Only a very small percentage of the "pro-change" crowd want to eliminate Lovecraft. It's not black and white. Just because some of us agree with the change does not mean we agree with all of Mr. Older's points. The statue change does not mean Lovecraft is going anywhere.Steely Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266900897828837550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559219515161490189.post-59876698622360133892015-11-21T18:34:24.537-05:002015-11-21T18:34:24.537-05:00Unfortunately it seems that Older has made it clea...Unfortunately it seems that Older has made it clear it is not just changing the statue that he has as an objective but changing the whole way in which the world vies not just Lovecraft but his work as well. Trying to undermine and destroy the Lovecraft canon of work makes Older a fanatic of the kind I don't believe it is possible to compromise with. They are bullies and they have to be stood up to rather than just accepted. In this way I believe Joshi is absolutely right and we have by no means seen the end of this anti-Lovecraft campaign.

Ms. Tyrrell was the narrator for the movie "Wizards." I LOVE her voice. In any case, "Forbidden Zone" is over the top (or perhaps under the bottom, based upon your perspective.). I hate it, but I can't stop watching it. The dialog is bad, the acting is poor, but I keep watching it. Can't explain why ...<br /><br />I completely agree with the 3rd to the bottom paragraph that says: "Overall, from a critical standpoint, it could be very hard to find many positive aspects of this movie. But if you are looking for a fun, completely insane movie to watch with your friends, Forbidden Zone just might be the perfect movie. Tons of laughs will be guaranteed, and it’s safe to say that finding a movie that approaches it in weirdness would be no easy feat."<br /><br />Check it out, IF YOU DARE ;)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559219515161490189.post-78369556104254491112015-08-25T21:42:07.405-04:002015-08-25T21:42:07.405-04:00This is a good one, Steely.This is a good one, Steely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559219515161490189.post-84272663278989680302015-08-25T19:52:35.700-04:002015-08-25T19:52:35.700-04:00Tremendous blog!
