That character name doesn't ring a bell. Was he in the book Breaking Dawn?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

One question, was The Other on the list of scary films?
No, but I think The Others was.
Any thoughts on Red? I mean Dame Hellen Mirren as a machine gun wielding bad-ass? The trailer may have won me over there. And Warren Ellis is somehow connected?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Warren Ellis wrote the comic it's based on.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
They showed the trailers for Red and The Expendables back to back at Inception. My gut responses were whee! and uggh, in that order.

No, but I think The Others was.
Huh, well, for some reason I was remembering The Other today and it was one of the scariest movies I saw when I was young.

I am excited about Red! It appears to be very different from the comic but the comic was basically just a fun bit of business and there is nothing in particular about it that I think needs to be held sacred. Ellis talked about the adaptation a bit here: [link] and concluded
I mean, if you don’t want to see a film with Helen Mirren with a sniper rifle, I’m not sure I want to know you.
(I am mildly excited about The Expendables but I think it is the kind of mild excitement that translates to me getting it from Netflix a year from now. Although: Statham. It may hinge on whether or not reviews indicate it reaches Doomsday levels of insanity.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The Expendables clips they showed at Comic-Con made me more excited than the trailers. They showed a fight scene that was just a ridiculous maelstrom of violence and also a scene where Statham is flying a plane over a dock full of baddies and he dumps fuel on them and then ignites it. Perhaps the movie is less boring than the trailers make it seem.
By the way, Strega, I tried to call you on Sunday because I was standing right next to Matt Fraction.
