Did strict primal, then less strict, then a bit less... you see where I'm going. I have Celiac's disease, so that stopped me from going down that path too far. Do I indulge on occasion? Yes. Homemade ice cream (my own), dark, sea salt chocolate, the occasional GF dessert from a really great restaurant.
What bothers me moreso than "cheating" as a term, is the value we've placed on food as a social connection. It's intent, first and foremost, is to nourish the body. Now, let me not kid you, I am a damn fine cook, and I make really yummy meals. But if I go to a friend's house and they are serving up nachos, chips, and other unhealthy bits, I'm steering clear. Why does it matter if I don't eat it, or I bring my own food? I'm not saying it is wrong to indulge -- don't misunderstand me. But it saddens me that choosing to eat better food and not eat crap has become the equal to feeling like a social miscreant.
Perhaps this topic is simply one that is bothering me more today, but that is what I think of when I read this question.

Menopause. Hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disruption, fatigue and crankiness. It surely can make any woman feel less than sexy. But don't believe that "Menopause took my libido away" line as the primary reason for a loss of sexual interest.
There are often other factors at work that can diminish your sex drive long before menopause—for starters, the quality of your partnership and your attitude toward sex.
Some women have never had much of a libido. They feigned sexual interest in order to date and mate and reproduce. With children came exhaustion and the nightly prayer, "Oh Lord, not tonight," while their partners prayed for sex. This dance of unbalanced desire continued until these women found their big out: "Menopause took my libido away."
On the other hand, there are women who were always interested in sex, but bored or sexually frustrated in their marriage. When they reach menopause, they're more than happy to give up unsatisfying sex. Now, they can claim "Menopause took my libido away."
Women who liked sex and were happily orgasmic can lose interest in sex if their relationship becomes dysfunctional, or an affair has eroded the trust in the marriage. These women actually look forward to saying "Menopause took my libido away."
It doesn't have to be that way.
There are many women who keep their libido in great shape after they reach menopause. They like sex for the sake of sex. To them, initiating sex is both a right and a turn-on. Shared sexual power and a mutual interest in setting aside time for making love has kept their menopausal libido alive and well. Menopause did not "take their libido away."
What can you do to take charge again and ensure a healthy libido well after menopause?
- Plan for a fulfilled sex life well before you reach menopause. Don't wait until a pattern of denial and poor behavior in your relationship make isolation in bed inevitable.
- Talk to your partner about finding time for emotional and physical intimacy. Develop or continue a little public display of affection.
- Discuss the issues of physical change that will come to both of you with age, like vaginal dryness, thinner genital tissue, and potential erectile dysfunction. Face it before it happens. Don't let shame and embarrassment ruin your sex life later on.
- Most importantly—and I can't emphasize this enough: Avoid women who complain that all their husbands ever want is SEX. These women are toxic. Choose friends with happy couplings. Choose to spend time with women who like to laugh about sex and themselves, and still notice who is hot and who is not.
Sex doesn't cost a thing. It improves longevity, quality of life, and overall health. Menopausal sex without the fear of pregnancy, the mess of the monthly cycle, or young children knocking at the bedroom door can be a spontaneous and joyful part of the second half of life.
Don't let anyone tell you that "Menopause will take your libido away."

Everyone knows him as Raf.
Everyone also knows him as the guy calling college basketball games on ESPN.
So something will be different for Bill Raftery this week, when he opens his 33yrd season as a broadcaster on an entirely new network, Fox Sports 1, assigned principally to a new league with an old brand name. Fox teamed him with a new partner, electrifying play-by-play voice Gus Johnson.
Raf's first game with Fox will take him back to his old Big East roots, with Boston College (of the new ACC) taking on Providence (of the new Big East) at 6 p.m. ET Friday. On New Year's Eve, he'll call an intriguing doubleheader to open the Big East season: St. John's at Xavier at noon, Villanova at Butler at 7:30 p.m.
Raftery's distinctive style has made him a fan favorite throughout his three-plus decades at the mike with ESPN (and with CBS during the NCAAs), from his trademark "man-to-man!" opener to his "onions!" exclamation if a player hits a big shot. But Raftery is a shrewd, insightful analyst whose self-deprecating references to his time as Seton Hall coach can't hide his expansive knowledge of the game.
Sporting News talked to him by telephone as he prepared for the coming season.
SN: Obviously, Fox Sports 1 has gone all-in on the Big East, so let's talk about where you think the league is headed. How much of a force can the conference be in this sport without football involved and more or less "advertising" the league from September on?
Raftery: It reminds me so much of when the whole deal started, with the exception of they've got a little bundle of cash. David (Gavitt) in his wildest dreams in 1979 … He thought there was a chance to market and impress the country, but it wasn't much of a package.
