Red State - A New Kevin Smith Film

Red State is the upcoming horror film by Kevin Smith.  Kevin Smith is the writer and director of classics such as Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, and Dogma.  This new film, though, has a twist.

Red State is a horror movie.  It is not filled to the brim with dick & fart jokes and pot humor.  Red State is reported to not look like a Kevin Smith film--a sentiment that Smith himself touts with pride.  Red State is also not a political movie.  When the title was announced some vituperation from the political right came to bear, but previews and discussion of the film have revealed that it is certainly a horror film more than anything else, even when the internet seems to say otherwise.

Another twist on Red State is the way the film is being marketed.  Typically, a $10 million dollar film will cost another $5-10 million in its budget for marketing.  It's a typical Hollywood studio strategy.  You make a movie, then advertise the hell out of it to try and grab a wide audience.  Kevin Smith is taking a different route.

Dear Migraine Fairy

I get migraines sometimes. I assume they come from the migraine fairy, so I've written her a poem below:

Dear Migraine Fairy,
Why you gotta be such a bitch?
Seriously, what's your problem?

When the tooth fairy comes,
she leaves a little quarter
When the Prostitute fairy comes,
a sugary bag of syphilis.

But when you stop by,
you pull the broomstick outta your b*tt
then whack me over the eye till I look like Sloth from the Goonies.

Seriously, I hope you die of wing cancer.
