Dear Constant Reader,

The Slusho! History and Downloads pages have some small changes.

On the Downloads page, in addition to the Hot Air Balloon Duck that shows up on the right site, there is now a Parachuting Duck that appears on the left side.

On the History page, the Jelly Fish is now thinking about a hammer (!?!), and the Crab changes its expression when you click on it.

Rotten Tomatoes Article On "Halloween" At ComicCon + The New "Halloween" TV Spot

Dear Constant Reader,

Rob Zombie?
You do suck actually.
Michael Myers using lumber to bust through a floor?
Why didn't you just have Laurie, and Michael have a pillow fight?

Dimension debuts scenes for two horror flicks.
by Henry Ham | July 30, 2007

Dimension Films debuted scenes from Rob Zombie's remake of Halloween and the Stephen King adaptation, The Mist. The panel started off with a bang as Rob Zombie made a stirring entrance to his classic, "Dragula."

Audience members stood up to pay homage to the legendary rocker/director as he introduced Halloween cast members Tyler Mane, Scout Taylor-Compton, and Sheri Moon. Before starting their panel, they showed an exclusive clip from Halloween to the crowd. Unsurprisingly, the scene is set in a dark room lit only by the moon through the windows. Michael Myers (Mane) is dragging a dead body across the floor as the camera cuts to a hidden corner of the room where Laurie (Taylor-Compton) is seen crying and covering her mouth in fear of making any noise. As Michael is seen leaving the room, Laurie rushes to the dead body to retrieve a gun when all of a sudden (cue scary music) Michael is behind them. With gun in hand, Laurie runs to the attic and tries to hide from Michael yet again. Instead of chasing her, Michael proceeds to grab 2x4s of wood and repeatedly smash them through the ceiling. After four tries, the ceiling collapses and Laurie falls through as we cut to black and the Halloween title yet again.

During the Q&A session, Zombie said that although he wanted to retain classic elements from the 1978 original, keeping it too similar would be pointless. An aspiring filmmaker asked for advice, to which Zombie replied, "If you don't mind people telling you you suck all the time, then this is the business for you." A reference to the 15 percent Tomatometer for House of 1000 Corpses, and the 53 percent for The Devil's Rejects?

"Cloverfield" In Daily News Article About New York

Monday, July 30, 2007

Dear Constant Reader,

I'm totally positive that it's going to be terrorists in "Cloverfield" so the creators can deal with their sleepless nights over 9/11.

Big Apple terror target in upcoming sci-fi thrillers
BY ETHAN SACKS
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER
Sunday, July 29th 2007, 4:00 AM

New York City is no longer safe from being blown up - on the big screen.

Two new trailers for upcoming sci-fi movies - an untitled Paramount film from producer J.J. Abrams and Warner Bros.' "I am Legend" - have hit theaters featuring images of exploding New York landmarks.

For years before 9/11, filmmakers frequently used New York as the setting for movies like "Independence Day" (1996), "Armageddon" (1997) and "Godzilla" (1998). In the wake of the terrorist attacks, however, Hollywood sent their alien invasions elsewhere.

Until now.

"I think it actually shows we're strong enough now to accept movies that do trash a city as iconic as New York post-9/11," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of Media By Numbers, a box office tracking firm.

"Nobody will ever forget 9/11, but I think the country and audiences are at a place where they can watch portrayals like that without evoking tensions - other than the ones intended by the filmmakers, of course."

Tension is exactly what Abrams, the co-creator of "Lost," intended for the cryptic trailer that debuted before "The Transformers." It starts with hand-held-camera footage of partying twentysomething New Yorkers, whose shindig abruptly ends with an explosion that sends the demolished head of the Statue of Liberty crashing into their street.

The movie's title is being kept under wraps, though it is generating chatter on the Web under the fake name of "Cloverfield." The official site (1-18-08.com) divulges just the release date. A Paramount representative declined to comment on what disfigured Lady Liberty.

In "I am Legend," opening in theaters Dec. 14 and based on a 1954 vampire novel, Will Smith plays the last man on Earth. To stanch the calamity that is threatening the human race, military jets destroy the Brooklyn Bridge, as the trailer graphically shows.

The bridge was last destroyed on screen nine years ago in "Godzilla" - a movie that captured Al Qaeda leader Abu Zubaidah reportedly told investigators inspired the terrorist group to add the span as a potential target.

In the immediate aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, Hollywood was so sensitive to moviegoers' anxieties that movies like 2002's "Spider-Man" were edited to cut footage where the World Trade Center was visible.

But judging by the mysterious roar in the "Cloverfield" trailer, studios may be ready to sic another giant monster on New York.

"I guess the huge scale of the city and its iconic nature may contribute," says Matt Aitken, the visual effects supervisor on the 2005 remake of the 1933 classic, "King Kong."

Former Mayor Ed Koch, who reviews movies for the Villager newspaper, said adult New Yorkers are smart enough to know these are just movies.

"I don't have a problem with [Hollywood] setting explosions and injuries in New York," said Koch. "As long as it's fictional and as long as it's well done."

Blogathon Post #19 - Barbara Mikkelson Apparently Has Something Against Charity

Dear Constant Reader,

Barbara Mikkelson (from snopes.com) is apparently angry that my tiny site is taking snippets from her giant site in my Blogathon posts to raise funds for "Doctors Without Borders".
My site has sent plenty of traffic her way, and what little scraplets I've taken have brought me very little traffic.
I have taken no more than 4 lines from each of the pages that I'm using to research these legends, but apparently that's far too much.
What's funny is that these posts will be buried by many other posts, and forgotten so quickly that they are almost irrelevant.
Barbara?
I'm blogging for a charity, and not for my own personal gain.
Are you imagining that I'm getting wealthy somehow from using the sparsest of quotes from your site?
Are you really that stupid?
You want to do some good Barbara?
Help a charity instead of sitting behind your computer, and moaning about some little blog using your table scraps.

To those following the legends :
I'll continue with the legends on my NEXT post :)