It's imperative, I think, to impress the country again. November and December, their intersectional games, particularly in the first couple years—it'll impress people if they're able to compete and win big games.
SN: It's a different league now, with teams in the Midwest such as Butler, Xavier, Creighton and Marquette. Can the league still command the attention of high school prospects on the Eastern seaboard?
Raftery: The name is part of it. It was big for them in terms of image and recruiting, along with the Garden. Even with DePaul struggling a little bit, Marquette's still very good. It hasn't hampered them at all to be out there with the Big East name. Butler is doing nicely with some kids. I think the name itself sort of stands alone. Kids are more interested in style of play, exposure, competition and hopefully that's what the league will stand for.
SN: How important is it for the Big East to keep Madison Square Garden as the home of the tournament?
Raftery: I think it really helps. It's just always been a great week, reminiscent of when I was a kid and the ACC Tournament became such an important date on the calendar of basketball nuts.
An important thing for the league, too, is there are a lot of even teams. With them playing twice, getting a shot at a third time and that being in the Garden—I think that will be very inviting to the teams involved.
SN: Are you pleased to see the return of the double round-robin format? Would you be opposed to expansion in order to preserve it?
Raftery: With 16 teams, you might not have played a guy for a couple of years. We've all seen that in football, where a team might make the Rose Bowl from the Big Ten without playing Michigan or Ohio State. I think this is a great situation for these teams, as they gain confidence.
In other leagues, it suffers in terms of that evenness of competition. But I wouldn't be opposed to an expansion if it made sense, if there is a team that would be representative or have the philosophy of these other teams. There's a lot of good programs out there. Right now, I don't feel or hear anything at all. Nobody seems to have that interest as we speak.
SN: What new Big East matchup are you most excited about seeing?
Raftery: I'm excited about them playing everybody. Just to see how playing Wednesday/Saturday, Wednesday/Saturday—you have to play teams that are pretty darned good—how will they stack up? Having done some work with Creighton I've been very impressed with their talent. Xavier, having seen them practice and they've done so well for so long in the Atlantic 10, dominated the league for so many years, it will be interesting to see how they do in this league.
And that leaves Butler. I found going to their practice, it was like going to Brad's practice—the same procedures, setup, philosophy, defensive strength. The Roosevelt Jones kid being injured really hurts, and Brandon (Miller) has to find out what he wants to do at the point guard position.
I'll be curious to see them banging heads night-in/night-out and see how all three respond.
SN: With the exception of St. John's NCAA trip in 2011, it's been a while since the teams in the New York metro area were big factors in the league. Do you see that changing soon?
Raftery: Seton Hall is a good example of exactly what you're saying. (Kevin Willard is) having a knockout recruiting year; I think the change in the league has helped them quite a bit. A 'This league is here to stay' type of thing. I think it's given teams a lot of confidence. Ten is a lot less than 16, and it's certainly a lot less without UConn, Louisville, Syracuse.
In the early 80s, we were thinking Providence and Seton Hall would never make the Final Four, and then Rick did it in '87 at Providence and P.J. had Seton Hall in there two years later.
I think everybody has to feel, 'If we get some good kids, we can be a presence as well.'
SN: What about St. Johns? You've watched them since Steve Lavin took over, the progress in recruiting and the setback when he was ill.
Raftery: To me, they could win it all in the league. I just think there are so many key things: Defensively, getting these talented kids to get after it. (D'Angelo) Harrison's attitude, which has been good so far; Rysheed Jordan, everyone says he's been the real deal running the team.
If they can guard—they've got size and they've got backcourt play—they could be terrific. They're good, it's just a matter of a mindset at this point. Steve is healthy and looks much better. He's got the old spunk back.
SN: Will there be any noticeable difference with you broadcasting on Fox after all these years on ESPN?
Raftery: It's interesting, all these companies now, they're a crossbreed of people from all walks of life. Some of the people there obviously started at Fox, but there's ESPN guys, there's CBS guys.
The idea of really doing the best job you can no matter where you go prevails.
ESPN was so good to me, and I just loved our team. Jay (Bilas) and Sean (McDonough) and the producers and the team. That was the hardest part. Usually if you're leaving someplace, they're upset with you or you're upset with them. I didn't even think of this, but Fox expressed an interest, and the more I thought about it, I was there at the beginning of the Big East and maybe, for me, the end will be there as well.

Some Christians in the U.S. are marking the time of Lent with a different sort of sacrifice.
They're cutting back on their energy consumption as a sort of carbon fast.
One North Carolina family is raising chickens and collecting rain water for their garden.
Others at their church are taking showers instead of baths or cutting back on flights for business.
Many say it's part of a trend by churches to serve God by helping the planet.
"Lent is a traditional time when we talk about reducing," said Pastor Richard Edens of United Church of Chapel Hill. "We talk about reducing things in our life, so we might experience the moreness of life."
