MANIVORE Episode 1

you are what you eat

Ever since I’ve been back from Fantastic Fest, I’ve been itching to try and tell a horror story. I can’t say I’ve written anything scary before, let alone have proper film education, but I have enjoyed some great horror flicks in my time on earth. I also can’t claim myself as a movie buff compared to my yomyomf family either but throughout my life, watching scary movies are moments that I always remember.

8 – First movie experience EVER in a real theater. I saw Dark Man with Liam Neeson. Didn’t know going in what was showing, but I liked everything I saw. Probably not the super scariest movie but messed me up for life. Revenge is always fun.

FANTASTIC FEST 09

I just got back from Fantastic Film Festival in Austin, Texas. First time in Austin, first time at Fantastic Fest. It’s one of the geekiest, nerdiest, and intense film festival experience ever imagined and I loved it. If you love horror, then you must come to this festival one day. They held it at the famous Alamo Drafthouse theater aka “BADASS CINEMA” where all the seats had tables in front of you to order food and drinks (even beer) throughout the screenings. Of course, every seat (besides the front row) still had a great view of the screen. My one big lesson in horror that I learned was that I averaged seeing one penis getting cut off a day. I guess its the norm. WOW! The fest wasn’t totally filled with horror but also many other genres so I’d thought I would share with you of what I thought were some great films that I saw. Of course, don’t consider me a true critic who uses confusing big words to sound like a genius but merely a fan of cinema. Here we go.

Counterstrike

Some of us in this camp can play video games, some of us kinda suck. I’m one of those that are ps3 and rockband challenged. I’m more into real life situations like this one. I was fortunate to get “ON A BOAT!” this summer and was intrigued by Erik of Sumora. This is one of those videos that you really got to spend the time to watch. It has one of those awesome endings!

FROM OUR PORCH

We’re so glad that the LA fires have finally been contained and normality is back. We truly want to thank all the brave firefighters and volunteer workers in another chaotic year of LA fires. This year’s fire affected us more than other fires only because we can ACTUALLY see it from our porch.

TGIF peoples! New shit from Arowana Films studios. Fresh off the boat/plane/cutting room floor. Starring Danny Cho, Chris Nguyen, and Sunn Wee. This is for all you K-Town Hotties out there.

Empire of the Sun

These guys are definitely kinda weird. But for some reason I just can’t get off this song. And although some may view this as a bit culturally wrong, I think its more exciting to see artists be artists. A lot of singers are just way too cool for school. These Australians are just doing their thing.

Everyday new films are born…good ones, bad ones, pretty ones, ugly ones, short ones, long ones, stupid ones, genius ones, and amazing ones, just to name a few. This one falls in the super amazing category. Can you do this?

LA FIRES

Its been an interesting summer of fires again. We wish this wasn’t a yearly occurrence but it does seem that Los Angeles has their own of natural disasters…sorta. We hope everyone is safe and that we respect the work the fire fighters do.
