Off NF Streaming 5/21:

Silent House

By no means an extensive list, just of the large amount of stuff on MY list.

I’ll review them ASAP, since if you care about my reviews you might find it helpful when deciding to watch them or just let them go…putting off ‘Ravenous’ briefly for these, although I remember liking it  
The things I do for my craft…

Oh well, I’ll get to it.

Off NF Streaming 5/15:

The Dead One
Airborne
Bartleby

-Puppy >.< Yip!

Music taken away from the intro.

I figured (as advised, thank you person from a long time ago) that it might be annoying if you’re playing any other audio.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

In case anyone’s wondering, I never review a television/cable/Netflix/etc series (Basically anything with episodes) until that series is over.

Movies are much easier since even if they’re “episodic” they take at least a year or so between “episodes”.  So reviewing them is far easier in terms of relevance.

So if you’re looking for a review of ‘House of Cards’ or ‘The Walking Dead’, you won’t find any here until both series are over, if at all.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

Three things made better by the policy:
1) It’s easier!
2) It makes my brain hurt less
3) It’s more predictable for you, the reader.  You don’t have to go back re-reading old sh1t unless you want to just re-read it…no “searching in case of new material/edits”.  With the exceptions described.

Although 3 is the least important to me (sorry) it IS actually MORE anal than sometimes editing, sometimes not.  It’s a more (not totally, but more) rigid, predictable, “set” way of doing things.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

Excepting things where I may “experience” the exact same thing more than once and have a different reaction (television, movies, music and the like) I will NOT go back through my entries and edit for “current feeling” or to make it be more persuasive, “look” better, be more properly worded…

I made the entries that I made.  I’m not the same person as I was when I made them…I can’t know my exact frame of mind/reference at the time of any.  Therefore, they exist with flaws and all.

There may be a VERY few exceptions to this, but generally old posts will remain old posts; as they are, left to be read as they are.

So if something I say tomorrow seems at odds with something I said three years ago…take the much older one as a snapshot of how I felt about it THEN, and the new one as how I feel about it NOW.

Also keep in mind that my satire bits don’t ALWAYS have the warning.

Conclusion: If you’ve read a post from three years ago, it’s probably not gonna be any different if you go back and read it again.

Exceptions: VERY, VERY few outside of Music (rare), Television/Short Subject (extremely uncommon), MST3K (extremely uncommon) and Movies/Long Subject (somewhat common, actually…that’s my bread and butter, man!)

-Puppy >.< Yip!

4/22/16: Content slowly and painfully edited to look better, make sad and happy smilies work, and remove/fix bad links.

For those of you who have enjoyed my bitter, angry, frustrated posts in the past…

Sorry :(

In future Puppy will be kinder and gentler because Puppy cannot tolerate the intense pain he is very frequently forced to live with.  So, in conjunction with his psychiatrist (Yeah, really, I have one!) he shall be taking a prescription medication that (probably and hopefully) rather dulls his pain, anger, and frustration.

The flip side is it will probably dull his wit, energy, (brief moments of) happiness, etc… as well.

But hey…you gotta do what you gotta do.  Hopefully my posts will retain their level of quality. :) <---- content Puppy (That's content as in being content...there isn't a puppy inside my face).

“You have 966323 Total Visits”

Super, Super.

Enjoy the entries I’ve already made if you like, but I’ve decided to take a LONG break from this, since (virtually) noone seems to care lately.

-Puppy

Same-Day Edit:  I REALLY did laugh, too.  Briefly, but still…see ‘Pupdate 1/13/13’

I’ve decided to go vegetarian.  Again.  But this time, I think I’m really gonna do it.

Won’t be a snobby/preachy one…just a personal choice.  No CA/A contamination here.

Wish me the best.  Unless you don’t like me, in which case hope for the worst and I’ll absolutely DELIGHT in either proving you wrong by succeeding or not giving a sh1t because you’re not worth even that amount of thought/feeling.