Claudia Sheppard agrees.
"I feel like I'm making a bigger difference, not just for me, but also for the world," she said.
Some participants have already cut their energy bill by 25 percent.

With exactly a month to go before Christmas, the holiday season is off to a rollicking start.
Malls, shopping centers and individual stores appear to be doing brisk business as Mauians rush out to scoop up Black Friday and early-season specials.
For a few days, we have shaken off the specter of "fiscal cliffs" and lives without Twinkies to go out and give some thought to our families' Christmas presents. Certainly after a grueling, negative election campaign, the holidays are a chance to reflect on what a wonderful island, state and country we live in. Somehow, those elements of our lives were forgotten during all the electoral attacks.
In short, the holidays are a time to feel good about ourselves again. Forget what the political spinsters told us for months on end - we are the most fortunate people on Earth.
During the next few weeks, an old favorite will remind us that "It's A Wonderful Life." We'll all watch the television as Angel Second Class Clarence earns his wings showing George Bailey that "no man is a failure who has friends."
Children's dreams about the miracle of Santa Claus and owning a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun will entertain a new audience and remind an old one of the joys of innocence.
And, of course, the religious nature of the season will teach all of us - again - that we should work year round for peace on Earth, good will toward men.
The holiday season is a psychological lifeline, a revitalizer of the spirit. As such, it truly is (as Andy Williams used to sing) the most wonderful time of the year.

Product DescriptionThe Model 1892 is considered by many to be the smoothest, most compact, handiest, and most beautiful lever action ever offered by Winchester. It is much like a compact or carbine model of the famous 1886 and has the same dual, vertical locking system for impressive strength. It is famous for its light weight, low recoil and responsive, easy handling. The Cimarron Model 1892 rifle is manufactured on John Browning's patents of 1884, the same patents covering the earlier and larger model 1886 rifle. This lever-action rifle features a post front sight with an adjustable rear sight. Its wood is in good condition and its metal and bore are in very good condition.

But Rubio, selected by the party to deliver its response to President Obama's State of the Union address this month, received mixed reviews from voters following his nationally televised speech.
A new poll released today shows that, among Americans who have an opinion about Rubio, more have a negative view of him than positive.
Pew Research Center found that 26 percent of U.S. adults have a favorable opinion of Rubio, versus 29 percent who have an unfavorable opinion.
The poll was conducted Feb. 14-17, following Rubio's rebuttal speech. Nearly half of those polled either hadn't heard of Rubio or held no opinion of him.
"Rubio has a strong image among Republicans and receives particularly high ratings among those who agree with the Tea Party," Pew said.
Among Republicans who agree with the Tea Party, 70 percent said they view Rubio favorably compared with just 7 percent who view him unfavorably, according to Pew. Among Republicans who do not agree with the Tea Party, 31 percent said they view Rubio favorably and 25 percent view him unfavorably.
Here's a snapshot of Pew's polling results, which carry a 3.7 percent margin of error for all Americans, a 7.3 percent margin of error for Republicans and a 6.6 percent margin of error for independents, or click here for the full results:

-- For the second straight day, Miguel Cabrera has been tabbed the Tigers' designated hitter. Cabrera is coming off an impressive offensive display Monday in which he went 4 for 5 with a pair of home runs and three RBIs in Cleveland.
-- Cabrera, who is 3 for 12 with a homer in his career against Indians starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco, is batting .423 with three home runs, seven doubles and 10 RBIs in 13 games against the Indians this year.
-- The Tigers are 6-7 against the Indians this year, but are riding a four-game winning streak on the road. They trail the division-leading Royals by a half-game and own a 1 1/2-game lead over Seattle for the second wild card spot in the AL.
-- Prior to today's game, the Tigers recalled the contracts of left-handers Kyle Lobstein, Robbie Ray and Kyle Ryan and right-hander Buck Farmer from Triple-A Toledo. Lobstein will start tonight's contest at Cleveland.
-- Lobstein will be making his second career major league start. He gave up two runs on four hits with one walk in six innings last Thursday against the New York Yankees. Tonight will mark his first career start on the road.
-- The Indians have activated former Tigers utility player Ryan Raburn from the 15-day disabled list prior to today's game. Raburn, who missed the past two weeks with a sore wrist, will bat DH and hit seventh for the Indians.
-- Carrasco has looked strong since rejoining Cleveland's rotation on Aug. 10. He has a 0.73 ERA with a 24-to-3 strikeout-to-walk ratio spanning 24 2/3 innings in his last four starts.
-- The forecast for Cleveland calls for decreasing cloudiness with temperatures reaching the mid 70s degrees. The tarp was placed on the field at Progressive Field around 3:30 p.m. Rain was expected to fall around 4 p.m.

