SHREDDER

We chose the name “Absolute Horror” for this website for a reason.  The word “Absolute” is defined as “Perfect in quality or nature; complete”, while the word “Horror” is defined as “An intense, painful feeling of repugnance and fear.”  The two terms seem to be inapposite, but in reality we seek the Absolute Horror – those movies that are so terrible that they achieve perfection.  One Absolute Horror that exists outside of the horror realm is the television show FULL HOUSE.  From the opening song, to the cheesy character intros and to the perfect one-liners that have emerged: “Okay dude!” “How rude!”, Full House meets all the requirements.  So, we all know what the Olsen Twins are up to, Bob Saget has been on Entourage and the movie “The Aristocrats”, Dave Coulier was on “The Surreal Life”, John Stamos is now without Rebecca Romjin, Candace Cameron married a hockey player, but what about Scott Weinger, the voice of Aladdin and Cameron’s boyfriend Steve?  AbsoluteHorror.com has found him.

Mr. Weinger plays the role of Cole in the snowboarding slasher flick SHREDDER.  The movie follows a group of snowboarders who head up to an abandoned ski resort to do some off-limits shredding.   Before arriving, they stop at a local watering hole where the conversation with the tavernkeeper goes something like this:

Tavernkeeper:    “Stay away from Rocky Summit.” 

A response of indifference from the snowboarder.

Tavernkeeper:    “I’m telling you, stay away from Rocky Summit?  We folks don’t want you going near that place.”

How about a movie where the tavernkeeper says “Please go to Rocky Summit.  It’s haunted and the locals don’t mind if you anger the spirits.”   

So, a few years back, there was a murder up on the mountain when some boarders drunkenly ran a little girl off the slopes.  When our group arrives, they immediately are terrorized by an all black-wearing snowboarder who conveniently leaves the “Rules of the Mountain” lying around the slopes.  Hmm, I wonder who would have a vendetta against snowboarders?

Weinger is the best among the bad actors in this movie, not too difficult a feat to attain.  His character is a loser who has a crush on a hot blond who treats him like crap.  Poor dude, not only does he catch the blonde screwing another guy in a hottub, but he ends up hooking up with the girl who everyone thinks is a lesbian.  Poor Scotty.   A cool drinking game would be to watch this movie with your eyes closed, picturing Aladdin going through all of these scenarios as Scotty still sounds like Aladdin (guess he never did cross the puberty line).

The movie has some cool snowboarding scenes – definitely where the majority of the budget went.  There were some beautiful shots of the mountain, along with some very cool boarding moves, but who really cares, I can get that fix watching X Games.  It’s too bad that money couldn’t have been used for some better gore.  In one part of the movie, the character gets her scarf caught up in a ski lift and the director shows her hanging by the lift three or four times as if the directors were trying to get extra mileage out of a kill that isn’t even that scary.  It’s like “Where’s Sarah?” as unbeknownst to the characters, Sarah is behind them hanging by a skilift.  Fine, use it once, but not three or four times. 

In my favorite part, when one of the characters is killed, you thank the TIVO gods as you can slow-mo and watch how hackneyed the editing was in the death.  It looks like the character is sucked into the blades like a cartoon character.  C’mon, now.  Watch this for the Aladdin/Full House kid, but that’s it.

RATING:  * (out of four)

This is the FUNNEST film that I have EVER seen. I have never laughed so hard. It is so bad its quality. A Ninja on ski's and the fact they pick up He-Man on route to an abandoned cabin. Fantastic!! The best bit is where the girl accidentally hangs herself from a ski lift and then continues to be hung throughout the film, randomly being displayed between a sex scene and a murder scene...LOVE IT.....I FEEL COMPLETE HAVING SEEN THIS FILM.....I need more of this film!!

