Vampire movies are usually a love or hate impacting experience for me. Asian vampire movies are even more so. On one hand, you have to appreciate that they don’t always prescribe to Western cliches in their cultural differences. This tends to make things a bit refreshing and unexpected providing a pretty good viewing experience. On the other, Asian horror films can be very silly, and high on the cheesy dialog train. There often is this almost “too” frequent need to overact especially when involving young teens.

The contract bans inappropriate dancing, giving some examples of such as any dancing taking place with a 45 degree bend, no lap dancing, and enforcement on feet remaining on the ground.

We were this close to being up to our armpits in sea serpents. We may never know who or what prevented the oarfish invasion of the west coast, but they or it managed to stop a 13-feet-long troop carrier from releasing hundreds of thousands of eggs.

Had the oarfish not died before reaching her target, those eggs would have filled the Southern Californian portion of the Pacific Ocean, tying up the Port of Los Angeles and leaving Malibu and our second best Avengers team vulnerable to a land-based animal assault.

If you know anything about what prevented what could very well have been the darkest day of the War on Animals, rat them out. We’ve got a surplus of medals over here.

No one ever said the War on Animals was simple. Even one of the most active countries in fighting out battle may not be completely on humanity’s side.

According to reports, cockroach farms are a real industry in China. Apparently, people farm millions of these things and turn a good profit. How? They are used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. The pests are a source of protein, and the coating on their wings is prized.

So, maybe stay away from makeup imported from China.