By KATHRYN NIEVES
For The Express-Times
Hackettstown officials and Centenary College are discussing who will maintain the new street lights planned for Church Street, according to the town's engineer.
Engineer Paul Sterbenz also reported Thursday that demolition has begun on the vacant Bergen Tool property.
After receiving an $800,000 grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation, Centenary officials decided to improve the sidewalks and streetscape along Church Street, which connects the college to Main Street. The Hackettstown Free Public Library, on Church Street, also donated $10,000 to the project.
Library officials hope the money will alleviate drainage issues associated with the street.
The sidewalks along Church Street are broken and uneven, so the project's first phase will be to reconstruct the sidewalks. The state requested that the redesign of the curbs and sidewalks include as much of the already existing slate panels as possible.
Other safety features include installing additional street lights. The 16-foot lights will better illuminate Church Street, but their decorative style will be similar to the fixtures found on both sides of Main Street.
Sterbenz said there are ongoing discussions between the college and town regarding electricity and maintenance payments for the new street lights. Mayor Maria DiGiovanni said she's confident the college and town can soon reach an agreement.
If an agreement is not reached on sharing the costs of the lights, Centenary plans on using the remainder of the grant money to repave portions of Church Street, according to the engineer.
As for the Bergen Machine & Tool building, the developer has begun demolition of the front of the century-old building to make way for a CVS pharmacy. The project will include the roughly 14,000-square-foot store, off-street parking and 3 acres of open space for the community.
Sterbenz told council the developer must modify the traffic lights on Stiger Street to accompany a new entrance to the property off Main Street. State permits for the Stiger Street reconstruction are in discussion and must be approved before the developer can move forward with phase two of the project, he said.

Skip to comments.Travis McGee's Book In Third Printing
Posted on 09/13/2004 3:37:07 PM PDT by Travis McGee
Today, on the day the so-called Assault Weapons Ban has passed into history, I thought I'd mention that my Second Amendment novel "Enemies Foreign And Domestic" has just gone into its third printing. The first 3,000 copies have sold out in the past year, and I'm publishing another 2,000 copies. Thanks to all of the freepers who have helped to make the book an internet cult hit!
And I'd also like to mention that with the radical left in complete hysteria over the prospects of a second Bush term, the chances of an arranged "assault rifle massacre" before the election are greater than ever. With the sunset of the AWB all over the national news today, it must be crossing radical minds that a well-timed "assault rifle massacre" could be blamed on President Bush "allowing" the sale of semi-auto rifles.
Congratulations, Travis!!
Shoot! That reminds me I need to order one. I'm settled in in the new place now. Will write offline.
Congratulations, Trav!
Congratulations, but I want to see you on the NYT list one day.
Way to go Travis ping!
Bump. A great read, for anyone who hasn't read it yet.
It's a great book.
I have the hardest time getting my copy back from those I lend it to.
Isn't there a second book in the works?
woohoo! wtg Matt
eagerly awaiting the follow-up too
Cool Travis! I might buy another copy or two for gifts.
BTW, don't be surprised to see major publishers sniffing around. You have one thing that many of their authors do not have: an audience.
I'm looking for the second volume! ;-)
I loved this book. I saw it advertised in Small Arms Review and bought it. It was great. My wife is now reading it and she is loving it too.
Congratulations! Good book, I need to order more!
Stay the course, Travis. And work on your next book.
BUMP for an excellent novel, and it's author, a true patriot.
I got your back, Bro. Anytime. Anywhere.
Two thumbs up!
Go for 10K! That's my present goal with my own series. But that's a goal with five books...you can do it with one!
Onward and upward from there!
All of us conservative/constitutional self-publishers have to stick together.
About time you got some more from the printer. ;>)
I ordered from Amazon to get you on the "list" and had to wait too dang long.
Tell all of us what purchase outlet affords you the best exposure so that you can get the widest attention to open up the big market for you.
Good work, but get someone else to proofread after running spellczech.
Stay well, safe and armed.
Dittos for you, Jeff.
WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOO Travis!
Forgot to mention the WOOO-HOOO is from the 2nd Amendment Coordinator of the Alan Keyes for Senate 2004 Campaign!
I just released the eBook version of Volume V. Tradepaperback will be out there in a week to ten days. Just waiting for the final proof from the printer/distributor.

Congrats Travis, I've seen it advertised in acouple gun mags.
Yo Snake! I liked everything about your second book better than the first except the cover art. (probably cause I'm an old fart and the heroes looked young) :)
Highly recommended, in the company of RW White and JR MacDonald.
Congrats bump and email.
For anyone who hasn't read this book, I suggest you get it ASAP.
Second Amendment Sisters is very proud to offer this book for sale on our web site. I think you can get a copy from there very quickly.
Congratulations on the book. . . and your work on exposing the fake SEAL.
