Delays delaying things…

Well, in all the confusion as we prepare to move this weekend, I managed to delete most of the video clips I had prepared for upcoming reviews. Like over two dozen upcoming reviews. Thanks to some scrambling I managed to pull rough spots from most of the films, but some are stored in boxes and won’t be seen for months. The whole thing combined with moving means a bit of a delay before some new reviews get upped, hopefully not too long, but you never know. The Connie Chan films duriandave from SoftFilm sent me might even get up before the end of summer! Plus I promised someone else I would have a Uwe Boll film reviewed just in time for a roundtable in August, so there is something else on the to-do list. And the site’s fifth anniversary comes up just in time for me to be too distracted to plan anything special like I wanted to. But this is my site, so I can celebrate whatever anniversary I darn well please. Join us for our 5 1/2th anniversary event later this year, if I get around to it!

Here are some clues to upcoming reviews: SciFi Channel films, Japanese Gravure Clothing agents, Thai R2D2, Charlies Angels in yet another country, Monsters Inc vs Street Fighter, lizard spheres, the worst of category III, Girls kicking more butt, and Superman movies from around the world. Fun times for all!

New Review – Cicak Man

The first Malaysian super hero film is the first Malaysian film I have seen and the first on TarsTarkas.NET, Cicak Man. But it won’t be the last! Join us as we try to make sense of another culture’s comedy, watch redheaded Rastafarians take on a gecko man as a Malaysian Jim Carrey spazzes out. Thrill as the comedy has a surprise tragic twist! Wonder how close the costume is to Daredevil’s! All this plus a movie clip. Read it today!

Links and stuff

I copied the links from the Links Menu on the Main Site over to the blog as well, due to the number of people who only read the blog. If you want to swap links let me know and I can add you. I only had to update the addresses of three of the 50 in the list, so that isn’t too bad (though I still haven’t fixed them back on the main site, but that’s laziness attacking again!)

Sea Beast

New Review – Sea Beast

The new review is up, Sea Beast (aka Troglodyte), a SciFi Channel flick where Parker Lewis fights an anglerfish meets Predator. We got a video, we got creature babies, we got iPods, we got death by tongue, we got exploding boats, we got Star Trek:TNG alumni, we got You Can’t Do That On Television slime, it all comes together and is actually entertaining! Read it today!

The Story of Kittens

So the big news around the household this week was me finding three kittens Wednesday night at 10:00pm. I went on a late night run to get some water from the WaterMill (basically, a machine that dispenses filtered water, because the tap water at home is beyond terrible even with a Pur filter on it) and as I drove up, there were three kittens sitting in a crevice by the machine. There are a lot of stray animals in town, but usually the cats are older and run away the second anyone even looks at them. The kittens stayed put, not old enough to even know what to do. I am not about to just leave kittens alone in a dark parking lot near a busy street, so I grabbed them. Two of them were easy to catch, but one decided he didn’t want to be caught and started to run off. It was very dark, so I lost sight of him and he disappeared through a hole in the fence. I went to the other side (where a carwash is) and there was no sign of him, but I heard meowing back by the WaterMill and the kitten was over there crying for his siblings. So the last one got picked up and home they went.

The first thing we did was give them some food (water, milk, and tuna) It has been years since I owned a kitten so I didn’t know if they would eat solid foods (later learned they were about 8 weeks, so they ate fine) and they wolfed down the food like they hadn’t eaten in days. They may not have. Then we gave them a quick bath because they smelled. The bath helped some, but not all the way.

As we are moving in two weeks and don’t live anywhere that we can have cats, much less three of them, there is no way we can keep the kittens no matter how cute they are. So I looked up local shelters for the next day, which is when we had to give them up. So it is sad that we had cute kittens for one day, but happy that they will probably get adopted quickly and find good homes that are better able to take care of them at the moment. The adoption agency gave us their ID papers, so we can call a hotline with the number and see if they have been adopted, and if they haven’t after a certain period we’ll just go and claim them so they don’t get put down, but I don’t think they will stick around long.

So here are pictures of the three kittens:
