Comment on Not a Movie Review: The Cabin in the Woods by Phil

And the Clown! (Initial caps seem warranted here.) The security guard using a handgun to try and stop the Clown as he advances towards her, and it doesn’t stop him, and she must have known it wouldn’t stop him, but she used it anyway because it was all she had…

Really genuinely terrifying – and shocking in a way that hardly any of the ‘cabin in the woods’ violence had been. Yet at the same time it was exhilarating in its wild, prolific inventiveness, and actually funny. That sequence – which, thinking about it, probably took about as long to make as the rest of the film put together – wins some sort of prize for Most Potentially Conflicting Emotions Successfully Aroused In Five Minutes Flat.

Dan in SEND does indeed have a playlist (it’s on my website). I worried about readers not getting the references or worse, upsetting them with Dan’s choices, but in the end, left all the song references in. End result? I am much cooler in my son’s estimation now that I willingly listen to the screaming death metal rock he likes.

It really does not matter how many times I read this, I still find the story strikingly compelling. Thank you Jeff, for this and the series of books i have read. I appreciate the wit and insight, and a quippy line i can use to make my friends think I am smarter than I really am.

Jon, I worry about turning myself into an Emperor Norton sort. At least Norton was a pretend emperor.

I say, if the position does not exsist already, just claim it. Print up those cards. Hand them out. Issue a press release that ” THE POET LAUREATE OF HOBOKEN, NJ” will be doing a reading at XYZ (bar- free drinks). Whose gonna contest you? and if someone does, then you get to have a poetry slam off (free drinks). It’s a WIN-WIN !

As someone who isn’t quite clear on what a Hoboken is, and who also refuses to use the Google (trod upon my lawn not, younglings), I’d like to say I enthusiastically endorse this initiative.
