Straight Outta Silliness

A movie called "Straight Outta Compton" is currently breaking box office records, so I'm sure that you've already seen a few memes for it on the social networks.

Other than being something to do with rappers, I have no idea what "Straight Outta Compton" is actually about. I probably won't ever see it until it ends up on Netflix anyway, but since I had nothing better to do for a few minutes, I thought I'd make a few memes for it too.

If you want to make one, the "Straight Outta Somewhere" meme generator can be found at: http://www.straightouttasomewhere.com. You can upload your own picture, change its size and contrast, and add whatever place name you want. You can't, however, correct the terrible abuse of the English language to "out of".

It's one of the cleverest and most successful marketing gimmicks (for a movie which I have no interest in) that I've seen so far.

My Top Ten Pizzas in Horror Films

Everybody loves pizza, right?

From the amount of Tweets that I've been making about pizza recently, I think I may have to check into rehab for my pepperoni and sausage addiction eventually. Thus, it's only logical that I now present you with a definitive list of "My Top Ten Pizzas in Horror Films". I hope you feel hungry!


1. The House of the Devil (2009)

I doubt that there will ever be another horror film which mentions pizza as much as "The House of the Devil". From bad pizza to good pizza, it has them all. I'd even eat this one whether it's drugged or not.


2. Halloween II (2009)

Sheriff Lee Brackett (Brad Douriff) is a wonderful man for providing for his daughter Annie (Danielle Harris) and her friend Laurie Strode (Scout Taylor-Compton) with this beautiful pizza.


3. A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master (1988)

Yes, the infamous "soul food" line accompanies this meaty feast. Looks good though, doesn't it?


4. The Slumber Party Massacre (1982)

It doesn't matter if the pizza delivery guy is stone cold dead, just as long as the pizza itself is still warm.


5. The First Power (1990)

Jack the cat gets more out of the pizza than Detective Russell Logan (Lou Diamond Phillips). Obviously the cat has better taste than his caregiver.


6. House IV (1992)

It's not anchovies that you need to be scared of when your pizza becomes possessed!


7. Don't Go to Sleep (1982)

I wouldn't want to eat this after a psychopathic 8 year old girl interfered with it. She didn't even wash her hands first!


8. Slumber Party Massacre III (1990)

These "Slumber Party Massacre" movies really have a thing against pizza delivery people. This poor girl might get $46 for the pizzas and her shirt, but she doesn't get long to enjoy it. The pizzas, on the other hand, seem to vanish into the stomachs of the party girls before you get to see what they look like! They must be good then.


9. Videodrome (1983)

Just a few leftover crusts for Max Renn (James Woods) to dunk into his morning coffee. We've all done worse things.


10. Bug (2006)

Peter (Michael Shannon) and Agnes (Ashley Judd) completely waste this pizza by pulling it apart rather than eating it. I suppose you can't blame them if they think it has bugs in it.


Bonus: Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1988)

I would be very annoyed if one of these guys was in my pizza box instead of what I'd ordered! That would be truly horrific... unlike this overrated comedy-horror movie.

My Top Ten French Horror Films

Sometimes I get asked why I hate French horror films so much. It's not that I hate them though, it's just that I find them severely overrated.

Thus, I now present you with my definitive list of the best French horror films ever made!


1. Martyrs (2008)

"A young woman's quest for revenge against the people who kidnapped and tormented her as a child leads her and a friend, who is also a victim of child abuse, on a terrifying journey into a living hell of depravity."

Ignore the intentionally vague ending which tries to be too clever for its own good, and this is top notch gore!



2. Ils (aka Them) (2006)

"Lucas and Clementine live peacefully in their isolated country house, but one night they wake up to strange noise... they're not alone... and a group of hooded assailants begin to terrorize them throughout the night."

One of the most realistic home invasion movies before "The Strangers" totally ripped it off, Americanised it, and replaced the scares with boredom.



3. Eyes Without a Face (1960)

"A brilliant surgeon, Dr. Génessier, helped by his assistant Louise, kidnaps nice young women. He removes their faces and tries to graft them onto the head on his beloved daughter Christiane, whose face has been entirely spoiled in a car crash."

A classic of French horror cinema which is only available in America as an overpriced Criterion DVD that I can't afford.



4. High Tension (2003)

"Two college friends, Marie and Alexa, encounter loads of trouble (and blood) while on vacation at Alexa's parents' country home when a mysterious killer invades their quiet getaway."

Alexandre Aja's gory ripoff of a Dean R. Koontz novel called "Intensity" but with a stupid ending tacked on.



5. Er... yeah...

Regardez le tumbleweed!

So much for the French "new wave" of horror movies, eh?
