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.
Right. Piano. Because that's what we used to kill that big demon that one time. No, wait. That was a rocket launcher.

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.

I'm watching 2012 streaming on Netflix. It's. So. Bad. At least The Day After Tomorrow was HI-larious. 2012 is just painfully, stunningly, stupidly bad. I'm getting dumber by watching it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
At least John Cusack's in it... but if I had it to do over again I wouldn't watch the last half hour. That just made me angry.

For me, it's the presence of Amanda Peet and Chewital Ejiofor. I'm sure I just totally murdered his name.
But everybody sucks in this movie. Because everything everybody is given to do is SO STUPID!
