and how it'd be funny if somebody made some bootleg Chopping Maul merch.Also, a big shoutout to Blogger for renaming my picture from "CHOPPING MALL (1986) Chopping Maul death metal band" to "image1787756115.jpg". That's really, really fucking helpful. Thanks!

TAKEN reboot idea.
Idea for a reboot of the TAKEN movie series: It will still star Liam Neeson, but this time around Liam plays himself as he goes to different fancy Hollywood parties and takes various dumps in the upper tanks of famous people’s toilets then calls them with his slow voice and tells them that “You’ve been Taken.” As in “he’s taken a shit” in their commode. Even if there’s like 17 toilets in the house, he’ll shit in them all. Big logs. Celebrities are like “How did he shit in all of them!?” (Spoiler: he smuggled in a duffle bag of his own turds.) Eventually, after many adventures of him shitting in famous peoples toilets, he’s gets banned from attending parties, so then he goes undercover as a waiter. Larry David will overhear a guest asking, “Where did that tall waiter go?” and he’ll scream “NOOOOOOOOOO!!!” right as his phone rings. It’s Liam Neesom. “Larry…you’ve been taken.” Eventually he goes undercover as a valet at fancy restaurants and drops turd coils in people’s center console. Brad Pitt will get in his car…”What's that smell? Noooooooo!!!” His phone rings. It's Liam. “I have a certain set of skills: taking a shit in yo whip. You’ve been taken.”
As the movie series gets on to like installment 5 or 6, Liam starts upperdecking regular people's houses and in one scene in Part 9 he’s seen slowly skateboarding alongside one of those food delivery robots. His pants at his ankles as he quickly poops inside the robot. Next scene, a poor dude opens up the robot to grab his order of pickles and there’s a coiled up circular turd on top of his food with a business card that says “You’ve been taken. [heart] Liam Neeson.”
---------------------------
A few extra ideas: he eventually gets a nemesis who’s toilet he can never upperdecker. "I will find your toilet." I’m thinking maybe it could be a prequel with Carl Sagan as the man who’s toilet he could never upperdecker. It haunts Liam and drives him onward after Carl’s death.
After around Part 12 or 13, I’ll grow tired of the series and sell the idea to a large corporation who will have Laim driving around in a double-decker bus (with the steering wheel in the upper deck), but audiences will not like the idea being made into a joke and they’ll hire me to revitalize the series with a fresh script. In this new installment, the story will be darker and Laim will hire a ninja to hunt him and try to attack him 24/7. Especially when he’s undercover at a fancy dinner party. (Think Cato and Inspector Clouseau, but way more violent.)

IMDb should just put me on their payroll at this point.
For many years now IMDb has been taking my screenshots and putting them on their website. Thousands of them by this point. I really don't mind since most of them are just screenshots off of movies that I review, but the thing that irritates me is they put ads around the pictures. Seems pretty scummy to me, to make cash money off of my labor of love. I don't even make money off this shit! haha.
Here is an example, from my review for RACQUET. All of those are my screenshots.

Jim's Pizza. McKinney, TX
While looking for old movie ads, I kept seeing ads for a pizza joint in McKinney, TX called Jim's Pizza. I was curious, so I gathered a few together. I might add more later on if I see any.

Next James Bond
I don't know if they ever announced the next James Bond or not, but I think Krys Marshall would make an excellent Bond. Just my two cents.