It wouldn't surprise me if they already have a more wide-sweeping ban already written and waiting in the wings for it's 'co-incidental' cue, ala Clinton and the anti-militia garbage after OKC.
Congrats on the third printing!
You have done us all mighty proud.
You and me both!
I'm working on the sequel now, "Domestic Enemies." It's set five years after EFAD in an "Aztlanized" Southwest, during a period of economic collapse and ethnic violence.
Can't wait!
Why? FR is the place to be recognized.
True, but I just love it when the NYT has to admit that something other than liberal pap can sell.
I can't WAIT to get my copy!!! Sounds scary - - - and a very possible scenario.
BTW, how is the second book coming?
Outstanding !!!
Got it on audio yet?
Congrats...I'm thinking of buying a few more to celebrate the end of the AWB...then passing them out to friends.
Congrats...I bought my copy months ago & loved it!!!
I have considered loaning it out, but books never get returned.
I suppose I could just buy another copy if that happens.
Now I'm ready to snuggle up with this book, my hi cap magazines, an extra loud "noisemaker" and all!
Way to go Travis!

George Galloway deported from Egypt
MP George Galloway has been deported from Egypt after attempting to enter Gaza.
The Respect MP tried to cross the border into Gaza after members of the Viva Palestina convoy were arrested there.
He and collegue Ron McKay arrived at the Rafah border crossing which goes from Gaza into Egypt.
The two men were driven away and placed on a plane back to London by plain-clothed Egyptian police, a Viva Palestina convoy spokeswoman said.
She added: "As soon as they emerged on to Egyptian soil, both men were forcibly pushed into a van, refused exit and told that they were leaving the country. They were then driven off in a police convoy."
Mr Galloway was in the region leading an aid convoy of trucks to Gaza. Clashes between Egyptian police and the activists have been occuring since the convoy arrived earlier this week.
Several Palestinians have been hurt in the protests and an Egyptian policeman has been killed. Seven of the activists were arrested but then released without further charges.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Music and funding rights have been secured for a movie based on former Beatles manager Brian Epstein, whom Paul McCartney called the 'Fifth Beatle' (probably much to ex-drummer Pete Best's dismay).
In an unprecedented move, Vivack Tiwary ('American Idiot,' 'The Addams Family') will be able to use six to 10 Beatles songs in the upcoming film. lockquote> I have signed and fully executed a deal with Sony/ATV, who control the Lennon/McCartney music catalog, and I'm proud to report we will have Beatles music in our film," Tiwary told The Hollywood Reporter. The Beatles (and the bandmembers' survivors' estates) have not endorsed The Fifth Beatle, but a source says reps have signed off on the script and enabled music rights to be used.
We have the ironclad rights [or] ability to use the following songs, with the option to 'swap out' later for other songs if we decide to change the list: 'All You Need Is Love,' 'You've Got to Hide Your Love Away,' 'A Day in the Life,' 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,' 'Yesterday,' 'Eleanor Rigby,' 'Help!' 'You Never Give Me Your Money,' 'Girl,' 'A Hard Day's Night,' 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Come Together'. Epstein, a man often credited with helping the Beatles skyrocket to success, was a closeted gay man when it was illegal in the U.K. He died of an overdose in 1967, a month after homosexuality was legalized.
Plot points that would be interesting to see in the film are his brilliant managerial mind, his depression and repression and his will-they-won't-they relationship with Beatle John Lennon. It has been long speculated that Lennon and Epstein were romantically involved. They've got the rights to "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," the song some people think Lennon wrote for Epstein. Is the 'Fifth Beatle' going to go there?

How Obama Could Counter Critics of His Foreign Policy
The administration's attempt to use speeches to avoid being defined by domestic opponents and world events was overtaken by a rapid succession of stories and fierce criticism at home, including the furor over the deal with the Taliban to release Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and the Islamist terrorist blitzkrieg across Iraq.
By mid-June, Americans gave Barack Obama the lowest foreign-policy ratings of his presidency: only 37% approve, with 57% disapproving. Though foreign policy was once a perceived strong suit, President Obama's rating is as low as President George W. Bush's was in mid-2006, the summer of discontent with Mr. Bush's Iraq policy.
This state of affairs is unfortunate–but reparable.

I've read reviews off and on that dog this movie. I wonder sometimes if
the people that dislike this movie so much, dislike the horror genre.
If I were to rate a musical, I would probably give it a low score
This movie is not perfect, but because the horror in it is done well enough, it is worthwhile to suspend some disbelief to go along with the ride. This isn't a PG-13 teen scare. People tote the term "torture-porn" I think because the killing is done is such an unapologetic, organized fashion. Every kill is planned and gruesome. In the horror genre, what actually is wrong with that?