A winner every time, no blanks!

-Puppy >.< Yip!

The following were made impossible by ConHugeCo objections:

Nigel Tufnel on “Lick My Love Pump”
James Lipton on any song/musician

Same-Day Rewrite:  When I was putting less effort into it I was getting 5K hits a day.  Putting more effort into it gets me in the 100’s.  Really fcken frustrating.  Only three ways to deal with it:
1) Ditch it
2) Work harder on it
3) View it as something to do as a hobby, not a necessity, as I always should have

I picked 3.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

Currently playing max allowable by:
Alice In Chains
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
Pixies
Smashing Pumpkins
Soundgarden
Stone Temple Pilots
Temple Of The Dog

I mix the actual songs from time to time, but they’re always at max.

Also playing a bunch of other stuff.

But here’s the deal…over the next few weeks I’m gonna be trying out a song or two, now and again, that I’m thinking about adding to the rotation of “other stuff”.  Unsure on some of it, so if you hear a song you really LIKE, make sure you “like” it, or write to me and let me know.  If it’s one you really HATE, make sure you “dislike” it, or write to me and let me know.

Writing to me is better because:
1) I read all messages
2) It might have an actual impact (might not…but might)
3) If you say something I find clever I may quote you

So, get busy listening.  And keep in mind…if I haven’t played, and I’m not even testing it now…I’m not gonna play it.  So messages like “you should play X” will be pretty much ignored.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

Some station facts:

I will NOT stop playing anything in my main genres.  So if you click “down” on every Nirvana song, it ain’t gonna do any good.  And screw you, you annoying bastard.

I play as much as I can of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc…and I rotate a few songs in and out.  That means that a LOT of songs you will hear OVER and OVER for a LONGGGGG time.  Why?  Because they’re good, and I’m not gonna play (relatively) sh1t songs just for “variety”.  Want variety?  Try a freeform station.  Not mine.

Feel free to send me comments.  If I like them (or hate them) they might end up here.

There are always certain songs on the fringe.  Meaning, not sure if I want to play them or not.  If you hear an unusual song that you don’t hear often, please LISTEN to it, and vote it up or down.  This may have some effect on whether it comes back or not.

Finally, don’t make requests.  Cuz quite frankly, I don’t give a sh1t.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

For the past few months, my review of ‘The Devil’s Rock’ has been getting a substantial amount of hits.

Now, how I feel about that is, like the F&P, two ways:
1) Thanks, that’s rather flattering actually…and…
2) WTF is wrong with you people?? I’ve written a helluva lot of sh1t more witty than that.

Oh well…time for some boiling Cointreau.

-Puppy >.< Ruff!

I sort of wish someone could read the Bobbing Low entries, but unfortunately they haven’t learned to read yet, and the word “computer” scares them.

They sure can sh1t some rocks though.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

“Like it?  Are you kidding me?  I fcken *LOVE* it!”

Currently working on a potential messterpiece.  May or may not come to fruition.

Or, it could stink.

Too close to call, really.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

Coming Soon:
Star Trek TOS reviews (read the edit if you want)
The last of the perhaps-tolerable-MST reviews
More cr@ppy movie reviews

Ripping.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

New movie on the ‘A List’.  It’s a re-watch.

I don’t usually do this, but perhaps I should.  If you don’t care, it does no harm.  And you might.  And who cares?

See if you can pick it out, and watch it before it’s off Netflix streaming, where it undeservedly was relegated along with a lot of stupid cr@p.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

‘Beating Mike Tyson’

I have no idea who is listening to me in Alabama, but whoever you (singular or multiple) are, two things:

1) Thank you.
2) Please do not stalk me unless you are an extremely attractive female between the ages of 21-45 and you obtain prior permission from me.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

Please do not take my previous post as an indication that I am in any way STOPPING my posts.

Simply pausing and being a smarta$$ about it.

