(I haven't heard this rumor before. But OHPLEASE!!)
That was my reaction when I heard it. C'mon! Tim Burton! Johnny Depp! Vampires!
(When I was talking to Pete about it, he rolled his eyes and said "Oh god, all they need to add is a cameo by Gerard Way and you can die a happy Goth." I couldn't argue.)
Oh, Sean. And you were just regaining ground after the moldy rice in a tube incident.
Also, do I need to link to the picture of Hungarian Tube Food again? It's just my heritage.
For le nubian and Sean:
HAHA! We have come to conquer your planet. Bow down! Bow down before u... SHIT! MICHIGAN!
I too, enjoyed the monumentally stupid eco-porn that was The Day After Tomorrow. I mean, it had people running away from FROST. Comedy gold!
For MM and le nubian:
I can only presume that, like some landing craft at Normandy, the forces sent to invade Florida and Louisiana were lost instantly with all hands on board.
I can't figure any pattern in my Stupid, I Hate It/Stupid, But I Love It.
I mean...
I hated Signs for the aliens invading a water-filled planet when it turns out that they would die within nineteen seconds of landing so how, exactly, can we fear them as a superior invading race and, plus, the little girl just *happens* to have some compulsive need to put scads of fucking water all over the house *conveniently*?
But: I loved
Demolition Man
and
Judge Dredd.
It's just my heritage.
Next, you're going to be claiming that Michigan explains
Waterworld.
And MM's gonna thwomp yer ass for associating him with any such claim, which would have the benefit of getting him back to LA, which, okay, taunt withdrawn now that I think of it.
Unless MM likes
Waterworld
too.
Jilli, I read that Dark Shadows/Johnny Depp/Tim Burton rumor over at lj. . . sometime within the past few weeksk.
I haven't seen the film, but I assume the aliens in question arrived on the B Ark en route from Golgafrincham. It's the only logical explanation.