While Rob Zombie and others are destroying monsters (Zombie basically killed the icon of Michael Myers) by humanizing them too much, it is refreshing to have a new killer killing for killing-sake. Isn't that worth a ride (assuming you are into horror)?
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The Collector is a film that is somewhat hurt by its own hype. It's
written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (who also directs), the
writing team who penned the last three Saw films (including part VI).
News broke right before its release that the film was almost a prequel
to Saw. In the horror community, being a part of the Saw franchise is a
rather large achievement. Even if you're not a fan of the franchise,
it's hard to deny how well the Saw films do at the box office as their
gross revenue is sometimes up to ten times what the film's budget was.
The down side is that The Collector seems to make this point blatantly
obvious. The film gives off a sense of deja vu throughout its entire
duration. The Collector's traps are very reminiscent of Jigsaw's traps,
at least in the way they're set up (reverse bear trap in Saw compared
to the bear trap scene in The Collector). The Collector also looks and
feels like a Saw film. The quick edits that a lot of people expressed
their dislike for in Saw are used more often than not in The Collector.
Grainy and high contrast filters along with those quick edits make it a
bit hard to distinguish what events are actually occurring on screen at
times. The first ten minutes or so of the film feel like an extended
music video. These qualities don't necessarily make the film bad, but a
film that's advertised as being original shouldn't have so much in
common with a well distinguished franchise in the same genre; let alone
when some of the same people are involved. Something that may have been
easily averted if the marketing campaign didn't throw that fact in the
public's face.
With all that being said, the film still has enough originality going for it to bring in horror fans. While the film does have its flaws (the main one being, how'd The Collector have time to set up all these traps?), they actually don't take away from the overall enjoyment for the film. What The Collector collects is rather interesting and even with its similarities to Saw, it's an original horror film that isn't a remake. Something we don't see a lot of anymore. What also might make or break the deal for horror fans seeing this film is that it doesn't shy away from blood and guts. The bear trap sequence alone is rather gruesome, but you do get to see some intestines make a cameo. So this definitely isn't for the squeamish. The film did leave a few open-ended questions, but they don't seem to be negative. The most memorable one is more of a sense of wondering why a certain character did a certain act rather than it being a glaring mistake. If this gets turned into a franchise (which depending on its reception, it just might), we'll probably get answers in the sequel(s). The Collector also seemed to establish a bit of tension at times, while the closing moments of the film were similar to a seesaw. The events that unfold seem to be going in one direction, but then quickly shift and go in another direction.
TV spots are saying things like, "Horror has a new icon," and that The Collector is the best horror film to come out in years. While the latter could be debated, the first part of that statement could very well be true. I, personally, wouldn't mind seeing more of The Collector as I like the idea and the character. The film as a whole, however, may have let its influences shine brighter than its original aspects. In retrospect, The Collector is an entertaining horror film composed of a decent antagonist, standard acting, an original storyline, and a few buckets of gore.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Arkin is an ex-con turned handyman who cases the houses that he works
on. When his wife needs money to pay off some dangerous loan sharks, he
decides to break into the house that he's currently fixing up, that of
the wealthy Chase family, ahead of schedule. The family is all set to
go on a vacation, so he figures it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
When he hits the house late at night, everything seems normal aside
from a suspicious guard dog leashed in the front yard. Arkin shrugs it
off and goes for the safe, but while attempting to crack the
combination, he hears someone moving about in the house. You see, Arkin
isn't the only intruder on the property. A sadistic madman has beaten
him to the punch, only he isn't interested in collecting gemstones.
He's interested in collecting people that he deems worthy, and those
that he doesn't will meet a most unpleasant end.
Going into this film on the weekend of it's theatrical release, at the very least I had hoped for a pleasant diversion. It had certainly caught my eye, but the director's connection with the atrocious Saw franchise gave me reservations. Fortunately, not only did I have nothing to worry about, but seeing it wound up being the best time I had in a theater last year. What transpires for the majority of the film's running time is a tense game of cat and mouse between Arkin and the collector. You can tell that the latter suspects someone else is running around the house, but Arkin manages to avoid him while trying to rescue the family in the process. In fact, the collector never would have known about Arkin, as he was out of the house without ever having been spotted. That damn kid!
Marcus Dunstan and his crew really did a lot with the budget they had. The film has a unique look and sound design. The look is a large part of what drew me to the film in the first place back when the TV spots were airing. Solid use of music as well. It's fierce, it's visceral and it's nasty, but the atmosphere created here is what sets the thing apart from others. That and the collector himself, a wicked villain who goes after his victims with an intensity that I found refreshing. No slow slasher walk here. The eyes were a nice touch too, reflective like those of an animal.
The security system from Hell is an intriguing twist on your typical home invasion setup. It certainly makes for some unique situations. There's a different trap around every corner, so no running at full blast to make an escape and you had better watch where you fall. The boyfriend's fate is the film's best set piece, almost Grand Guignol in it's execution. There's also one demise that can best be described as human flypaper.
