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!

Buh?

A sequel?

Buh?

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

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?

First review of Charlie and the Chocolate factory:

"It's absolutely fantastic, in every sense of the word. Burton's best film since Ed Wood...."

move out and draw fire

Buh? Hair? On Kevin Spacey?

This was my reaction.

In other sequel news, there's apparently going to be a second sequel to "I Know What You Did Last Summer." Also in the works are sequels to "Hollow Man" and/or "Road House." That last one still needs a writer.

I'm still cheesed that they moved IKWYDLS from its book setting of Albuquerque.

Hey. New board.

Sequel to Usual Suspects doesn't sound right to me. We'll see, though.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Next up: a sequel to Jaws! A sequel to Psycho! A sequel to The Day After, that nuclear-war apocalypse movie!!

Oh wait, two out of three of those have already happened.
