A group of merry pranksters (including the guy who played Biff in the Back to the Future movies) head off to an island mansion for April Fool's Day weekend. The pranks and practical jokes are all in good fun at first, but then people start disappearing. Is there a killer on the loose? Kinda, sorta, not really. April Fool's Day is a classic '80s slasher flick, despite being a bit tamer than other slasher movies that were released around the same time. The ending seems to piss some people off, but you shouldn't really be watching slasher movies if you're a stickler for plot and/or continuity. Rating: 75%

I remember seeing the poster for this movie at the video store in the 80's. I've never seen it though.
I read R3 for the plot and continuity: Viking Andrew, mail me my fucking DVD.
This movie is fine but the ending makes no sense at all. SPOILERS The twist ending is exactly what you would think.
As far as slasher movie endings go, it makes more sense than Happy Birthday to Me.
Later that night, a very inebriated Muffy returns to her bedroom for the night when she finds a package on her bed and upon opening it up finds a jack-in-the-box. As Muffy warily beings turning it to open, the jack jumps out when suddenly Nan jumps out behind the bed, grabs Muffy by the hair, gorily slices her throat, and Muffy screams. Nan smiles and shows Muffy the fake knife with the fake blood spraying from it, as a final back-at-you joke. "April Fools" says Nan to Muffy, as the jack-in-the-box winks at the viewers.
Best. Adverb. Ever.
hey you ugys remember when we used to look at new posts on r3
Been thinking of writing a review titled: "A Month of Boring Things: R3," but I figure it would just elicit the usual silent-snub-plus-subtle-accusation-of-Republican-sympathy that I get from the R3 gang whenever I cross the imaginary line of good bad taste and say something like, "Affirmative action breeds racism," or, "If you're homeless it's probably your own fault."
Quammy's a trooper, though, as is Glenn, in his own charmingly lazy way. I certainly can't accuse anyone of posting more infrequently than me.

I only post as often as I do due (doo doo) to the lingering guilt of not having posted anything on my own blog for the last year and a half. Blogger fatigue exists. It's just one celebrity endorsed PSA away from being a charitable cause or an internet meme.
is there a vaccination for blogger fatique
Yes. It consists of equal parts NASCAR, bare breasts, and flaming skulls.
