So there I am on Yahoo, and there’s this news item, Actor best known for playing ‘Batman’ butler dies at 94<\/em>. And immediately I’m annoyed, right? The headline doesn’t say the actor’s name. They’re making us click through, to get the name, and see more ads in the meantime. So, whatever, I click through, thinking, at 94, that could be like the TV version guy<\/a>. But, no, it’s Michael Gough<\/a>, from more recent movies. One or two I’ve even seen, before I fled from that bloated franchise.<\/p>\n

And but then on Yahoo News there’s a box to the right with more news stories. And one of them really catches my attention. It says Bereavement is just another slasher flick<\/em>. It could merely mean that there’s a movie named Bereavement<\/em>. But a slasher flick named Bereavement<\/em>? Really? And this story is alongside other stories with movie titles in them, namely Box Office Preview: ‘Battle: L.A.’ could win again <\/em>and Casting Call: Megan Fox Headed To ‘Knocked Up’ Sequel<\/em>, and see how the movie titles themselves are in the quotes? And Bereavement isn’t? So, maybe Bereavement isn’t Bereavement<\/em>, it’s just regular old bereavement.<\/p>\n

So then, that sounds pretty cool, like an interesting description of bereavement, likening it to a slasher flick. What’s that all that about, is I want to know. So I click through to it. Alas, it is just a movie, and it’s just another slasher flick, just like it says. Damn.<\/p>\n

Still, a hero ain’t nothing but a sandwich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
