I did, however, expect a better turnout for one of the
events I was involved with. Don’t know what caused a low turnout, especially
since other parties of the same nature got a full house. Guess we’ll never
know.
Will I go to another RT? Well, I won’t go next year. It’s in
Reno
When I think back on the events/panels I attended at
previous RTs, I didn’t go to many reader events (only those parties at night,
and mainly because they involved a meal). But I decided to try Cinema
Craptastique in Dallas
I can hear Jeff asking all the way out here, “What is Cinema
Craptastique?” Well, you see, Damon Suede (erotica author) takes this really
bad movie and just picks it apart, while everyone in the room (and all around
wherever, who are watching the flick at the same time as those of us at the
con) are tweeting about how bad this movie is. That’s right. Tweeting. I don’t
do the tweeting part, but I do enjoy making fun of bad movies. In 2015 he
picked “Hercules” (starring Kellen Lutz). This year he picked a real bomb:
“Glitter.”
I had never heard of this movie and there was a good reason
for that. #1, it debuted on 9/11/2001 (I kid you not!), and #2, it starred
Mariah Carrey (that girl can NOT act). Of course, it didn’t help that whoever
wrote the screenplay, couldn’t write, either. It was just bad, bad, BAD!
Tonight is game 6 of round 2 between the Penguins and
Capitals. This better be the last game of round 2 between these two. I do NOT
want a game 7. Let’s go Pens!!
So… What’s going on in your world? Anything interesting?
Happy Monday!

After what they did to Sid, the Pens need to take them down.
I do remember Glitter and heard it was awful. So, Cinema Craptastique is basically RiffTrax and MST3K?
Sorry it wasn't quite a great year for RT.
Alex - Since I don't know what RiffTrax or MST3K is, I can't say. And I wouldn't say it wasn't a GREAT year since I got to do things, but I think all RTs are like that. Yet, I keep going. Haha!
I don't know how you do it with all the trips you take. One trip is enough to last me the year! You're a regular jet-setter/cruise-setter.
Sorry RT didn't measure up to the last one. I guess they can't all be great. At least you got to mingle with friends.
But did you have FUN at RT? It sounds like you did, so that's a win!
And you totally need to look for Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K). They might have it on Netflix, if you have that. It's a guy and two robots watching bad movies and making fun of them. It's HILARIOUS!
Maria - I don't know how I do it, either. Next year looks like I won't be going to ANY cons. Wonder if I'll get withdrawals. :)
Jennette - I did have fun. In as much as I can usually have with those things. Haha!
Thanks for the explanation, sounds like fun. John Oliver just referenced Glitter on Last Week Tonight this weekend.
I do hope you had a good time, and that RT has some positive impact on your sales!
Jeff - I'm sure John Oliver didn't have anything good to say about that movie, either. I noticed it got a 2 on IMDB. What a dud!
