bibliophobe \ BIB-lee-uh-fohb \ , noun; 

• a person who hates, fears, or distrusts books. 

Origin: Bibliophobe comes from the Greek biblion meaning "book" and phóbos "fear."

vote

• The best way you have of voicing your opinion in a way that can matter. Nothing's perfect, and there's always going to be mistakes, but there is simply no excuse for not casting a ballot for what you believe in. Take the time to understand the issues and then take the time to vote. Don't let people who aren't going to be around four years from now decide your future. Complaining without voting is worse than any hanging chad.

My conscience is clear because I took the time to vote.

Don't worry about rocking the vote, just vote!

Review Tuesday: The Exorcist 1973

 

 

The Exorcist

1973

The classic 1973 film about demonic possession. 

It's still spooky season! So one night I asked Mrs bax0jayz to select a movie and she was having terrible difficulty with it. While flipping through horror titles I noticed THE EXORCIST. 

 

"Have you ever seen this before?" I queried. 

 

"No," she stated in a surprisingly firm tone.

 

"This is the ORIGINAL film about demonic possession. Look at the amazing reviews... for a HORROR movie! We MUST see it!" I said. 

 

And she agreed!

 

What is there to say? Horror films are usually half-baked, poorly filmed, and poorly developed. This movie is quite the opposite. Running at over two hours, THE EXORCIST is wonderful because of the build and development. 

 

You know what? I had planned to write an entire thesis style review on all the many reasons why this was a benchmark for horror. But why should I? You should just watch it if you haven't already, and if you have, this is the perfect time of year for a refresher. The slow build getting to the ultimate battle between good and evil is perfect and rewarding. 

 

So, yeah, loved it!   

 

 

Vote!

Better than the other choices!
