When East Coast snowstorms are keeping you trapped indoors, then it’s time to try out STRAW DOGS: THE BOARD GAME!

The first time I saw Sam Peckinpah’s ferocious Straw Dogs, it was on a double bill at the long-gone 8th Street Playhouse with Scorsese’s Taxi Driver.

I was 13 years old and I’m sure that that double feature really scrambled my adolescent brain and gave me some very unhealthy ideas about boy-girl relationships to take away. Such is life...

ROADTRIP!

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
Sultry fields of green,
Whispered tales of lore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war,
We are your overlords.
