Lame is of the Essence

Posted on July 29, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

Exchange in an otherwise unmemorable movie:
Guy: You don’t like my kind of a guy much, do you?
Girl: Not much. But in your case I’ll make an exception. You I don’t like a lot.

I just posted that as my Facebook status and thought it might be good as part of my Lame Post Friday blog post. I’m afraid this post’s greatest virtue is going to be that I am making it on time instead of on Saturday morning as I have been sadly wont to do.  But perhaps I can come up with something at least mildly entertaining.

The movie I am not really watching (but by chance heard the above exchange) is The Unknown World (1951) from our DVD collection The Best of the Worst.  I once wrote a blog post about it.  It was in the days before I knew how to put pictures in the blog.  I looked for a picture just now but did not find one.

Another Best of the Worst.

Still wanting to add a picture,  I share this one, the poster from another movie in the collection.  I am a great fan of cheesy horror movies, especially the older ones.  Some of course are more entertaining than others.  Just like my blog posts.

However, this one is over 200 words, so I say good enough.  Happy Friday, everyone.

Dracula, Joan, It’s Lame Post Friday!

Posted on June 10, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

I was thinking about making my Lame Post Friday post late once again, but I decided not to be so lame as all that. Earlier  I thought I would have a lazy, relaxed Friday night, so I am lounged on the couch in pajama pants, sipping Sauvignon Blanc and looking at movies.  I just watched Taste the Blood of Dracula then put in Sudden Fear.  Christopher Lee to Joan Crawford.  Why not?

Dracula likes Friday.

I have been watching too many DVDs since I got rid of cable.  Of course I have a somewhat extensive collection, mostly curated by my late, beloved husband Steve.  My problem is, I have to be in the mood for a particular movie, and I seem to have watched all the movies I am currently in the mood for.  I wish I could change moods as easily as I change DVDs.

There’s the right picture for the movie I watched.

Maybe I should stop being in the mood to watch a movie and try to get in the mood to clean this house.  I know, I need to clean my house regardless of mood.  I’ll work on that tomorrow.

Two of the people in this picture are up to no good.

I like this movie, Sudden Fear, but it starts so slowly.  I figured that was all right, because I intended to make my blog post while I watched.  Unfortunately it took me so long to find the pictures I wanted, the movie has started to heat up.  No matter.  I’ve seen it before.

So this is my Friday night.  I am enjoying it and hope you are enjoying yours.

Carnival of Tired Tuesday?

Posted on May 24, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

Tired Tuesday follows Monstrous Monday once again.  I meant to take a walk and do a Pedestrian Post,  but I just feel too tired.  Oh dear.  I did a few things earlier:  a little yard work, a little house cleaning, ran a couple errands, grocery shopped.  And somewhere in all that I took a nap.  You would think that would have helped, but not so much.

It’s a classic. Or a cult favorite. I get them mixed up.

I am looking at Carnival of Souls, a low budget but very effective horror movie.  I have it on two different DVD collections.  Right now I am watching the one from 50 Horror Classics.  I thought I would watch my way through all 50.  I still have not solved my television problem so am only watching DVDs these days.

I kind of feel like she looks.

I plan to do more than sit around and watch DVDs, of course.  I plan to run more, clean my house, and fix up my yard and garden.  Then I can write blog posts about doing those things.  If I’m not too tired.

Eeeeeerie!

In the meantime, I continue to watch Candace Hillligoss struggle with the strange things that keep happening to her.

Eeeee! Who is that man?

I’m afraid this is a very dull blog post.  I always say a bad blog post is better than no blog post at all, but I have to wonder.  As usual, I intend to hit Publish and hope for the best.  Also as usual, I shall go for a better blog post tomorrow.
