Cheesy Flicks, Cheesy Post?

Posted on August 26, 2023 by mohawkvalleygirl

I thought it might be a good idea to make my Lame Post Friday post on Friday. I have apparently thought this before, because my predictive text thingy chimed right in with it as I went. It can be so handy sometimes.

Fun flick!

I have been watching my beloved cheesy horror movies and crocheting. Earlier I was looking at the news and playing solitaire (with a deck of cards, as regular readers probably know), but I found that too depressing. Additionally, I am crocheting a baby afghan for my friend Kim’s grandson. I hope to finish it while he is still a baby.

I first put in Mesa of Lost Woman, which I enjoyed very much. Perhaps I will write a whole blog post about it one day (note to self: check if I have already). My movie write-ups do not seem to get a lot of blogger love (I am sadly quite a Like junky), but I do have fun writing them.

I don’t quite get this poster.

I am currently watching The Incredible Petrified World. The poster was the only image I could find, and I must say it does not seem to have much to do with what I am watching. These things happen, I suppose.

And I see I am 9ver 200 words. Score! I hope to continue my movie watching and crochet activities tomorrow. Will it be blogworthy? A little suspense adds interest to my weekend.

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.

Mesa’d Up on Tired Tuesday

Posted on August 17, 2022 by mohawkvalleygirl

The problem with taking Monday off work is that Tuesday begins to feel awfully Mondayish. On the other hand, it sets me up nicely for a Tired Tuesday Post. I guess I am tired most days, but Tuesday is the day that makes it alliterative. Never mind all that, what can I say to make the post interesting?

I could use such a nice dressing gown.

When in doubt, throw in a monster pic. This is Claude Rains as The Invisible Man. He is dressed for bed, which I felt was appropriate because I plan to go to bed soon. Full disclosure: I do not wear such fancy pajamas.

“Forsooth and… stuff.”

I throw in a picture from Love’s Labour’s Lost, which closed Sunday, because it is still very much on my mind. My lines are still jostling against each other in my head. Then I remember that I don’t have to remember them any more. Phew!

I guess I don’t really look like that.

Looking for another monster photo in my Media Library, I came across this movie poster. I feel it is appropriate, because I feel lost and I am definitely a woman, although I do not live on a mesa with other lost women. At least, I suppose other women around me might feel lost at times, but they do not share that information with me.

What a post. I covered being tired, mentioned the play, and shared monster pictures. Kind of a Non-Sequitur Post. I usually save those for Thursday. What a time warp I am in! But I am over 250 words and not posting first thing in the morning. I’m going to call that a win.

Monster Movies, Murder and Mayhem on Monday

Posted on July 6, 2021 by mohawkvalleygirl

I felt very fortunate to have today off, but I must confess I did not make very good use of the day. I got the lawn mowed and made some small progress cleaning up some of the overgrowth on the perimeter. I purchased dirt for my container garden but have not used it yet. Baby steps.

And I watched a couple movies.

This poster showed up on one of my monster pages on Facebook, and I was like, “Oh, yeah, I’ve seen that!” I had it in one of my cheesy DVD collections (The Best of the Worst), so I popped it in. I had an idea I might do a write-up on it for the blog. Not today, though.

The Terror was on the same disc as Mesa of Lost Women, so I watched that next. I have written about The Terror more than once. It is a favorite of mine. Love that Roger Corman! Um, he produced and directed. The above picture, of course, shows Jack Nicholson and Boris Karloff.

I started to watch another movie but turned it off to make my blog post. I have some true crime television playing in the background. I just loves me some murder and mayhem. Ooh, just look at all the Ms (or should it be M’s?)! There’s my alliterative headline!
