Nepotism On The Corner

post #1 of 22
Thread Starter 
Here's a review for an obscure little indie called Skinned Deep-
http://www.creature-corner.com/?type=reviews&id=537
It's a positive review comparing it to the fun drive-in movies of old. Here's a quote-
"But Christopher Seguine’s manic editing style, Atlantic West’s terrific makeup effects, Al Magliochetti’s in-your-face visual effects and the fresh, "fuck y’all" directing style of Gabe Bartalos are among Skinned Deep’s many highlights. "
Of all the movies out there, this one must be pretty special to warrant being one of The Corner's chosen few.
Fast forward a month later to-
http://www.creature-corner.com/?type=articles&id=580
A lengthy interview by the same author with anonymous makeup effects artist Al Magliochetti. Now where have I heard that name before?
The interview opens with:
"In the spirit of total disclosure, I've known Al Magliochetti for over thirty years. We were both born and raised in Hamden, Connecticut. We met in 1973, in our high school Cinematography class. We've worked together, both in and out of the film/television industry."

This full disclosure would have been better served before you're "review" of his movie.

Nepotism has to do with family relations.

nepotism
n : favoritism shown to relatives or close friends by those in power (as by giving them jobs)

I looked it up on dictionary.com. If Oxford says otherwise, oh well.

In fact... YOU WILL NOT BE SAVED.

I stand corrected.

Oh sweet Christ! Plutonium is worthless, and even Devin's condescending one-sentence posts have failed us! Can anyone or anything stand against the corruption that is Internet movie reviewing?

I can't look away these days. It's like some gloriously bad Ed Wood movie.

The Corner certainly ain't what it used to be.

Actually, it's exactly what it used to be, except it's called Dread Central now. The new Corner is like Crystal Pepsi.

Except the boards they move too hurt my eyes.

Devin is technically correct. The word "nepotism" derives from the practice of hiring ones nephews as a family favour, though the meaning has become broader in modern times.

Man, if these were medieval times, someone would be feeling pretty stupid right about now.

What was this thread about again? Tony Danza's Go-Kart?

It's about the Creature Corner.

Man, I haven't been over there in awhile. Does anyone have a link?

Shouldn't the word by "neoplasm"?

A curse upon the Whitehead clan.

I actually meant to type "nipotism", which is the practice of hiring Nipsy Russell.

Holy crap! Devin Apogizing?! People having fun in the forum??

It's the approach of the 3rd Horseman, I'm tellin' ya!

Oh, and, also to point out, Skinned Deep is a movie released on Fangoria's DVD label, Gorezone. And CC supposedly has a "relationship" with Fangoria TV. Just to connect some dots.

That said, the movie doesn't seem to suck, but it sure ain't the Second Coming, either.

To be complete, we need Big Rich or the reincarnation of him to post here.
