Suicidejocky’s Back With His Take On the New Unicorn Thing. You Know, What I Mentioned in the Previous Article. Go Ahead and Look If You Don’t Know What I’m Talking About. I’ll Wait. I Have a Sandwich, So I’m Cool With It.
It’s late, my editor wants an article and I need the cash. So here I am. What the hell is there to talk about….
Well, according to the ‘news’, something called the Slacker Mafia decided to create a blog. Well now, aren’t they special. So, being bored, I decided to check it out and found it quite interesting. It starts as your typical fanboy website about all their soon to be, but not yet, projects. Then it turned into a diablerie of the current state of HTG, which they feel is no longer up to their standards and is apparently a shell of its former glory. I also couldn’t help but notice the line about how HTG is “…a joke without us”. Being new here, I never got to witness this slow decline of HTG that the Slacker Mafia has noticed, or the fact that the Slacker Mafia even existed until today. I decided to do some checking up on them. Ya, I know, actual reporter type stuff. This place must be getting to me.
Anyway, on the card we have Mattricks, whose last movie was in ’07. Durden, whose contribution has been 2 whole films, his last one also being in ’07. And that’s as well for Marty, who has done an impressive 5 films, his last one being way back in ’06. Well, needless to say, I was impressed so far. Mind you, the only seeming relevance to the Slacker Mafia is the membership of Bishop. That made me wonder what exactly qualified one for membership in this self-proclaimed esteemed group anyway. Thing is, I don’t think they know either, as it seems Mattricks is the apparent leader, but by title only. Durden is their chauffer and Marty just hangs around crashing on the couch. Misio used to be a member, but left for unknown reasons, at least to me. Hey, I ain’t doing any real legwork here. Though it seems there may be an opening for anyone interested in groveling, bribing or sucking up their way into their ranks. Hmm, wonder if I’ve got a shot?
But hey, who am I to judge the Slacker Mafia based solely on their lack of contributions, or involvement and nippy back seat coaching? Not me, uh uh. Then again, maybe when they wake up and get the impression of the keyboard off their face, they’ll show us what the glory days of HTG were like.
Cry me a river, build a bridge, and get over it.
love,
Marty
