Good vs. Bad

[tahnan]

If anyone ever offers you a copy of Matthew Blackheart: Monster Smasher, just say no. I don't believe this movie has a single good thing to recommend it. (Maybe in the second half, but I wouldn't know. I'd doubt it.)

On the other hand, a tablespoon of ginger syrup (one part sliced ginger, two parts sugar, four parts water, bring to boil) in apple juice is a fine, fine thing.

Were there monsters? Did he smash them?

No, there were "bogies", which were, er, god, I don't know, sort of Buffy-demon-esque, only more boring. And he, er, well, he chopped off the hand of one, and maybe he did smash another behind the door, though all you saw was the viscous yellow liquid they have for blood splashing up against the window.

I was too irritated by the fourteen-year-old cab driver sidekick and black-goateed-turned-Ozzy-imitator villain named "Mortis" and the Norwegian actor trying to play FDR and failing to especially notice the monsters.

ginger syrup and apple juice -- for nausea, or just to drink?

Not for nausea; the movie wasn't that bad...

I had, a few months ago, felt nauseous and opened one of my wife's bottles of ginger beer. But it's way, way too sharp for me, so I took a chance and mixed it with apple juice. Which was really, really good, so now that I have ginger syrup...

It's funny to think of possible continuations for the phrase "If anyone ever offers you a copy of Matthew Blackheart: Monster Smasher..."
