Doom Generation

Steven M Kovacs (that slut, Matthew Broderick) is going through a hard time. He's recently moved out of the apartment he shared with longtime girlfriend, Robin (Leslie Mann) and has moved into a new place. Naturally he needs his utilities hooked up so buddy, Rick (Jack Black) suggests to bribe an extra 50 bones to get free cable. Enter The Cable Guy (Jim Carrey) who infiltrates Steven's life in a way that he finds nearly impossible to explain and almost destroys his life. A Ben Stiller joint that features almost the entire cast of his show (Janeane Garafalo, Bob Odenkirk, that Dick Andy along with David Cross, Kathy Griffin and Kyle Gass) that teaches us all to maybe be a little more careful of the people we trust with our information superhighways. The Cable Guy, this week on Doom Generation.

Wes Craven once heard a story about people who avoided sleep for fear of dying in their nightmares; along with a childhood bully and a step-father, it inspired him to create an iconic character who's haunted us all for 40 years.

Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund), child murderer, comes to thin lipped Tina (Amanda Wyss) with his wet face and knife glove in her nightmares, scaring her so badly she warns best friend, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) who's had the same dream. Not wanting to be alone, Tina has a spend-over with Nancy, her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp), Tina's rough boyfriend, Rod (Jsu Garcia) shows up uninvited and she ends up slashed to death after a night of a pretty okay weinering. Rod is arrested by Nancy's father, Lt. Thompson (John Saxon). Nancy's drunken orange mother, Marge (Roni Blakley) must now come to terms with her part in the vigilante justice that resulted in the death of Freddy, causing him to come back for his children in A Nightmare on Elm Street. A 40 year celebration, dedicated to the memory of Kathleen Garcia, the gal that started it all
