Ah, around the world and back again... that's the sailor's way.
Took a little time off from blogging to observe the Kick-Ass release, and see what effect it would have on the RLSH sub culture.
I saw Kick-Ass with Malvado SV for the first ever "non union" (yeah that's right we don't get dental) Super Villain Team up last month. It was very all cloak and dagger fun. We met at the place Malvado chose but the time I picked. I was slightly disappointed he was not a 800 pound Gorilla... but otherwise on to the show.
Kick-Ass was an exciting over the top movie that had very little to do with the RLSH, with the exceptions of silly costumes and MySpace. I hope in the directors cut they add Red Mist giving out Mountain Dew Code Red to homeless people. Maybe Hit Girl could sell cookies for the Girl Scouts and beat the ever living s#it out of people who don't buy them?
After effects on the sub culture would be around 60-85 new members that have popped up on the various online RLSH media outlets. Some on the the two main forums, many on MySpace and other smaller online venues. It is hard to keep exact count, as many change their name and gimmick week to week.
I expect after the release of DVD, movie channels, and frequent airings on the Soviet Central Television Network... every current online outlet will get a boost of membership.
