well hello hello hello - it's friday! i just got back from the grocery store - i am settling into some nice red wine (australian shiraz) - and supernanny over on ABC plus i am looking forward to the new madonna documentary i'm gonna tell you a secret which premieres tonight over on MTV...
so last weekend i screened the re-make of scary flick house of wax - the dvd lands in stores on the 25th - overall it was just ok - for one thing it was a bit long - and took a bit of time to get started - but once it did the movie was able to hold my attention - i enjoyed the whole set-up of this town made up of wax & gazing at super hottie star (& recently divorced...) chad michael murray made the trip to waxville all the worthwhile plus seeing paris hilton get whacked in the film was great - if you like scary movies - it's worth at least a home viewing...
i always found wax museums to be a bit creepy - but the creepiest one by far is located in historic deadwood in the black hills of south dakota (where wild bill hickok and calamity jane are buried) - i went when i was a kid - and let me tell you how eerie it was - first off - it was just my folks, my younger brother and i - this homely girl led us down into the basement(!?!) - and it was dark, damp & dank and smelled super musty (oh that mold!) - 'ms. homely' had a tape recorder with her - and as we walked by each scene o' wax - she would play some commentary that was supposed to be the wax people talking and telling the history of deadwood - half of the costumes were fussed with - wigs were misplaced a bit - and the dust was quite prevalent - i just remember my mom giving me looks like she wanted to make a run for it before they made us into half-assed wax figures - trust me it was a weird scene! so if you ever happen to be in deadwood (info is below) - stop by (if you dare) and tell 'em popbytes sent ya - it was no madame tussauds that's for sure...
anyways popbytes out for now - yeah i will be around this weekend and try to dig up something good - i like to be random & keep it fresh to make sure you all come back for more of helpings of popbytes - much love to all as always - xxoo
