That's why it hasn't been released, the world is just not ready for it!

Oh well now I'm glad. I'll need to build a bomb shelter first.

GODDAMFUCKBASTARDSHIT!!
What a day it was yesterday. Started out okay, I got the kids to school, reminded them that it was going to be windy and to stay away from trees. I got home just before 9am and we got hit by one of the most powerful wind storms we've ever had. Weather mob reckon the pressure was slow low here that if it had been up north it would have been a tropical cyclone (we don't get those sort of storms this far south).
The power went out at about 9am, after 12 months (pretty much) of working from home my wife gets a call to come into the office because they had power. The car was in the garage and no power, no door, so she insisted on catching the bus, lucky it stops nearly outside the house. By lunch time there was still no power and the winds were getting stronger. I knew I had to get the kids from school at 3pm so I spent ages with the roller door banging in my ear trying to disengage the motor and make it free run. It should have been an easy job but the clutch in the motor has been causing me trouble for a few years and I can't get the motor off to replace it. I eventually get the door open and the car out, figure out a way to secure the door without the motor engaged.
Sitting at the school it felt like the car is going to take off, it's a dual cab ute with a canopy and tray full of stuff so it's not a light car. Then at 2 minutes to 3 it starts bucketing down, thankfully it was only rain and not hail because with the wind that would have hurt like hell. So then I take the kids up to my parents place because they've got a tree down. We are there until 5:30 when it's time to pick up my wife. We decide neither of us can be bothered cooking dinner so we went to get fish and chips. it was so busy there we waited nearly an hour, then we get home just before 6:30 and there is still no power. Power company says they have no idea when it's coming back on and our area still hadn't been assessed. We used to have power outages all the time when I was a kid so I'm not worried, and I've set up solar/battery lights everywhere, about the only thing we couldn't do was watch TV, but still the kids kept coming up with reasons why power outages suck!. Power finally came on a midnight, wind eased and now today it's pouring rain.
But worst of all I didn't get down to the shop to check out the new releases!!

Thankfully the day was more annoying that damaging, for us anyway. The tree wasn't huge, only about 30 feet, it had a forked trunk and one side went about 10am what was left went about lunch time but it didn't land on anything but grass.
I haven't been down the shops yet, I'm doing some painting at the moment. might leave it to Monday to hit the CD shop.

It sounds okay, not something I'd buy but I believe it's a one track a year thing for this project.

Holy crap! I thought yesterday was bad!!
If anyone ever asks me would I rather be kicked in the nuts, have my toenails pulled out with pliers and be hit in the face with a hammer all at the same time, or watch the Dwellers again I'm going to have a fucking hard time choosing!!
Geez I'm glad I didn't pay for that. What an atrocious piece of shit that movie is.
The story/idea isn't too bad, even the idea of "found footage" kind of works, but the execution sucks.
Drew is a terrible actor often smirking and smiling while he's trying to be scared or serious.
There is massive inconsistencies which were overlooked in the production where scenes were filmed out of sequence and things were missed.
Shit like Drew's hands being bright red with blood but every scene he's pushing his hair out of his face but his hair never clots with blood, and his face never becomes red where he touches it. He's wearing an Ellefson t-shirt of some kind under his jacket and white business like shirt, the jacket and shirt get covered in dirt and mud and blood, the Ellefson shirt doesn't. Towards the end after they have spent hours or days down there, Drew's hands are mysterious clean but his hair still isn't covered in blood rather it looks like it was just washed.
The whole premise of the cop questioning the survivor is poorly done and hints from the get go that it's all fake.
The supposed 'reveals' that happen like blood on the walls, broken lights flashing at the worst time and homeless people appear is all done poorly and adds to the fakeness. The dead (or nearly dead) look poorly made up and almost look like they are waiting to be tickled not actually play a role.
Ellefson and Thom are only in one scene and they are both overacting, although I never realised just how big Thom was. I knew he was a fat bastard but fuck, he's man mountain in a hotel room! Drew also comes off as a first class dick, I don't know if that is deliberate or done for the movie but holy shit, by the end of the show you feel happy the prick dies.
Oh yeah spoiler alert, the dickhead movie maker dies!
Further spoiler, the movie sucks!!

I suppose if it was my first effort behind a camera I'd expect wards like "best first film" too, but to me that's a participation award not a real award.
I think (and I could be completely wrong and judgemental) that Drew's got it in his head that he's a master film maker and story teller without a big budget and that all you need is a camera and some money to film a 'found footage' film. But the guy comes off as a real know it all smart arse on camera, it could be an act but for me is cemented the thoughts that he was arrogant and cared more about his own image than actually making something good. I've seen better put together short films by school kids. It could have been so much more with just a little bit of effort.
I don't really think this is Ellefson's fault (but I could blame Thom
), because as much as he's listed as either producer or exec. producer I'm pretty sure it's mostly Drew's doing and Ellefson came in late with the money and his name.

I love these articles. Gary says Slayer shouldn't have quit. Kerry says Slayer shouldn't have quit. Slayer could have gone on for years. Kerry wants to keep making music. Then read all the comments of people agreeing that Tom pulled the pin too early. Or that they'll be back for money, or whatever else their excuse is. These are the same commentors that have shit on every album since South Of Heaven. The same people who claim Slayer haven't released anything good in 30 years. Yet now Slayer is no more they want more. Fucking idiots!
