He’s A MANIC! MANIAC!! 😀
hehehehe
Actually, I’m Just Super Stoked About Seeing Elijah Wood Tackle This Little Project. If It Plays Out Like The Trailers And Such Show, MANIAC Should Be Movie GOLD!!!
I’m VERY Ready For It!!!
Are YOU?!?!?!
SURE YOU ARE!!!
😉
-B.

BIZZAM!!

Here we have the first 6 minutes of the new film Maniac, starring Elijah Wood.  This film was written and produced by Alexandre Aja, the director of the wonderful High Tension and The Hills Have Eyes remake.  He also directed Mirrors, which I found to be a terrifying film.

Maniac is a remake of the 1980 William Lustig original, which I cannot claim to have seen.

Have a look at the wonderful first 6 minutes.  This small sample of the film has me salivating for more.  What do you think?

Also, it seems I may have forgot to post the original trailer for this film.  I have included it below.  I am so looking forward to this film . . .Be warned, this is highly NSFW or for the squeamish . . .

Howdy Y’all…

…I’m Back From My Personal Mini-Vacation.

I Hadn’t Really Been Feeling It, In Regard To The Ole Blog.

So, I Decided To Take A Couple Days To Think It All Over.

And Now, Today, I’m Baaack!

I’ve Spent The Past Couple Days With My Nephew.

He’s In Town For A Visit, So I’ve Been Happily Enjoying Being Back In “Uncle Brad” Mode.

We’ve Already Had Plenty Of Fun.

We’ve Watched Some Quality Flicks.

We’ve Played Plenty Of Lego.

We’ve Played The Nintendo 3DS.

We’ve Played Outside In The Snow.

Tomorrow Is His Birthday.

I Can’t Believe He’ll Be Entering Into The Double-Digit Ages.

It Doesn’t Seem Possible That He’s Already Been Around For 10 Years!

Good God, It Makes Me Feel Ancient.

That’s A BIG Fo SHO.

ANYWAY…

…I’m Back Now To Piddle About With Y’all.

I’ve Got A Couple Projects I’ve Been Tinkering With So, Please, Stay Tuned.

Same Brad Time.

Same Brad Channel.

😉

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE, My Peeps!!!

Hope It’s A Good One!!!

Second, How Could I Not Use This Photo! Clint In 1981 Is Novel Enough, But The Aviator Sunglasses Are Simply More Priceless Than I Could Hope To Express! 😀 ))))

<<<<<<<<<<This Quote Selection Is Posted Lovingly For My Nephew, Whom Will Be Coming Here TODAY To Stay For A While!>>>>>>>>>>

😀          😀         😀

It‘s Been Tooo Looong, And Can‘t Wait To Kick–It With Him!

Can Already Picture Him Waking Up At 6A.M., Finding Me Already Up, And He‘ll Say…

“It‘s Time To Play X–Box, Brad.”

And What Will Brad Say?

“You Betcha, Buster.”

Fo SHO.

😀

If Not That, He‘ll Say…

“Sure Sure, Just Let Me Fill–Up My Coffee–Cup And I‘ll Be Right There.”

Uncle Brad Is Pretty Cool Like That.

Fo SHO Fo SHO.

My Tired Eyes: Or, How Bradley Learned To Continue Worrying And Became Rutger Hauer

Oh, These Winter Blues.

Oh, How They Really Do Love Me.

Well…

…It, Honestly, Feels More Like They Really Hate Me.

Like, Really REALLY Hate Me…

…A Lot.

As I Told A Friend The Other Night…

…I Looked At My Eyes And I Said…

“I Look Tired.”

Not “Sleepy”…

…But “Tired.”

There IS A Difference.

A Difference I’m Sure Y’all Would Be Able To Distinguish Between.

I Also Told Him That My Eyes Have Seen Enough To Be Worth Four (4) More Pairs Of Them.

I’ve Seen Things With These Eyes That Would Stagger Some People.

I’ve Seen Things I’ll Never Be Able To Forget, No Matter How Hard I Try.

Exceptional Things.

Terrible Things.

Happy Things.

Horrid Things.

Some Of Which I Can Discuss, These Days.

Most Of Which I Could Never Discuss, Regardless Of The Day.

…

… … …

[[[—Right Now, Honestly, I Feel Like RUTGER HAUER At The End Of “BLADE RUNNER” When He’s On The Building’s Rooftop With HARRISON FORD.

“I’ve Seen Things You People Wouldn’t Believe…“

Ya Know It?!

The One RUTGER Eventually Closes Out By Saying:

“…All Those Moments Will Be Lost In Time, Like Tears In Rain. Time To Die.”

EXCEPT, I’m Not Dying.

AND, I Don’t I Have A Bird To Play With And Fondle.

AND, I’m Not A Replicant.

BUT, Otherwise, I’m Totally RUTGER HAUER.—]]]

… … …

…

But, They Are Tired, My Peeps.

They’re So SO Tired.

And, The More They See, The More They Experience, The More Tired They Make The Rest Of Me.

The Eyes Are Very Powerful.

Windows Into The Soul, And What-Not.

Winter Days, Like The Past Few, Really Do Bring Out My Mopey, Down-Trodden Self.

While My Very First Memory Is Of A Smell…

…Most Of My Memories Are Of That Which I’ve Witnessed.

Of Which I’ve Seen, Up-Close, In Person, Nothing Edited.

Wonders.

Horrors.

Yes, I’ve Seen AND Remember So Much In-Between…

…But, Like Most People, The Wonders AND The Horrors Stand-Out The Most.

I Remember So Much That Does Make Me Happy.

But, It All Blurs Much Easier AND Faster Than I Could’ve/Would’ve/Should’ve Expected.

It Blurs Much Easier AND Faster Than The Horrors.

The Horrors Don‘t Blur.

If Anything, They Shine More So.

They‘re More Vivid These Days Than They‘ve Ever Been.

I Close My Eyes, I See Them.

I Open My Eyes, I See Them.

Damn You, Eyes, Why Did You Ever Look?

Why Did You Ever See?

Why Did You Burn These Images Into My Mind?

They’re There Forever, Now.

To Be Recalled Over And Over Again.

Recalled For The Rest Of My Life, However Long Or Short It May Be.

Damn These Tired, Tired Eyes.

Have They Betrayed Me?

Have They Failed Me?

No.

If Anything, They’ve Worked Tooooo Well.

They’ve Picked-Up Details Most People Would Never Even Consider.

But, Damn Them Anyway.

Damn Them.

When I Sat Down To Write This, I Sincerely Didn’t Know To What End I Was Writing Toward, Nor For.

Maybe I Still Don’t.

It’s Not Finished.

At Least, It Doesn’t Feel Finished.

Not. At. All.

Not. At. All. At. All.

So…

…What‘s The Cure For Tired Eyes?

And No, I Don’t Mean Plastic Surgery On Them To Make Them Appear More Life-Like.

In Fact, I Know Of No Surgery That Could Ever Reverse The Damage.

Well…

…One Could Always Get Lobotomized.
