Monster of the Day #827

It’s going to be a short week, and I have a few more snake stills, so we might as well kill these off. Here we get an utterly generic bad CGI snake that could have come from any one of a dozen SyFy ‘original’ ‘movies.’

I hope everyone had a good weekend. I did, except I took a fall on Friday and I pretty evidently bruised or cracked a rib. It’s a preview of old age, I guess, in that every movement kind of hurts. And in my case, old age isn’t that far off, so I guess I’ll try to use it as an object lesson. Another lesson: Avoid falls.

Jeff W. sent me the latest, and sadly looks to be last, season (13 episodes) of Futurama for Christmas. I thought this was the best batch of episodes since the show left Fox. I have watched all but the last episode, that will get my full attention tonight.

    Oh man. Falling can suck no matter what your age. Hope you feel better soon.

    And yeah, I have not seen this movie, but I almost feel like I have “seen” it, or at least a kissing cousin…

    To quote a local Horror Host, ‘Gravity is my enemy.”
    Or as Sheldon says, “Gravity, thou heartless b!t%h.”

    Giant snakes, Crocks, Dinos- scary.
    Giant rabbits, gerbils, koalas…not so much.

  • Gamera977

    Well, I believe more people are killed each year by falls than snakes- giant or otherwise…

    Get well soon Ken!

    PS: Sucks even worse when you’re a turtle- fall on your back and it’s impossible to turn over.

  • The Rev.

    Damn, buddy, I hope you heal up quickly. Take care of yourself.

    This looks like the 2008 movie called Copperhead. Typical Siffy crap. Billy Drago is there to occasionally liven things up, and there are a few ridiculous touches throughout, but you’re really not missing much if you’ve never seen it.

    No one write anything funny. I recall when I fell last year and crack some ribs that it hurt to laugh(and cough, and sneeze, and sit down, and get up. . .).

  • Ken_Begg

    Yeah, that’s pretty much where I am. Not hurting enough to get pain meds, by a good stretch, but it’s pretty sore and flares up whenever I move or, as you note, sneeze or cough. Oh, well. If there is a crack instead of a bruised rib, it can’t be too bad, because I’m sure it would hurt quite a bit worse. This is obnoxious enough, though. You know, a glove falls on the floor and you’re pissed because it means you have to bend all the way over….

  • Gamera977

    Sorry, I was trying to lighten Ken’s mood with a little humour. Hope you’re back up and around soon Ken.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Oh dear! Get well soon, Ken.

  • Ken_Begg

    Oh, I’m fine. Its not great, but as long as it doesn’t get worse, it’s nothing major. An annoyance, really. Thanks for everyone’s concern, though.

  • Flangepart

    I know the feelin’, Bro.
    Get thee to a store what sells grabbers…not the movie…and avoid any and all bending over.

  • Marsden

    Ken, why weren’t you in your Jaeger?
    Well, just feel better, soon. And get a trained monkey to pick up those gloves!

  • Ken_Begg

    HA! I ordered one from Amazon first thing!

  • Rock Baker

    I actually found the giant rabbits to more formidable than most giant snakes I’ve seen. But that may be because the giant rabbit movie was better than pretty much every giant snake movie I’ve seen. These Sci-Fi Channel things looked so terrible I never bothered with any of them.

  • Rock Baker

    What about aspirin? That might help if there isn’t pain pain, but just some minor pain. Either way, we’re behind you. God bless and Merry Christmas, Ken!

  • Ken_Begg

    Yeah, I usually don’t use that stuff, but I’m sure I have something around the house. Tonight for sure.

  • Flangepart

    But put a shock collar on ‘im, ya know…just in case.

  • bgbear_rnh

    I got a cane to relieve some of the stress of standing up and sitting down.
