Brain Freeze | "DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"

(thanks, CoolCoolMovies!)

Oof. Well, today was kind of non-productive on a few levels, but that’s probably a good thing. I’m still toiling away on a bunch of stuff (some reviews, a few post CE Week articles and some brief impressions of a few games I saw recently), but I have a kind of kooky week coming up and am conserving energy for some of these events. As the weather folks say it’s going to be a bit of a thunderstorm-y start to the week, that means I need to break out the broken umbrella and keep my paws crossed that it survives the early Monday morning trek I need to make.

As for that clip above, it serves double duty as description and hilariously violent reminder that there was a Punisher movie (from 2004) I’d actually never seen before last night. I found it to be pretty terrible overall (a lack of dialog, humor that doesn’t work properly and some odd casting choices make it more “interesting” than watchable), but you do get to see John Travolta’s evil Howard Knight character get bumped off in a really creative manner. Hey, I was laughing through the bulk of the action scenes here and while the film is quite heavy on the carnage, it still doesn’t beat The Punisher: War Zone for pure nastiness and mean-spirited (or REALLY over the top and hilarious) violent content. Not that I’m in a violent mood or anything, folks – bad movies of all types just make me laugh a lot when I need to…

Hmmmm. I think I need some ice cream or something… back in a bit.

Ha. I actually had a TOTAL *blink* moment today where I just shut down cold in the middle of a post and couldn’t finish what I was working on. I’m gathering this might be a weather and seasonal related deal, as winters are a bit rough on my generally sunny outlook. Cloudy with a chance of what the heck was I thinking when I started writing? This happens every so often, but I wouldn’t call it “writer’s block” at all. Eh, I just need to clear out some memory, as my poor brain is a bit clogged with stuff and sometimes backs up at the worst times. It’s kind of like a NOW LOADING screen in a game where it takes a minute or so to get to a new area or trying to watch a YouTube video on a dial-up connection and having to wait while some buffering is going on. Hmmm… perhaps someone has hacked into my poor packed cranium and is reading my jumbled thoughts so they can help organize them into neat little boxes? That would be nice I think.