There’s no way I’d ever give up my site…the fact that it exists and is visited annoys too many people that I can’t stand for me to even consider it. 

Thank you.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

You have 780478 Total Visits – That’s 260K a year.  Not bad.  Not good…

Lately it’s slowed to a trickle.  But I remember the good old days when it was moderately popular.

I thought to myself: Why aren’t people coming nearly as often?  Several ideas crossed my mind.

Then I finally realized: Who gives a sh1t?  Lately it’s been more work than fun, so I’ll adopt the Spinal Tap viewpoint and look upon this as a good thing.  Sad?  Absolutely!  But maybe I’ll be discovered by Japan.  Or get re-inspired over something.  Until then, have a look at my glory day posts, some of which were actually pretty darn good!  ‘Equilibrium’ is actually the first review I’m REALLY proud of.  And rest easy in the knowledge that I’m building up a HUGE amount of material to post at a later date.  Or, I’m completely out of ideas and I’ll never post anything else interesting.  Too close to call, really.

And no, the site isn’t going anywhere.  It’s just on hiatus.  And no, I’m not selling it, if only to continue to frustrate those who enjoy seeing me fail.

Oh, and finally, at the risk of being a consumer whore (and how!), if anyone out there actually LIKES something I’ve written and wants to work on something critical-ish or MST-ish, let me know.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

All MST reviews have been moved here, to make it slightly less confusing/because I felt like it/so people that come here for movie reviews don’t have to wade through MST, and people that come here for MST don’t have to wade through movie reviews.

Play Ball!

Concentrating mostly on MST3K episodes until I’ve reviewed all except those I refuse to watch  (that would be, after some consideration, any further episode with J. Elvis/Josh Weinstein speaking in it).

Then back to mostly Netflix streaming sh1t with a tendency toward cr@p horror/camp, with the occasional good and even more occasional great movie thrown in.

That is all.

Social page (link on top left, between Home and Photos) edited to include: news, sports, news, random quote, and everything it already had (which wasn’t much).  So it’s still not very good.  BUT, and this is the point, it is BETTER than it was.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

4/22/16: Update: Please go to my website and click on the blog link to come here even though there’s really no reason to go to my website as opposed to just coming here to my blog.

‘Mystery Science Theater 3000: Star Force: Fugitive Alien II (1991)’

*insert witty comment here*

-Puppy >.< Yip!

“You are the best – animal loving wise and music wise
Thank you”

That’s very nice to say, thank you.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

Off Netflix streaming 2/1:

The Usual Suspects
Apocalypse Now

Watch em while you can.

-Puppy

It’s very difficult for a documentary to stink.

You do your research, you get your footage, you have someone recite the lines, you film it, you stop.

So after seeing legions of terrible movies, the simple competence almost inherent to the documentary form was a welcome relief.

But simple competence isn’t enough…there have to be flashes of insight, moments of inspiration, true revelations that are moving in at least some way.

If not, you might as well just research the subject online.

Therefore, I’m going through my documentary grades and editing them with this in mind.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

More (old: very or somewhat) television series reviews and more (better: very or somewhat) movie reviews coming soon.

-Puppy >.< Yip!

“You have 218573 Total Visits“

Well, Young and Cobain both said it’s better to burn out than fade away…

So…

Hmmm…here goes…

“I, Puppy, hereby decide to give up all my ideals and principles and all the work I’ve put into this for almost 2 1/2 years.  In short, ladies and gentlemen, I surrender.

Yours Humbly,

Puppy.”

*Moderate Pause*

“Oh…

P.S. – I changed my mind, kiss my a$$!” (He really was a funny guy).

‘Mystery Science Theater 3000: Manos: The Hands Of Fate (1993)’

Kinda sad, really :(

‘Land Of The Dead (2005)’

Most of the reviews I do are for movies/shows from Netflix streaming.

So, if you have that also, and are flipping through the available choices and keep thinking “What the *Bleep* is that??”, perhaps I can answer that question here.