There are some suspension of disbelief flaws in there, but I enjoyed the ride too much to really mind in this case. It's a mean horror film that is strong on mood and takes itself seriously. Hard to believe it's from the guys behind various Saw movies, as I can't stand any of those.

If you're tired of all of the watered down PG-13 so-called "horror"
movies of late and if the thought of sitting through one more remake
(or "re-imagining" as the studios have dubbed them) makes you want to
tear your hair out then The Collector will be a welcome respite. Yes,
there are similarities to Saw and Hostel and yes some will deride this
flick as being nothing more than the latest entry into the "torture
porn" genre but if you're a horror fan and you let those things deter
you from experiencing this film on the big screen then you're going to
miss out on a truly enjoyable evening at the movies.
Full disclosure: I LOVED the original Saw and have at least liked all of the sequels. I wasn't a big fan of the original Hostel and there have been several other so-called "torture" flicks that have elicited no response from me other than a big yawn. The writers/directors of The Collector were involved in the creation of Saw 4-6 but I think that they've done a much better job with this movie.
Don't go into this flick expecting a complete retread of Saw because you're not going to get it. Sure, there's a killer who utilizes a form of traps to kill people but his methods are different. First off, he gets his own hands dirty, unlike Jigsaw, who sits back and watches from a distance. Second, redemption apparently doesn't matter to him. The major difference between The Collector and Jigsaw is that Jigsaw gives people a chance to save themselves. The Collector doesn't want you to live... unless you're the one that he's chosen to collect (see tag line, "He always takes one").
This film has a basic plot but it's in its simplicity that it excels. There are no convoluted layers to see past (or to laugh at, as is so often the case) and the basic setup doesn't try to be anything fancy. You'll learn everything that you need to know about the main characters within the first 15 minutes and then you can just sit back and watch everything unfold.
The camera work is excellent and the film comes across as extremely dark, discordant and claustrophobic. The soundtrack is perfectly in tune with the feel of the movie and really heightens the timing of each of the scares.
By now I'm sure that you've heard that the film is very bloody and that's an understatement. There is nothing contained within the trailers that will prepare you for what you're going to see on the big screen. The film made everyone in the audience be they young, old, male or female, gasp at least once.
If you're into gore I highly recommend that you see this film and make sure that you stay until the end of the credits.
I saw this film yesterday with two of my friends.It was this or Funny People but I've lost faith in Adam Sandler since "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" And none of us wanted to watch Harry Potter so walking in to the The Collector it was fifty fifty that it was going to be any good considering it's from the writers of the last couple of Saw movies. But I was surprised at how great it was. The setup was quick the violence is gory and there was some scary disturbing moments plus the last couple of minutes were really intense. And The Collector puts Jigsaw,Jason,and Freddy to shame at least in my opinion.Plus this was way better than the amazingly crappy Transformers 2.
I have seen all the big summer blockbusters and I have to say they were good some even great but I've grown a little old on all the CGI. The Collector yes it does take away from SAW and HOSTLE but in its on way is worth a viewing. Yes the story has many plot holes and it leaves you guessing on why and how but if your a big gore and horror fan then this is the movie to see. It holds nothing back in form of gore and torture. Cheaply done and yet very well executed. No big name actors or big budget effects. In my opinion its what has been missing this summer. I would like the second part as in SAW 2 to answer all of the questions that this movie left us guessing. I look forward to seeing The Collector character again!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
for horror movie fans, 'The Collector' has everything you would want
and nothing you expect. From the writers of 'Saw 4-6' comes a new
chapter in America's love affair with the sub-genre known as "torture
porn". To me it plays more like an R-rated 'Home Alone'. You know, if
Macauley Culkin's traps were made VERY effective.
I was expecting a standard horror/slasher flick when taking my seat and was pleasantly surprised. the opening credits mix somewhere between the opening sequence of 'Se7en' and a Tool music video, sets up perfectly the mood in which you will spend the next hour and a half. confused but intrigued. freaked out but with a big grin on your face. there is plenty of gore for fans but not nearly as much as one would expect from graduates of the Saw school of horror. whilst our "hero" sneaks amongst the booby-trapped household trying not to set up a carpet of steel bear traps (awesome!) or tripwires connected to swinging blades of death (also nice), perhaps the creepiest thing in the movie is the way in which the director (sparingly) uses the killer. We rarely actually see him acting out his brutality upon his victims. But when crouched in a corner, watching two hot young teens do what they do best, and the light reflects off of the corneas of his dead eyes hidden behind that odd silk mask... yeesh! Another pleasant surprise to the film is it's use of quiet, a rarity in horror movies (especially torture porn). Most of the film's action is in hiding which means the protagonist must avoid detection at all times. There were screams in the theater, but about 89% of those were coming from the audience.
