Fool's Views - 11/1 - 11/28 (with Turkey!)

Guess who's back? Back again. AC's back. Tell a friend...

Sorry guys and ghouls, it's been a crazy time. Trying to free oneself from the shackles of gainful employ proved a challenge only the most dedicated and deluded would attempt, but darned if I wasn't able to finally manage it. But I'll honestly admit I had gone into utter bunker mentality for the final stretch, hence my radio silence on the H101 campus grounds.

Before we welcome 2011 with open arms (and do we ever), I feel an obligation to give the Views of the last two months their day in the sun. Said day will be given over the next four installments, after which AC's 2010 Year End Recap will be unveiled, and then we'll dive back into business as usual. Can I get an amen...or at least a order of nachos?

As always, feel free to throw in your two cents worth - we'll make sure you get some change back.

Enjoy!

Clunky, funky attempt at a horror/comedy version of the story of Erzebet Bathory, with Louise Fletcher in the title role. (Fletcher's accent, it should be noted, deserves a dressing room all its own.) The plot, such as it is, centers on the Countess enlisting the help of a daffy scientist to refine artificial blood in order that she can stop munching on the local "wergins," who have grown understandably annoyed by such goings-on. Highly energetic, perhaps too much so, since much of the "comedy" is doled out by the hammy twinnish twosome of Marc-Henri and Alexander Wajnberg, with huge black fright-wig hair and noses to rival Adrien Brody.