Dear god, dear god. WHAT have they done! I started watching this film just when a girl manages to tie her scarf to a ski lift and around her neck hard enough to hang her after she gets off it. This in itself surely is enough to put this film into some sort of record book. But NO, the true beauty in this film comes from, NOT ONLY a skiing ninja but also; A man who insists on banging EVERYTHING, terrible plot holes AND the fact that the girl continues to go round the ski-lift throughout the period of the film, in the BACKGROUND of the other characters dialogue. You MUST see this film. It made me happy inside.

Man it was hilarious,wholesome movie which i saw thrice time.The pictures arer too feeble even i could'nt recognise many one there.

I suspect that's thereason general public want to read blog....Internet visitors generally create blogs to declare themselves or their secret views. Blog grant them same matter on the monitor screen what they specifically needed,so as the above stuffs declared it.

well mostly i do not watch the movies but which movie are you telling on this comments so it will be indeed horrofic and i will indeed watch it.

This is such a good combination of horror and absolute in this blog to discuss about.

I am glad to post my views and points in this blog, but I must say that webmaster of this blog has done a very great job to make his blog more informative and more discussable but unfortunately everthing is same here that more than 80% in this and other blogs post their comments for making spam!!!, so i will really all this spam links to google band tool, because webmaster makes blogs for making discuss and for sloving each other problems. thanks http://www.gordoniihoodia.net


After what seems like forever (but is really only 4 days) my v7ndotcom elursrebmem entry finally ranks, coming in somewhere between 25 and 30 depending on what ranking tool and data center you happen to be using (SERP). However now that every SEO on the planet has a blog I thought I might cruise around the blogosphere and see how blogs are being used in the contest. www.gordoniihoodia.net/penis-enlargement-review.html

I cannot completely commit to Camp 1 as I do think there are times, and situations, where users have to take responsibility for their own choices. For example, if someone choses to remain on dialup when higher speed connections are available, and within their reach, I do not think I should be obliged to design with their free choice in mind. If they choose to stay with an older browser rather than upgrade, why should I have to take that into account? To do so would constrain design and possibly compromise the experience of others for no good reason. http://www.gordoniihoodia.net/penis-enlargment.html

Well that’s 10 entries from blogland maybe we’ll visit some others as the contest progresses, gosh May seems far away doesn’t it? Lastly thanks to folks who helped spread the word about my giving the contest prize money to charity, and to all the folks who linked to me, here’s hoping we can turn something completely silly into something good that actually helps somebody, who needs the money much more than most of the people competing. http://www.gordoniihoodia.net/best-5-penis-enlargement.html

People just don’t like to write comments, they like to read posts therefore there is no need to fake posts. Take ProBlogger for an example sometimes he is left with 20 comments a day sometimes he is left with 200 comments a day even tho he is getting 25K-30K visitors . http://www.averagepenisenlargement.com

Well I wana must say that. This blog is very imformative for me and I m very glad full for this blog owner. And I must say this to blog owner u make more this type blogs and we get more information abt this. Thanks

Among these important things there's one thing which is been negleted by many of peoples which is the rest engiens.I will say that don't neglect all the other engines listed on the page. Be sure that your website is constructed well, with good meta tags, keyword density and relevant content. It's well worth all the effort! http://www.penisenlargementc.com

mostly time I found blog but I naver gain lots of information but this blog have lots of important information abt this and I got lots of imformation on it . Thanks

My main concern is that you can't guarantee every page of your website will be included in the SERPs. Considering I'm constantly adding new products to my company's website, I need to be sure that customers can find them as soon as possible.http://www.seoptimizerz.com

If you're a blogger (or a blog reader), you're painfully familiar with people who try to raise their own websites' search engine rankings by submitting linked blog comments like "Visit my discount pharmaceuticals site." This is called comment spam, we don't like it either, and we've been testing a new tag that blocks it. From now on, when Google sees the attribute (rel="nofollow") on hyperlinks, those links won't get any credit when we rank websites in our search results. This isn't a negative vote for the site where the comment was posted; it's just a way to make sure that spammers get no benefit from abusing public areas like blog comments, trackbacks, and referrer lists. http://www.gordoniihoodia.net