I would definitely recommend this to a movie fan with a strong gut and a healthy sense of "what's going to be behind Door #3?" curiosity. Bonus points for being the fist movie to actually visualize the classic childhood game of "Can't-Touch-the-Floor-Because-the-Floor-is-Hot-Lava" well played
As the story of the Collector unfolds, it quickly becomes obvious that
writer/director Marcus Dunstan is knowledgeable when it comes to the
horror genre and knows what makes people click.
First, there is a 70s/80s feel to this movie. From the dirty-ish cinematography to the pacing, editing and the casting choices, a lot of this reminds me of the less polished horror films of these decades.
One of the aspects where this movie shines is with its protagonist Arkin. A down-on-his- luck handyman struggling to pay his bills. Josh Stewart was a revelation for me in this role. I can't wait to see what the future has in store for this actor. Is he a one-note actor who was perfectly cast or is this some serious talent? I for one would lean toward the latter. Stewart is perfect in making us feel Arkin is a decent guy with a will of is own but just suffers from a total lack of respect by the people around him. He oozes charisma despite the "loser" role he has to work with and reminds me a little bit of Sean Penn. What makes the film effective is really exploring the character of Arkin early on. There is a simple situation driving this man to do what he is about to do and we can relate to him.
Unfortunately, the movie begins to lose steam when Arkin gets inside the house. At first, the traps and situations are intriguing. But character and story development halts to a crawl. Who is the collector and what is the meaning of this collection? We don't really know and Dunstan doesn't seem to care in the least. Themes explored throughout the movies? Again, doesn't seem very relevant.
As the story progresses, the traps become the star of the film and the whole thing seems more and more far-fetched. What should be the meat around the bone becomes the entire movie. The concept seems more like the latest horror gimmick. It's a somewhat interesting and entertaining one but one must deplore all the character development of Arkin if the rest of the movie was really just about mindless fun.
All in all, this is a solid movie reminiscent of the trashy, dirty 70s and early 80s horror flicks. But it seems to be lacking in themes and symbolism that made those movies so great and I sensed the writing lost its purpose mid-way. I also deplore what I sense like a desperate attempt to build a franchise, as opposed to make a great movie. The movie seems like a setup for sequels, a TV series pilot more than a single work of art to be enjoyed.
The movie deserves a 5.5 and is relatively well-done. If this review seems harsh, it's just that the first half hour or so lets you think the movie will be much more powerful than it actually ends up being.
Very curious to see if a sequel will be done for this one.
I've been a fool. I tried watching this a few years ago, and couldn't
finish it. That inkling to give it another go just wouldn't go away.
Well. Guess what? Not only did I watch the whole movie, but I wound up
digging it for the most part! The comparisons to the Saw franchise are
apt, I suppose. But the Saw series started to become redundant. The
Collector is much more than just another cash-in attempt to make some
coin. Director Marcus Dunstain clearly had a vision with this one. The
killer in this one is not someone that asks questions. Jigsaw was a
nasty individual as well, but he had a motive for doing what he was
doing, a reason if you will. The Collector (Creepily played by Juan
Fernandez) just likes to hurt people. He's gleefully psychotic and
kills people in the most sickening ways imaginable for his own demented
pleasures. There is no background on this guy, and that makes him all
the more terrifying. In some ways that could have worked against it,
but I didn't feel it was needed here, and added to the atmosphere. The
gore scenes deliver. I won't spoil them, but gore hounds will be
replenished for their thirst. My only real carps are I wish the finale
went on a tad longer, and that is was hard to make out what was going
in a couple scenes because I had trouble seeing. It was a bit too dark.
William Prael plays for a very good reluctant hero. His desperation had
me rooting for him. I enjoyed him a lot
Final Thoughts: Sometimes a second viewing does wonders. It sure did with the Collector. It's not perfect, but it's a highly suspenseful thrill ride that lacks the budget of a Saw, but is arguably better than a lot of the Saw sequels. Recommended. I'm looking forward to The Collection!
The movie has a very strong beginning. But when you get to the end (or
maybe even very early on into the movie), you will realize that there
are quite a few flaws in this movie. There might some elaborate ideas
involved, but you can't help but wonder why? Especially because there
are just so many easier ways to get what you need. On the other hand
you could also say, that there might be no way, that someone who is
crazy can know that.
Of course this is a horror movie (the tag on the cover/poster should be a giveaway) and so you will have quite a few bloody scenes in the movie (I think it is not yet available, completely uncut in Germany), so you should know that this is not so much a psychological movie (a bit too), but more a movie about violence. Question is, do you really want to watch that? You could talk about an "overkill" of an idea, but that pun would be too easy. And in the end, it's not completely bad ... I just wished it had stayed with the strong beginning
