Fear Fest: Mutually Assured Destruction, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
OCTOBER 31st, Mutually Assured Destruction, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.
“War …
War never changes…
Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing path with rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God, to justice, to simple psychotic rage.”
-Ron Pearlman as the Narrator of Fallout
Here we are. We made it. I’m not going to lie, I fully expected to quit halfway through this thing. Through trials and tribulations, I managed to hang on. So here we go the final fear of Fear Fest.
MAD or Mutually Assured Destruction refers to a scenario in which one super power launches their nuclear stock pile. This creates a chain reaction that causes a retaliatory strike from one or more countries. If this happened between the US and Russia, there would be no need to include any other countries. We’d crack the Earth like an egg.

THIS WEEK ON Dexter: The Angel of Death.
Is anything going on in this season of Dexter? Is there ice on the tarmac? What the fucking is going on. I couldn’t believe when I heard that this was the fifth episode of the season. It’s a yawntacular batch of nothingness. It’s the television equivalent of entropy. It isn’t good, it isn’t bad. It’s just…there.
‘Iron Man 3’ Director Confirms Paltrow, Cheadle and Favreau. Party Time?
Shane Black, director of Iron Man 3, recently dropped some info-bombs regarding the third flick in the trilogy of techno-fetish bells-and-whistles nonsense.
Video: ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ Gets The Taiwanese Animation Treatment. Tricycle Horror!
Taiwanese animation insanity factory has offered up their latest ‘trailer’, this time for GTA V. It’s about as ridiculous as you should expect all their trailers to be by this time.

NASA Confirms One Of Its Satellites Was Hacked. Laser Attack INC!
Hacking is some dastardly shit. Though sort of interesting. Last month we heard that US drones were infected with a virus. Today? Today we’re hearing NASA has had one of its satellites hacked.
Set Photos: ‘The Hobbit’ Gets Some Shire Love.
Every once in a while I remember that The Hobbit is going down. I get momentarily excited before this fact drifts deeper into my unconscious again. Today I remembered!, courtesy of some quality set photos.
OCTOBERFEAST – Christopher Lee
Lo! The vortex on the horizon – do you see it? Surely you must! It’s a gargantuan cyclone, an indomitable mass of swirling purple and orange and black. Those protesters who’ve spent the last month screaming at the revelers, naysaying and posturing themselves above the traditions of candied-chaos? Well, they’ll be summarily swept away, fallen victim to the natural disaster that’s been summoned by the OCTOBERFEAST celebrants to end the festival most tempestuously.
It’s the Tornado of Souls.
Look closer! At the top of the soul-storm is a wicker chair, stationery despite its position. The twister slowly diminishes as makes its way towards the campgrounds, giving all present parties a better view of both the chair and the individual sitting in it. He is aged but regal. Grey-haired but black-hearted. Avuncular but assailing.
Riding into the grand finale of the OCTOBERFEAST on a goddamn tornado-chair, this is figure represents evil incarnate in a way no other ever has.
This man is Christopher Lee. And he’s responsible for more cinematic villainy than anyone else on the planet.
Video: ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’ Gets Halloween Trailer, References French Revolution.
The uncomfortably objectifying yet sadly fucking irresistible to my fat-male-brain Lollipop Chainsaw has gotten a new trailer dropped specifically for good old Halloween. It’s what you’d expect: madness, sexuality and…a French Revolution reference? Couldn’t help but laugh.

Nicolas Winding Refn’s Remake Of ‘Logan’s Run’ Gets A Writer. Nice.
Nicolas Winding Refn can do whatever he wants. I’ll be there. Arms wide open. Drive was a male-ovaries swelling ballad of art house destruction and sheen, and after that flick I’m ready to pick up whatever he’s putting down. He’s involved with a Logan’s Run remake which has recently picked up a writer.
Video: Boston Dynamics Is Building A Real Cylon. We Learn *Nothing*.
The people behind the robotic Hounds of Hell are now bringing about a fucking headless robot Cylcon future-annihilator. My lord.
