Extended Preview for our first-ever GrimTrax Feature: VIRUS
Added 2024-07-12 17:38:49 +0000 UTCHello, Traxians!
Your oldest [cough] pal Erik here, with... [cough] hmm.. I think I might be coming down with something...
Never the less, I'm here with our first GrimTrax feature, a not-at-all cheerful movie about a global pandemic! What a way to start the weekend. It's Virus (not the one from the '90s with Jamie Lee Curtis, unfortunately) — but a fun romp regardless! [cough]
A mysterious virus has wiped out 90% of life on Earth. Who’s ready to laugh?!
In our first-ever GrimTrax feature, a deadly weapon is smuggled out from behind the Iron Curtain. No, not a Trabant, it’s a biological weapon.
Soon after, the entire planet comes down with a sickness that mostly seems to make the cast sweat and yell at each other. Said cast includes a Carradine of notable old dead guys (yes, that is the collective noun for a bunch of old dead guys) as well as Olivia Hussey, who somehow found a role even grimmer than Juliet.
Get the full riff right here. And use the coupon code COUGH for an extra 5% off until July 19.
Enjoy!
Erik

2024-07-15 00:38:20 +0000 UTCThe LimeWire joke! That actually happened to me! In 2001, my parents got a Dell with Windows Me (I know, that OS leads to thousand-yard-stare). The computer actually ran OK at first, but started to show its sh*ttyness pretty quickly when anything new was installed. Then, I downloaded LimeWire! I basically stabbed that computer in its already defective heart! Installing XP was the only thing that made it useable, but it never really recovered ... lol

2024-07-13 04:25:54 +0000 UTCoh, you got that right Kevin. lime-wire was the worst............ conversely, just so easy in movies to blame everything on the "nazis", oh wait it was East Germany. never-mind it's the commies lol

2024-07-12 20:01:36 +0000 UTCYou beat me to it. I was going to make a joke about the IRS, but I see you’ve elegantly taken the wind out of my proofreading sails!

2024-07-12 18:22:20 +0000 UTC"GrimTax" . . . the premium one pays above and beyond the standard GrimTrax cost.
