I'm a pretty frequent sufferer of Writer's Block. Obviously that's a major problem when you're trying to write a novel. In two years, I've came up with and subsequently scrapped three major ideas. Last night I watched an indie black comedy "Lady is a Vamp". A sort of half-serious vampire romance. It wasn't all that great, but I liked some aspects of it. I enjoyed the dark humor (for example, while they are trying to hide dead bodies, "Clean up your mess" from Barney starts playing). But what the movie did do for me is it gave me the idea for what I think might be my first legitimate book. I'll share more once I have a more solid story, but just for forewarning, I hope you like vampires, dark humor, and a focus on character relationships.

Oh yeah, I finally saw "Jacob's Ladder" because people have said it's one of the best horror movies evar. Well, this is why I don't listen to "true horror fans". I can stand weird-ass hallucinations, but that ending was bloody ridiculous. Not just in the sense that it was bad, but that it just didn't make a whole lot of sense. Suffice to say. the whole movie never really happened.

On the other hand, "The Professional" wasn't half bad. The ending I didn't particularly like though. I mean, I thought it would have been cooler if Leon survived and continued to teach Matilda to be a hitman, but that's just me. Ah, well...
