It’s getting ready to be that time of year again - Halloween. I’m sure that every movie blog is going to recommend their favorite scary movies to watch on Halloween, so I decided to jump on the bandwagon. Here are my recommendations:

The Exorcist
In my opinion, this is probably the scariest movie of all time – it’s so evil! I remember being traumatized as a young kid after watching this movie for the first time. I couldn’t sleep for weeks. I just knew that I was going to be possessed because I had played with an Ouija board, just like Regan did in the movie. It also didn’t help that my mom explained that the movie was based on a true story. The possession took place right here in Maryland, in Mt. Rainier, to a little boy named Robbie. She claimed to have visited the house on Bunker Hill Road where the child lived. She told me that the house still had an eerie feeling. It’s been over 20 years since the first time I’ve watched this movie and it still scares the shyte out of my every time I see it. I’m not sure that I’ve ever watched it all of the way through without closing my eyes or turning my head for at least a second or two.

There’s things we all love about YouTube — old tv shows, music videos, people getting kicked in the balls. However, I’ve noticed it’s become increasingly hard to find anything you’re looking for, since it’s been infested with a never-ending stream of crap that absolutely no one is looking for. Let’s take a minute to talk about some of that crap…

When I click on something that says “The Comic Genius of Will Ferrell,” I’m not expecting to see a slideshow of pictures of the comedian with a HIM song as accompaniment. That in no way shows me the comic genius of Will Ferrell. It shows me that you have a weird obsession with white guys with fro hair, and possibly the dude from HIM. If you’re gonna do this, at least label it correctly. Which leads me to my next annoyance… Read the rest of this entry »

Most of us have, at some point, been attracted to someone who may have lacked classic good looks, but just had “that certain something.” Maybe it’s their personality, maybe it’s their demeanor, maybe it’s only on the days they wear that one red dress. The same sliding scale of hotness applies to certain celebrities – those that you wouldn’t necessarily look at twice if they worked at the mall, but in that one movie, you’d hop into bed with ‘em in a second. Here at Blendetta, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite “Not Hot Hotties” — keep reading to see who made the list… Read the rest of this entry »

If you are a “Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out”, “Punch-Out feat. Mr. Dream” or even “Super Punch-Out” fan like I am, this is exciting news! “Punch-Out!!”, one of the coolest games ever, is finally coming to Wii:

It was just announced on October 2nd, and the release date is still TBD. I don’t know about you, but I am SO looking forward to playing this game.

Seeing that yesterday Ben Folds released a new album, Way to Normal, made me reminisce a bit about when I first discovered Folds, back when he, Darren Jesse and Robert Sledge made up the alliterative but innacurately-named Ben Folds Five. Back when I was in 10th grade, I recall seeing the video for BFF’s “Battle of Who Could Care Less” on MTV’s late great 120 Minutes show. A little bit Joe Jackson, a little bit Pavement — hell, a little bit Billy Joel -– Ben Folds Five’s piano-driven indie pop was a unique gem back in those days, before bands like Cold War Kids had CDs available in Target.

“Battle of Who Could Care Less” was the first single off Whatever and Ever Amen, an album that would become hugely popular a few months later when “Brick” became a soft rock radio hit. But it was this first single that drew me in and sent me down to the indie record store. Listening to it now, lines like “See, I’ve got your old ID and you’re all dressed up like The Cure,” seem all the more genius.
