Meaningless little post to mark that I've added some stuff to the ol' etsy shop (mostly prehistoric whatnot, although I intend to include the Kitty Pryde one later on. Maybe also Mirage? I don't know. Weasel Sea.

Jun. 26th, 2008 03:23 pmHellraiser: Bloodline (1996), Alan Smithee. June 21, 9pm. View count: Two.
Oh right, we sat through Hellraiser IV. Sigh. Well, it's not as awful as III, so there's that. It's not terribly interesting, though, even though some of it does in fact take place in space. There's a lot of junk going on, but somehow all of it manages to be pretty halfassed, which I'm sure contributed to the Alan Smithee credit choice.
I remember checking out the photos of the new cenobites in Fangoria while this was in production (I KNOW, I am a gigantic doofus) and being excited for them, but they get a surprisingly small amount of screen time. The rather sad terror-dog thing, which is usually a puppet, undeservedly gets a lot more. The protagonist's wigs get a lot of screen time too.
Doug Bradley is definitely starting to show his age in this one; ten years on (nearly) from Hellraiser I. It's time to start feeling sorry for the poor man, because he's going to appear in all of the remaining four Hellraisers. They are all straight to video. Probably for the best.
Verdict: Snoo-zers.
