I just signed up to Fantasy Moguls.
It's like a sports fantasy league, only it's based on movie releases and box office, etc. I created an Annekenstein Monster league, if anybody would like to play.
Just go to Fantasy Moguls and sign up. it's free. Then, head on over to The Annekenstein Monster League, and join it. psst, the password is annekenstein
You're given $100 and you pick up to 10 movies which you think will do well at the box office. Then each week, your score is tabulated... etc etc.
My league has room for 10 people, and the deadline to join is Monday, Dec.24.
No pressure.

Maritime Electric Christmas TV Ads
Okay, so I'm going to try and be delicate here, because it's entirely possible that a young local-star-in-training will Google herself (get your mind outta that gutter) someday and come across this post. And far be it from me (is that the phrase?) to cause a future star in ACT's future-cast production of "12 Angry Men" (I know! Casting women in the roles!!) to get sad from any kind of negative reactions... But...
Are you familiar with those Maritime Electric Christmas TV ads? The ones with the dolled-up young lady talking about the benefits of LED lights and all sorts of whatnot. Okay, if you are familiar with them, then there's really no need in me talking about them, because, unless you are the child's parents, you will agree with me. Enough said.
On an entirely unrelated topic (delicacy, remember?): Do you remember that entertainment-news item years ago (and also a sub-plot in a singular episode of "Seinfeld") where this guy went into convulsions every time heard Mary Hart's voice? Yeah, that was something.

Phone Call to the 14th Century
Came across a funny audio clip by a comedy group called Kasper Hauser. They're based out of San Fransisco.
Premise of this sketch is a game show where contestants have 30 seconds to speak into a phone to some random someone from the 14th century. Contestants are rewarded points based on the information they impart to their historical phone-mate.
Funny concept. And the execution of it is pretty funny too.
To check it out, click on the pink "go" button (that's what she said):

Time's Top 25 Horror Movies
While there will never be a definitive list of anything, ever, this is a pretty good list of horror movies. Most I've seen, the rest I'd like to see, many I now want to see again.
Here's the list. It's from Time's Richard Corliss, who's a movie reviewer I quite like.
What are your favourite horror movies? And by 'your', I am, of course, talking to the ghosts who are the only spirits who likely will read this.
My top 3:
The Exorcist
Halloween
The Changeling
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)
That's right, my top 3 has 4 films in it.

Pierre Trudeau Video Contest
Sketch22 recently entered the Funny or Die "Pierre Trudeau said there'd be days like this" video contest. This Canadian-focused contest asked participants to upload a 2-minute video with the criteria that "Pierre Trudeau said there'd be days like this" included somehow in the video.
The top five videos would be chosen and on Oct.2 would be shown at the Rivoli in Toronto before an audience, who would then vote for their favourite among the five. The top vote-getting video gets $1000.00.
Sketch22's video has made it into the top five!!
I don't think we'll win (that would be the Days Like This video, I'm guessing), but I think ours is Top Two material.
UPDATE: So, the winning video was "Everyday Life (Reality Show)". It was my second least favourite of the five. Go figure.
Here are the Top Five:
Not sure if any of the Sketch crew will be able to make it to Toronto to represent, but let's all send good PEI vibes to the Rivoli on Tuesday night!
