Freddy's Back!

New Line is in talks with horror production company Platinum Dunes to re-launch the "Nightmare on Elm Street" movie series, the franchise that helped establish the studio.
The first "Nightmare" movie was made by Wes Craven and released in 1984. The runaway success of the film spawned a slew of sequels and created one of the most popular villains in screen history, Freddy Krueger, played by Robert Englund.
The film centered on Krueger, a serial child killer murdered by angry parents, who returns with a burned face and a razor glove to terrorize teens in their dreams.
A screenwriter will be hired once the Writers Guild of America strike ends. The producers are hoping to focus part of the new movie on Krueger's backstory.
Platinum Dunes is prepping another re-launch, "Friday the 13th," which will be directed by Marcus Nispel for New Line, for whom it remade "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and its sequel.
I loved these Freddy movies. They were so fun to laugh at. I always found the "Child's Play" and "Nightmare on Elm Street Movies" to be entertaining. I love the classic one-liners. I will be at the theater when it returns. Go ahead! Make fun of me.

Jayhawks lose first game of season, to K-State. Yuck!

The Jayhawks lost for the first time in 24 years in Mahattan on Wednesday night. They were beaten by the Kansas State Wildcats 84-75. It was a rough night. K-State has a pretty good time this year, but I still think that the Hawks will go far when it comes to March Madness. They will try to start another winning streak on Saturday as they travel to Boulder to play the Colorado Buffaloes.

What in the world?

I am home sick today. I feel like crap. I have been working non-stop and it's caught up with me. I just woke up and saw a weird movie on Turner Classic Movies. It's called "Spider Baby." It's from the 60's and it's a weird one. Have you ever seen it? You can get the information at the following link: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=500275. I think this movie has made me even more sick. LOL!

It's time for ring number three

Sunday is a big day for football fans. It's the Super Bowl. I am hoping that the Giants win their 3rd. They haven't won a ring since they beat the Bills 20-19 back in 1991. I have been recording NFL Network this week. They have been replaying the Super Bowls. I forgot how close a couple of those games have been. I am excited for the game, but I am also sad. The end of the Super Bowl means the end of the season. That makes Kristi happy, though. It makes me think of a coffee cup that my mom had that said "We interrupt this wedding to bring you the football season." I can't remember where they got it, but I just remember that saying on the cup. Pretty funny.

Pretty funny website.

Obama Makes Campaign Stop in El Dorado

Democrat Barack Obama intensified a serious effort to win the traditionally red state of Kansas today, picking up the endorsement of Governor Sebelius for his White House bid.
About 2,300 cheering supporters braved blowing snow and frigid temperatures to crowd into a gymnasium at Butler Community College to see Obama.
His visit comes one week before Kansas' presidential caucuses.
Obama has Kansas ties: His mother was born at Fort Leavenworth, and his grandfather is a native of El Dorado.
Democratic presidential candidates long had sought Sebelius' backing in a state that George W. Bush carried by large margins in the 2000 and 2004 elections.
Sebelius said Obama had the ability to bridge generations for the betterment of the country.

Obama is coming to Wichita area this week

Presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama will make a campaign stop Tuesday in Kansas. He will appear at the Butler Community College gymnasium at 901 SW Haverhill Road in El Dorado, according to a press release issued by his campaign.
Doors open at 11:45 a.m. The event is free and open to the public, but an RSVP is required. Obama, who is trying to win the Democratic nomination, will visit one week before the Kansas Democratic caucus. The Republican caucus is Feb 9.
El Dorado is the hometown of Obama's grandfather. State party officials have said that no Democratic presidential candidate has campaigned in Kansas since 1960. That's pretty cool. I am hoping to make it over for the event.
