EPISODE VI - THE HUNT (for red meat in) OCTOBER!!!

WOW!  It sure has been a few ticks since the last episode of FRIDAY NIGHT BITES!!!  Over a year has passed, and a loinsworth of shanks have transpired during that piping heap o' time.

Rather than go back over every morsel consumed, let me just say that:

meat is good, 
it is better grilled, 
and grilled meat with friends will leave one thrilled.  

Iambic Pentameter?

THRILLED is what I was to have everyone back on the patio last Friday Night.  The LA weather had finally gone from Sweltering to Chilly, and was much more suitable to our mid-October timestamp. 

Early arrivers J-Mart and Tyler used the office here at Future Street Studios to ink their first feature film movie deal.  Here is a photo of me capturing their magical moment.  

Fancy picture deals aside, it was time to fire up the grill.  And with meatless bellies a'rumblin' we did just that...

It wasn't long before we were consuming RED RED RED meat in great abundance.  The ravenousness with which our group tore into the crimson flesh reminded me of a great sea battle (more on sea battles in a bit).  Here is a RARE shot of the kill just after leaving the grill, and only seconds til' experiencing human digestion.  

Now, it is well know across this fair planet that eating and movies go together like steak and more steak. Thus, the newest addition to the Friday Night Bites experience is none other than a DIGITAL MOVIE PROJECTOR.  HOORAY!  

But what film would most perfectly compliment the mass consumption of red meat on a frosty night in October?  Red? October? hmmmm.  

DUHHHHH!  That would be THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER, you silly goose!

This one has been a classic dating back to my time served in the Russian/American Cold War, as a child of the 1980's.  John McTiernan's thoroughly masculine interpretation of dudes chasing other dudes beneath the North Atlantic ocean whilst firing torpedos at each others afts, sits atop the mountain of submarine movies.  Runners up would be Crimson Tide, and U571.  

THFO pits a young Jack Donaghy versus a crustier version of James Bond, in a battle of wits, moris code, and the ability to distinguish the difference between a thermonuclear submarine equipped with advanced caterpiller stealth turbines, and the fucking of whales (one must be fit with an acute sense of hearing for this task)...

Also, there is a sketchy cook played by Tomas Arana.  

So yeah, hopefully you've seen this film, and if you haven't then this blog post should serve as a semi spoilerific dose of snoozing and losing.  

Alright, so thats all for this episode.  Much more to consume in the future.  Thanks to everyone who made it out last Friday.   Please check out our friends at the Uncle Slavko Blog for updates on their most mutilatinous monster movie, which is nearing it's final stages of post production.

BYE!
