Someone obviously misunderstood the concept of cat 5 wiring (http://www.wral.com/family/5187316/detail.html)

Those fools! The cat must have been walled up for a reason. They've doubtlessly unleashed the re-incarnated soul of the serial murderer who brutally murdered dozens on that VERY REAL ESTATE fifty years ago.
I think we've just witnessed the beginning of a horror movie. (cf. The Tenant (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074811/))

Heard that before (http://www.poedecoder.com/essays/blackcat/#summary)

Damn! Poe'Jestrd!

Wow, I like how this movie is both "based on true events" and "inspired by a short story by Edgar Allen Poe." I think it could work. Somebody call M. Night Shyamalan or something.

My weird new boss at this ice cream/breakfast/sandwich shop place showed me how to make muffins on my first day at work. Not that I didn't already know how, but he showed me that you only spray the bottom of the tins because "the muffins need traction. They need to be able to climb out and crawl up on the sides... You know, I think Edgar Allen Poe wrote a short story about that."
???
I'm not sure how long I can be employed by a crazy person.
-
You know, I think there is just something about people who make muffins for a living that turns them Wrong. I would recommend you get out now.
-
Frank Zappa sang about a slightly deranged mad scientist muffin man. I think you may have something there.

Incriminating things
Are you mocking my poejstr'ing?

Saw a preview for the next M. Night Shyamalan flick. Looks interesting. Starring Paul Giamatti playing a lonely guy living in a pool house and involves a mysterious phantom swimmer.

I saw it too (Harry Potter?). After The Village, I'm skeptical. I didn't see Signs but liked Unbreakable. But, man, I hate The Villiage.
But I love Paul Giamatti.

...where, in a suprise twist, the mysterious swimmer turns out to be the living inhabitant of the pool house, and Giamattie turns out to be the ghost that haunts it!
I kid, but just watch - you know it's gonna be something like that. Who knows, maybe I even called it.
Yeah, when I saw the Village, I was all like, why did M. Night Shymalan make a movie about Mennonites? Also, there have been rampant rumours that Shymalan stole this story from the Margaret Peterson Haddix children's book "Running out of Time." Still, I don't know if I agree that the story was stolen, and am more likely to believe that we all have a fear of going into the woods (or being chased by something scary) long imprinted into our collective unconciousness from years of evolution, and that films like the Blair Witch Project, The Village and countless other horror films that have people running through the woods with something chasing them just tap into that.

Hey i'm with you on this one. Very conflicted. I loved Ths Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, Signs however was ridiculous and I didn't even bother to watch The Village. But whereas I could tell from the preview that The Village was gonna suck, this one looks interesting and Paul Giamatti is great.

The thing I liked about the new M. Night Shyamalan trailer was that there was absolutely nothing sinister about the trailer itself. Just a completely straightforward (although low-dialogue; I don't remember if there was any) romance trailer, and then at the end the name "M. Night Shyamalan" appears and I seem to recall a somewhat sinister chord. No explanation of what is sinister about this romance, except that since it is M. Night Shyamalan it apparently will be sinister in some manner.
(Perhaps shameful footnote: I have not seen any M. Night Shyamalan movies although I understand I probably should.)

Starring Paul Giamatti playing a lonely guy living in a pool house...
For some reason, I get the feeling that Paul Giamatti has been a lonely guy living in a pool house. And then "American Splendor" hit, and then "Sideways," and now he can't walk down the street without pu$$ys flying at him.
He still lives in the pool house, though.

Dammit Bozak you're not supposed to give away the surprise ending. Give a spoiler alert next time.

If I had to count the times someone was throwing pu$$ys at me, and I had to jump on top of them, pick them up and hurl them back at the person so that I could walk into the mouth of a giant EAGLE, my cheap beer would be Red Stripe.

i liked the Village ok. it wasn't, i dunno, the best movie ever, but it still beat the shit out of swim fan in alley one night and left it for dead.
