BobG left a comment about this movie.

I had actually blogged about this movie in the past (click here for the old posts).

When I figured out that it was only being used as some kind of sermon about homosexuality, I pretty much put it in the "I may now feel free to ignore this" file.

BobG also said that just once he'd like to see someone do a decent version of one of his books.

Well, I can recommend one:  The Call of Cthulhu.  Click that link to read my review of it, or click here to go to the movie's website where you can order the DVD.

I would like to make one thing very clear, so I'm going to shout.  Cover your ears.

THERE IS A GRAPHIC AT THE SITE THAT REVIEWS THE MOVIE "CTHULHU" WITH TORI SPELLING.  THAT GRAPHIC IS NOT FROM THAT MOVIE.  THAT GRAPHIC BELONGS TO THE FOLKS WHO CREATED THE MOVIE "THE CALL OF CTHULHU" WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.  SOMEONE GRABBED THIS GRAPHIC, BUT IT IS NOT FROM THAT MOVIE.

You may visit a gallery of graphics from the good movie The Call of Cthulhu by going here.  At this gallery, you will actually see the graphic that the other people snatched to illustrate their site. 

They didn't even credit the source or bother to say that the graphic doesn't go with the movie they're talking about.  Sheesh.

I just don't want anyone to get these two movies confused.

I recommend to anyone who wants to see a good Lovecraft movie to go to The Call of Cthulhu and order the DVD for yourself.

Also irritating is that they seem to have decided that the original story is anti-homosexual just because this movie version has been perceived as such (typical militant over-reaction of heterophobes).  It seems to me that, since the creator of this movie is gay (read the old posts about it if you want), he re-wrote the original story to provide a metaphor for persecution of gays.

Sexual orientation, or anything else having to do with sex, has no part in this story.  Just like every other story Lovecraft ever wrote.  He just didn't write about that kind of stuff.

This is way more blogging that I planned to do today, but I felt like I needed to set things straight.

Oh, by the way, the movie Cthulhu with Tori Spelling (the gay movie) is not a re-write of The Call of Cthulhu.  It's a re-write of The Shadow Over Innsmouth.  It would have been more accurate to call it Dagon.  However, there was already a movie by that name, based on a book by the same name.  I've never seen the movie, but if it's anything like the book, it sucked.  Big time.  Someone would have to hold a gun to my head to force me to sit through the movie.

Recent search term:  "cyberheadshop review."

I made that word up once to use sarcastically.

Apparently they really exist.

Once again, one of my jokes turns out to be the truth.  This happens with such regularity that I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but I always am.
