As soon as Lent’s over, I’m going to get a motorcycle and start driving through the desert, in search of bands that have a classic rock edge. This video from Dirty Honey leaves no doubt that it’s the best way to spend your time.
For all the rumors that occasionally surface about his apparent desire to retire, Nicolas Cage is still making movies and we’re all the better for it. Here’s the trailer for his upcoming film, Arcadian!
Coming soon to Shudder, Late Night With The Devil takes place in 1977, on a night in which a television broadcast brings evil into the world. Before anyone asks, The Brady Bunch Variety Hour did air in 1977 but it started in 1976. So, as tempting as it is to speculate, I think the two events were unrelated.
Today’s music video of the day is this edgy production from Lebanon Hanover! This is music to which you can not only dance but you can also listen to it while walking down a deserted alley. It serves every purpose.
I know that things have been unusually quiet here on the Shattered Lens today. I wish I could say that was because I was busy watching movies but the truth of the matter is that I had a doctor’s appointment today that involved bloodwork and other needles and have I mentioned that I am neither a fan of needles in general or the sight of my own blood being extracted from my body? And, of course, the doctor’s office was super crowded, the doctor kept getting called away from me, and I spent what seemed like hours shivering in a cold exam room.
Yeah, it’s been that type of day.
After finally finishing up with my doctor, I went to vote in the Texas primaries and I got stuck in line behind a first-time voter who was freaking out because he had left his list of who to vote for out in his car. It bothered me that all of the poll workers made such a big deal about him being a first-time voter when he wasn’t even smart enough to memorize who he was going to vote for. Add to that, I think he may have actually been voting in the wrong party’s primary because I just got the feeling he and I were probably on opposite sides of the fence politically. I’m not really a fan of early voting but I do think, in the future, I should get the vote early while everyone else has to do it on election day.
Then, I tried to get a quick dinner from Panda Express but I got stuck in the drive-through behind a police car and I had to sit there and listen as the vehicle’s inhabitants used their slow, dry-as-sandpaper “cop voices” to order their food. The only thing that kept me from honking at them for taking so long was the fact that they were cops and I assume they would have arrested me for disturbing the peace.
And then I got home, curled up on the couch, passed out, and, since finally waking back up, I have accomplished nothing. I have so much to watch and I’m running out of time to do it and it’s very frustrating.
ANYWAY, ONE OF THOSE DAYS!
But it doesn’t matter because you know what? The trailer for The Wild Robot is so wonderful that I’m sitting here with my spirit brightened and a smile on my face. Seriously, the trailer has totally brightened my day and I can’t wait until the film comes out in September. Watch the trailer below:
