Short Film: Suckablood
One of my favourite things about blogging is finding new content. Most of it is as new to me as (I hope) it is to you, which means I get to discover new things all the time.
Sometimes I find brilliant little gems. Like Suckablood.
I don’t remember the last time I saw a film so flawless. I loved EVERYTHING about this: the casting, the makeup, the set, and of course the story. I wouldn’t change a single thing.
I hope you love it as much as I do.
(note: the film has been entered in the Driven Creativity Competition. If you enjoyed it, please vote; I’d love to see more from these folks! I am not in any way affiliated with this movie, other than being an instant fan.)
Rumour Has It: Amityville’s Back
“Producer Tony DeRosa-Grund has picked up the rights to what is being referred to as the “true” prequel story of The Amityville Horror… and he plans to bring a found footage angle to the project.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the producer has acquired the rights to the story of local TV reporters Laura DiDio and Marvin Scott, who investigated the famed horror house in the 1970s. Specifically, the focus will be on a séance that was held in the house on March 6, 1976 for a news report which “purportedly revealed ghostly presences, including that of a young boy, in the house.”

It’s Drive-In Night!
Once a year, my pal Leslie and I head out to the drive-in.
There’s something about it: being out in farmland, the stars above you, watching a movie in your pjs with hundreds of strangers. Last year, just as Cowboys & Aliens told us that the aliens had come to Earth, the cattle on screen ran past and a whiff of cow shit from the nearby farm wafted by. You don’t get that from a theatre in the mall.
I will see anything at the drive-in, because it’s not about the movie, it’s about the experience. Case in point, tonight’s triple feature includes That’s My Boy. I can almost guarantee it’s going to be horribly stupid, but in a way that’s better: half the fun of the drive-in is making fun of the movie. And the people in the next car. And that one asshole who doesn’t know how to turn off his headlights…
Maybe I DON’T Want to Write the Next Blockbuster…
Turn your volume way, way down for this one.
“I look like Alice Coo-hoo-hoo-perrr!”
What I wouldn’t give to have seen her reaction during the actual movie.
It seems to be Stephen King week here at SniderWriter…just this last one, promise. I loved this review of Christine by Leslie at I Know I’m Not Normal Because…
Nice work!
Stephen King’s Advice to Young Writers
Seeing as Spike TV denied myself and my fellow Canadians our 8:00 showing of The Shining, I went looking for supplementary King material. I came across this brief excerpt from a talk he did at Yale:
Short and sweet. Read a lot. Write a lot. Simple.
Hopefully the Canadian version of the Stephen King Marathon gets back on track tomorrow…in the meantime, I’ve posted the (apparently American) schedule here.
