move out and draw fire

ME Russell saw The Man with the Screaming Brain, Bruce Campbell's directorial debut:

So how’s “Screaming Brain”? Well, it’s really, really, really silly — basically what you’d expect from a no-budget “Sci-Fi Original Movie” starring Bruce Campbell. It’s a slapstick comedy about a millionaire who’s killed by a gorgeous gypsy, then has part of a Russian cab driver’s brain put in his head by a mad scientist played by Stacy Keach (!). Wacky chases, break-dancing robots and “All of Me”-style gags ensue.

Word has it, unofficial but from more or less reliable sources, that Liam Neeson has recorded dialogue to be the voice of Aslan.

Has anyone else heard a rumour that Justin Trousersnake is lined up for Harvey Dent? I'm hoping my source is mocking me.

No fucking way that'll happen.

I want to see break-dancing robots! Oh wait, Conky on Pee Wee's Playhouse probably counts.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I'm watching Dawn of the Dead, right now and while I love general creepiness and atmosphere and zombies, I'm realizing that I'm not over-fond of the whole 'tension, tension, tension BOOO!, tension tension, GAAHH! repeated ad nauseum' structure of a typical horror movie.

Plus, this flick is really fucking gory. Aeeiii. Good cast though.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Think happy thoughts about Shawn and his cricket bat, Vonnie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

From the NY Post:

KEVIN Spacey, who shaved his head for his role as villainous Lex Luthor in "Superman Returns," will have to grow it back in a hurry to star in the sequel to "The Usual Suspects." Bald as an egg in Sydney, Australia, Spacey told "Superman Returns" director Bryan Singer, who also helmed "The Usual Suspects," he'll co-star in the sequel to the 1995 caper flick. But the Sydney Daily Telegraph reports Spacey plans on doing some theater work while waiting for his hair to grow for the "Suspects" sequel.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

How do you even make a sequel to that film? How does it not automatically suck? The general public surely must demand at least the entire first act of the script posted online before it can be approved. Just... how?

Buh? Hair? On Kevin Spacey?
