You know, I'd never heard of this before the trailers, and I couldn't quite place why it sounded so familiar. Now I know. (And knowing is half the battle.)
Really? Holy shit, out of all the Goosebumps books, that one, and Leonardo DiCaprio??
That's random, but, if it means there's three G.B. movies coming out . . .
. . . well, that one was a pretty weak book.
I think, ideally . . . but it's just me . . . the first three, Welcome to Dead House, Stay Out of the Basement, and Monster Blood, as a three-part movie, like how the Twilight Zone movie was in four segments . . .
but damn, SOMEone out there has to agree that's a random movie to . . .
I think for the first time ever, your cynicism failed. Not a very strong connection you've made between the two works when your only basis for that connection is the whole dream thing. I Live in Your Basement! was more of an anxiety issue over whether or not the character is dreaming or awake, whereas Inception gets past that anxiety really fast; it more focuses on how to totally change a person's mind with planting an idea. Not that you would normally do this, Troy, but please do not claim that just because you were making a joke that it doesn't need to be read into that much, because the joke doesn't work. Your joke is only based on a superficial connection that calls attention to something that is only a minor aspect of Inception. You've done much better than that before, Troy, don't sell yourself short. I'm sorry, Troy, but the mark wasn't hit this time.
trooooooooooooooooooooooooooy!, you still havent made my sandwich yet.Oh and you forgot to do a review.
p.s if your so burnt out then maybe u could just have a brak from the blog for a while,that way u might be able to enjoy finishing the blog and create some mean reviews.
And yet, the adaption somehow made the book far more comprehensive! It's amazing what having exposition instead of just mindless twists can do for films.
In other news, I just read Weirdo Halloween. So, uh... two different HorrorLand books feature the villain forcing the protagonist to eat a dead squirrel. I thought I would just mention that.
Other than that, the book gets surprisingly good at around the halfway point, to my astonishment.
For the most part, I assumed the reason Troy was away was because of some "Let's Get Invisible!" style accident where we now have a mirror Troy who likes Goosebumps.
Also his name was Yort.
But now we have this inspiring message. Monday just got awesome again.
So... are there only five books left before this blog ends, or are you still going to do HorrorLand and the rest of the other books that had been on the sidebar before?
I don't have time for your logic and traditions and explanations!
So what is happening with the blogs future? are you still planning on everything? or just stopping when the all the books on the side are links and thays it?
you have to do at least one Give yourself goosebumps, that would be interesting. I used to love those because most of the endings weren't "and then I got stabbed in the neck..[next chapter], no it was just a snowflake on my neck"

Wow, troy is still alive!
The book was better.

I don't get it

. . . oh *#&$ the joke's on ME.
is there a scene with someone turning inside out? or at least DiCaprio getting hit with a baseball bat? If not, then dissapointed am I.
You fucking tease.

tl;dr
I love you Troy.
I'm sure Eli Roth will make a Chicken Chicken adaptation one of these days.
Actually, I'm pretty sure Eli Roth already did that one.
Next Summer Nolan will direct The Andy Movie. It will win every academy award, and be the highest grossing film of all time.
Where's the review?

Brak?
seriously loved this xxx
I'm sure Troy's just jealous because now Stine has even more money.
I saw that already; it turns out they were all dogs or something...and the car wash cost $5.
A Tool, I think he was referring to the fact that both confuse the living shit out of you.
You know, I'd never heard of this before the trailers, and I couldn't quite place why it sounded so familiar. Now I know.
When is this dude coming back?

For the longest time, I read this as "Stay Out of the Basement" and wondered what plant-based clones have to do with dreams.
I just finish Heads, You Lose.
It was pretty good. Really.
I picked up Weirdo Halloween today. Haven't read it yet but I checked and it is 52 CHAPTERS LONG
This should be fun

Move over Fincher, Christopher Nolan is now my favourite director.
Are we to assume a new review is coming up?
Wow, it had been changed back to "new review every Monday" and that schedule couldn't even be kept for *one* review.
Well played, Troy.
It wouldn't be a real update if it was on time, duh
So... are there only five books left before this blog ends, or are you still going to do HorrorLand and the rest of the other books that had been on the sidebar before?
Until next time...

I haven't seen that in stores yet.
ok how do we do this........
let's DO this thing
Come on Troy! Let's kick some ICE!
so... it's monday. i'm going to be checking back obsessivly untill the review comes.
We COULD do it, but let's just say we did and not do it. Less work involved.
So, are you just screwing with us, then?
The last time Troy updated - with an actual entry - I was single. Now I'm engaged. Wow. It's been that long since the last update.
Holy ravioli, they're going to reissue Revenge Of The Lawn Gnomes. (Tellingly, the due date is April 1st.)
I have my fingers crossed for Labor Day, really love this blog!
Well, this is disappointing.
So, uh, is this going to continue?
Three mondays later, and nuthin'
Good news, the Goosebumps movie is back in production.
ROFLMFAO. Okay, I stopped laughing now.
maybe we'll get an update on december 22. surely you don't need more than a year, troy?
