Sometimes I think that without the first Blade movie and Dark City (1998), there would have been no Matrix as we know it. It wouldn't have been a thing.

It's hard to believe it, but Hades (the Greek god of the Underworld) had 3 encounters with his nephew Heracles (Hercules) and was left humiliated. Each. Time.

The most well-known encounter is when Heracles travelled to the Underworld to capture the three-headed hound Cerberus for his 12th and final labor. Hades told his nephew that he could only take Cerberus if he could subdue him without using any weapons. But clever Heracles used the impenetrable Nemean Lion skin he wore as a makeshift muzzle and wrestled Cerberus until he was worn out.

The second time, Hades came to the surface to collect the soul of Queen Alcestis, who agreed to die in place of her husband King Admetus. But Heracles didn't like the idea of the happy couple's love being cut short and wrestled Hades into submission, just like he did his dog.

The third instance is the strangest though. When Heracles attacks the city of Pylos after its king refuses to purify him of his sins, Hades arrives to either collect the dead from the battlefield or defend the city (depending on the version). Either way, when Heracles sees his uncle, he shoots him in the shoulder with an arrow and Hades retreats to Olympus where Apollo heals his wound.

Some hard questions (and my opinion on them)…

1) Pineapple on pizza is good? 😒 No, who in the right mind would put pineapple on their pizza? 2) Peanut M&M's are the superior M&M's? I haven't partaken in the M&M's recently. 3) Is Metal Gear Solid 2 the best game of all time? One of them, for sure! 4) Is Death Stranding the greatest game of all time? One of them! Absolutely! Great designs and great actors in it! 5) Could a hot dog count as a sandwich? I don't think so, because it's like a vertical sandwich. 6) Is cereal a soup? The way some people make it? Yes! Me, I don't use milk in my cereal. 7) Smoking is never cool? It only LOOKS cool, but it's not cool for the biology.

Favorite Tim Burton movies:

Batman (1989)

Beetlejuice

Satanism and Witchcraft: The Classic Study of Medieval Superstition by Jules Michelet.

Originally published in Paris as "La Sorcière ("The Sorceress"): The Witch of the Middle Ages" in 1862.

A turning point on the 19th century politics and perception surrounding witchcraft.

The Phantom Stranger (Volume 2) #19.

"Return to the Tomb of the Ice Giants".

Halloween (1978) by John Carpenter.

One of the greatest horror movies of all time. A genre supernova. Created a taxonomic category that still lives. Unsparing precision, a simple premise and style.

While the original Halloween may not be the first slasher movie, it is the film that set the groundwork for the genre and paved the way for all the other great slasher franchises like Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. If you claim to be a horror fan and you haven't seen the original Halloween, first of all, shame on you. Second of all, watch it NOW. This one is required viewing.

Also, it is my personal opinion that John Carpenter's Halloween has the greatest opening scene in horror history.
