The Sunday Morning Sidewalk

Twenty-five nations are now taking part in the search for Flight 370–the wide area is fast becoming too wide to find any sign of wreckage.. The story is still just as gripping. A week ago when we found out that the pilot of the plane had a flight simulator in his house, we were told it shows he is dedicated to his craft. Now that Malaysia said terrorism happened, the flight simulator has made him a suspect.. I still cannot grasp the concept of how you lose a plane, but more importantly, how families of 239 supposedly lost souls, including beautiful children, are dealing with this immense horror.
It’s certainly interesting.. there is a running poll ending today on the right hand sidebar asking what you think happened to flight 370.. so far the leader is an ‘alternate universe’ choice.. About now, that’s the only thing that seems to make any sense in this strange and spooky story..

There’s more than just that happening along today’s Sunday morning sidewalk.. here’s what you may not want to know, but probably should, as the weekend’s second half begins in earnest.

Crimea is going to the polls to decide if it should be a part of Russia. Turmoil continues to sweep to Ukraine... China is warning that a US sponsored UN resolution could aggravate the situation..

Apple rolled out a new software update to protect against hackers invading your phone. But now iPhone users are angry with the update, saying it drains their batteries, erases their contacts, and flips their keyboards.. Chances are, hackers won’t be able to break into a dead phone..

Rhode Island sized asteroid will pass by earth this week..

The DARK HORSE in the room


I feel a bit ashamed of something.. In covering horror happenings in entertainment, I missed out on one big thing: Victor Salva directed the new DARK HORSE horror flick..

That movie was released in only a few theaters this weekend ..

Victor Salva’s name should be in your horror brain for two reasons: 1st, he was the director of the JEEPERS CREEPERS films, and secondly, the other reason Salva should be known is for his molestation of a 12-year-old during filming of CLOWNHOUSE.  

The VICE article on Salva, linked here, should be read and studied by all.  The parallel with Salva is that his sordid history was what it was, but he still creates amazing horror films with great atmosphere..

I recall back in the early days of the HORROR REPORT. I loved the original JEEPERS CREEPERS, and I felt that it reinvented horror movies after a of 1990s ‘know what you did last summer’ type trash..
But the whole 1989 CLOWNHOUSE scandal came back to haunt him as much as his films haunted theater goers..
And now, 2014, his crimes yet again get mentioned every time one of his films do..

Should the molestation jail sentence be a reason to trash JEEPERS CREEPERS and DARK HORSE? That you’re choice.. but at least you’ll know where Salva got his peepers..

Cruel and unusual?

A new pill is going to create a brand new reality–and lots of questions..

Scientists created a pill that will make days seem like 1,000 years.. It’s being touted as a new form of punishment to prisoners..Making only hours seem like hell on earth ..

It is certainly an ethical and moral question–is it right and just to make a prisoner face more punishment and torture of 1,000 years? 

In one sense, it could actually be worse than the death penalty for some prisoners. Imagine 1,000 years worth of punishment?

We would create a purgatory or even a hell on earth. But on the other hand, what constitutes as cruel and unusual punishment? Old debates are going to have to be shoved to the side.

We have a new future on our hands.
And the future is now..

The children of flight 370

These are the first images released of the children aboard Flight 370.. Their beautiful faces speak for themselves. I wish for a world without tragedy and fear for children. Obviously judging from daily news, this planet  hasn’t attained any goal of goodness or love. If a horrible accident occurred on board this plane, it’s assumed that all 239 passengers succumbed to their ill-fated demise quickly. I fear that did not happen.. I especially cringe thinking about the plane experiencing a hijacking gone wrong, or something even worse for the innocent people aboard the flight. Yes, indeed.. those who tune out of heavy headlines may be the happiest.  I’m not like that. I soak up the news as much as a Sheryl Crow soaks up the sun. And for that, I am typically upset about what some nation or person has done to an innocent child in a dark part of the planet Earth.

DAVID BRENNER DEAD AT 78

David Brenner just lost a battle with cancer.. he is dead tonight at the age of 78. He died on a Saturday.. I think of all the Saturday nights he entertained throughout the years of his career, to half empty rooms of half drunk people to the audiences of the TONIGHT SHOW with Johnny Carson.. His humor became an inspiration for others such as Jerry Seinfeld and Paul Reiser.. He was a star of the 20th century and a trend setter for years to come.. And he never abandoned his craft. As FOX news points out in their story tonight on his passing,  Brenner worked steadily through 2013 doing standup. A four-day gig last December included a New Year’s Eve show at a King of Prussia, Pa., casino-resort in which he showcased young comedians.
