Crazy zombie killers are hot.

I have had a crush on Shane since the first season.  There is just something about a crazy man who can kills zombies that makes me want to drop down. 

More drool worthy Jon Bernthal after the jump. Yes, there are a lot of photos.  Can you ever have too much?

Shane...

We need you to stay.

Let's take em' down!!

I can recall a time when the price to buy a popcorn at the movies was under $3.00.  Granted, this was the 80's and I was still in the PG-13 phase of my life, but those were good times.  Now, it's crazy expensive to buy snacks at the movies.  Joshua Thompson might be my new hero.

Joshua Thompson loves the movies.
But he hates the prices theaters charge for concessions like pop and candy.
This week, the 20-something security technician from Livonia decided to do something about it: He filed a class action in Wayne County Circuit Court against his local AMC theater in hopes of forcing theaters statewide to dial down snack prices.
"He got tired of being taken advantage of," said Thompson's lawyer, Kerry Morgan of Wyandotte. "It's hard to justify prices that are three- and four-times higher than anywhere else."
American Multi Cinema, which operates the AMC theater in Livonia, wouldn't comment on the suit. A staffer at the National Association of Theatre Owners in Washington, D.C., angrily hung up the phone when asked about industry snack pricing practices.
Although consumer experts predicted that the case will be dismissed, it struck a chord Friday with area moviegoers, who said they're tired of being soaked on movie munchies.
"The prices are ridiculous," Rebecca Motley, 55, a self-employed Southfield physician, said while leaving the AMC Star Southfield 20.
Motley said she and her office manager spent $5 each for morning movie tickets and $11 each for soft drinks and popcorn.
"When I was a kid, $1 could get you into the movies and buy you a pop and popcorn. But not anymore," Motley said. "I don't know how kids can go on their own to a movie anymore."
Timothy Fells, 29, part owner of a Redford Township gym, agreed with Motley.
"Movie concession prices are extremely high, and that's why I don't stop at the snack bar very often," he said while leaving the AMC theater in Southfield.
Thompson didn't want to be interviewed because he doesn't want any notoriety, Morgan said. But Thompson said in his lawsuit that he used to take his own pop and candy to the AMC in Livonia until the theater posted a sign banning the practice.
On Dec. 26, he paid $8 for a Coke and a package of Goobers chocolate-covered peanuts at the Livonia theater -- nearly three times the $2.73 he paid for the same items at a nearby fast-food restaurant and drug store, the suit said.
The suit accused AMC theaters of violating the Michigan Consumer Protection Act by charging grossly excessive prices for snacks.
The suit seeks refunds for customers who were overcharged, a civil penalty against the theater chain and any other relief Judge Kathleen Macdonald might grant.
Two consumer lawyers predicted that Macdonald will dismiss the suit.
"It's a loser," said Gary Victor, an Eastern Michigan University business law professor. He said state Supreme Court decisions in 1999 and 2007 exempted most regulated businesses from the Michigan Consumer Protection Act.
Added Ian Lyngklip, a nationally known consumer lawyer in Southfield: "Movie theaters are regulated, so the lawsuit won't go anywhere"
Victor, an avid moviegoer, agreed that snack prices are excessive at theaters. That's why he shuns the concession counter unless he's with a date.
Griping about excessive prices at the theater concession is a time-honored tradition, says Paul Dergarabedian, an analyst for http://www.hollywood.com/ , a movie industry website.
"But like high airline prices, it's just one of those things that we've become accustomed to because we don't have any control over it," he added.
Although movie ticket sales are down -- 1.2 billion tickets were sold last year compared with 1.6 billion in 2002 -- he said a difficult economy mainly is to blame, not snack prices.
To cope with the issue, some consumers eat before or after they go to the movies, or resort to smuggling.
Fells said he sometimes smuggles Gummi Bears into the theater to save money.
Kristy Belanger, 20, a real estate secretary from Redford Township who showed up at the AMC in Livonia on Friday to see a movie with her boyfriend, concealed two bottles of Pepsi in her purse.
"I did it to save money, and I feel like I did," she said, adding that what she saved on Pepsi enabled her to buy a $4.74 serving of nachos to share with her beau.

Good day to get wet

Why am I not at the beach with Kurt Russell Joel Edgerton today?  I would be more than happy to help with those wet shorts...sigh.

The Queen is coming back to American Horror Story

The first season of American Horror Story was fresh and inventive for a hour long tv show.  The genre seems to be limited these days on the boob tube so AHS brought some fresh life back to the small screen.  One of the best things about the first season was Jessica Lange. 

Her character of Constance was the lady you loved to hate.  Great news for me, she is coming back!  The kick, she will be playing a new character. The deets are over at ShockTillYouDrop and the new season sounds promising.  I like the idea of each season revolving around new characters and locations.  Hopefully, we will also see Frances Conroy popping up again in the second season. Color me excited. 

It's unfortunate that we won't get to see Dylan McDermott and his nakedness week after week. Hopefully, they find someone to fill the hot man quota that we will now expect weekly.

More of  Dylan after the jump.

Horror Slut of the Day

Most good horror movies have that one awesome slut.  She who is not afraid to use sex or her body to her advantage.  Some love them and some hate them but they are the special recipe for any good horror stew. I decided to begin writing up some of my favorites.  Today's HSOTD comes from Night of the Demons (1988) and is well deserved.  I will sit down and write a proper review of this film one day as it is one of my favorite movies to enjoy when sipping on the sweet nectar.  Today we celebrate Suzanne (Linnea Quigley) and all her glory!



Linnea really nailed the hot slut role.  I give her props, she was not scared to show some skin for a role.  

Like many horror sluts before her, the character of Suzanne was not afraid to show some skin at a party.  A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.  Contstanly vying for the attention of the boys at the party, she was not afraid of an upskirt shot (Lindsay Lohan would be jealous).  She also knows a crafty use for lipstick. 

Suzanne was not the only persuasive character Linnea has played on film. She has had her time with the B movies and when reading her bio on IMDB, I was intrigued.  She was in movies I love and had no idea (Nightmare On Elm Street 4).  Truth be told, she might be a horror slut again for some of her other movies. A golden treasure quote from Linnea via IMDB.

My favorites, selected from my own movies, are Savage Streets (1984), The Return of the Living Dead (1985) and Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988). One of the differences between my association with horror films and scream queens of past generations is that I don't faint as much.

And one of my favorite quotes from Miss Suzanne in NOTD.  This exchange really sells the whole movie at the beginning.

Suzanne: Do you guys have sour balls?
Convenience Store Clerk: Why sure we do.
Suzanne: Too bad. I bet you don't get many blow jobs.

Suzanne, a true class act.

Where is the Man Of Steel trailer?

I have been patiently waiting for a leaked trailer but nothing.  Now, I don't know the status of filming but with a release date of next year, I figured we would have gotten a teaser or something.  Maybe they are waiting for the release of the other comic book properties before they get crazy with the promo stuff.  These thoughts also reminded me to look up photos of HC and boy was I pleased. He sure is easy on the eyes! More yummy HC after the jump.  With all the shirtless photos that leaked from the set, this might be better than expected (at least in the beefcake category).
