LINK OF THE MONTH:
ANGRY BEEF!
Okay, so this has been my Link of the Month before. But I've just recently done a complete re-design of the site, and in just a few days all of the Sightings will be transferred over (if they aren't already by the time you read this), and it will be like a whole new site. I've missed it. I'm glad it's back.
BOOK OF THE MONTH:
Static: A Novel
by Christopher Grant Harris
Notice any similarity between the name of this author and, oh, say, my name? This month I'm doing something a little different. November is "National Novel Writing Month," so I'm going to be writing in my novel all month long, and I thought it would be cool if y'all could read along with my progress. I have the prologue and the first chapter posted already. Go take a read, and check back frequently as I write more and more! This is really freakin' exciting.
DVD OF THE MONTH:
The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra
Goddam, this is an hilarious movie. A completely straight-faced parody of crappy, low-budget drive-through SciFi movies of the 50s and 60s, including horrible dialogue, inappropriate laughter, obvious budget shortcuts, and an extended second act in which the plot doesn't get advanced at all. A skeleton, aliens, a mutant, two scientists, an animal woman, and the element "Atmospherium." If you have seen a few of the movies upon which this one is based, you'll love it. If not, give it a pass; it'll be just as painful as watching the real thing.
