After coming to the realization that my redesign was actually going to complicate almost everything that I was attempting to simplify, the redesign has officially been put on hold. I might find a way to make it work or I may just bite the bullet and switch over to WordPress or something similar (all the cool kids are doing it).

In addition to (or maybe because of) this setback I have found myself somewhat burned out on the b-movie scene over the past year, so I have decided to take an indefinite hiatus from this site so I can recharge my batteries a bit. Truth be told, it's no fun right now, and if it isn't any fun I see no point in forcing myself to continue just out of some sense of inertia. Don't fret, this site will continue and I have no plans of abandoning the old girl. I will still answer your e-mails and may even pop in with the occasional update from time to time.

If for some reason you simply can't live without my ramblings, I have some good news for you. I will now try and put forth some effort towards updating the blog ( http://badmovierealm.blogspot.com/ ) on a semi-regular basis. Also I have recently begun writing video game reviews and articles for Jordan Garren's (of the B-movie Film Vault) brand new Casual Gaming Blog.

If you are a gamer head on over and check it out. I'm involved, so you know it has to be awesome, right?

Thanks to everyone who enjoys this site and I'll see when I see you,
Derek Miller,
Webmaster, BadMovieRealm.com

We usually try to stay pretty silly and lighthearted around here, but I'm afraid I must be serious for a moment. Over the past week the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, have received numerous death threats—most notably from the radical New York-based organization, Revolution Muslim—in response to a recent episode of their show in which the Muslim prophet Mohammed appeared.

Regardless of your opinion of this particular episode, South Park, or its creators; this cowardly attack on free speech is completely unacceptable in a free society and must be fought. It is vitally important to demonstrate to those who wish to silence others by means of intimidation and violence that free people will not cower in fear because of the irrational demands of violent extremists.

In response to these terroristic threats, I am hereby announcing BadMovieRealm.com's unwavering support of Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone as a show of open defiance against those who have issued these threats. While I admit this may not be much, I feel obligated to show my support to the creators of my favorite, little foul-mouthed fourth graders. It is my hope that other bloggers and webmasters will join me in this show of solidarity against radical Islam's latest “Jihad against free speech.”
