The phrase "Princess Diana" gave me a chill. I'm now expecting a blonde.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

I think we will go a little younger than the traditional idea of Wonder Woman
She'll be twelve.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha! I hadn't even noticed. Of course, the real Princess Diana is my wallpaper (issues 3, 5, 6, and 16 of the Perez reboot).

Uncertainty could be our guiding light.
This weekend I watched Steel Magnolias, which I'd never seen. It was pretty much what I expected (i.e., schlocky and a little annoying), but I LOVED Olympia Dukakis and Shirley Maclaine. Very funny, those two.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
For the two or three Buffistas who will appreciate this (hayden being one), I was just listening to the commentary track on ALFREDO GARCIA and they were talking about how Sam Peckinpah had two actors in the back of his head to play Benny....Warren Oates (natch) and...PETER FALK!
Bad-ass. I actually can't imagine anyone other than Oates in that role, but Falk would've brought the Cassavetes-style intensity.

I haven't posted here in ages!
I saw Steamboy over the weekend, and while the visuals are of course spectacular, the story reeeeallllly dragged. As FAQ Girl put it, the film outstayed its welcome.
Don't know if this has been posted yet: [link]

Art Crawl!!!
I watched "The Breed" this weekend.
Boy, bad, terrible, stinking, rotten are words that don't even come close to describing this movie.
Even the worst episode of Angel is miles better than this.
Also, saw a bit of "Anonymous Rex" on Scifi -- very silly.

That will only take the next five years.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
The Passion just shipped from Netflix.
I'm kinda looking forward to seing it.

Notice the common denominator though?

I saw Cursed this afternoon. Despite some goofy moments (the wolfed-out golden retriever, the completely assholish wrestler who instantly turned into Helpful Sensitive Guy when he came out) it was pretty clever and entertaining. Weirdly, Joshua Jackson looked like he was caught in the midst of a transformation into Wes Bentley, and the look was workin' for him. Rowwrrr.
