Hello, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you prevent it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any support is very much appreciated.

I’ve said that least 1841647 times. The problem this like that is they are just too compilcated for the average bird, if you know what I mean

Is that for real? I kind of think that’s real. Either way, thanks for posting.

The real hudson hawk was in new york he did a fleet of emptying homes like the grinch that stole xmas left not a crumb big enough for a mouse he left nothing a empty home it was the 60’s the local police was in on it making sure the rich homes were cleared for the taking he was no exotic jewel thief nor was he a cat burgler his name was (eddie) Edward Gray from staten island NY and the news papers called him the huson hawk he did time in sing sing when he was cought but during his time he was made comfortable
as he would not give up the police that was in on it so they took care of him i know this info because to my great dismay and shame—–he was my father he was no hero and less a hero as a father the movie was amusing and i had wished he was like that i would not have the shame he moved to ca worked for TRW during the aerospace era of the 80’s he stole gold use in the plating of electronic boards use for the shuttle and other craft in the redondo beach CA area he went to nevada and i have not heard of him since this is what i know about the true hudson hawk—–he was NO HERO

CC: Many ghost stories employ the conventions of horror, but just as often they don’t. Sometimes ghost stories focus more on the supernatural aspects (THE EYE), sometimes they are romances (like WUTHERING HEIGHTS), sometimes comedy (GHOSTBUSTERS);often they are more concerned with morality than they are with scares.

There is a long literary tradition of ghost stories, so the form the narrative takes varies more than the fairly narrowly defined horror conventions, which tends to aspire to little else than to instill fear, horror, tension and terror (all of which are awesome goals).

I’d say that Kubrick is mindful of horror conventions in THE SHINING, especially in his use of Penderecki on the soundtrack, but ultimately is more focused on exploring Jack’s breakdown, which he couches in familiar tropes from the psychological ghost story.
