Take, for example, the upcoming John Cusack film The Raven. Edgar Allan Poe! Fights Crime! Nothing whatsoever to do with reality, it's going to be as anachronistic as all get out. But it's a Victorian-ish horror movie! With pretty costumes and ooooh spooky atmosphere! I can't wait. I will giggle delightedly all the way through.

Why have I not known about this movie before now?!? I must see this.

I am all over The Raven. That and the Daniel Radcliffe one, The Woman in Black.

Twin Peaks FAQ

Ah, thank you! I think I have run across that site before but never made it into the meatier parts of the FAQ.

The FAQ question about what happened to Josie amuses me -- namedropping ahead but Harley Peyton emailed me once (bananas!) because I'd made a joke about that, and he basically said that the writers were as bewildered by her end as the viewers.

Not that I claim to speak for all Shakespeare scholars, but I'm pretty sure they've been annoyed for years too.

Yes, this. Although that said I'm not offended by a film capitalizing on that concept.

We should write this. We're Buffistas -- if the Reddit folks can get a movie deal for basically fanficcing a Harry Turtledove novel, why can't we get a screenplay out of mashing up Jurassic Park and the Hindenburg?

Ah ha ha ha ha! Brilliant idea! But what would we call it? Velociraptors on an Airship just doesn't have the right ring to it.

Zeppelins and velociraptors.

Zeppelins, velociraptors, and Batman.

DH and I saw a fantastic movie last night - The Artist. It's a black & white silent film (mostly) about a silent film actor and an up-and-coming actress in the age of the talkie. Very much in the vein of Sunset Boulevard, Singing In The Rain, etc, and utterly utterly fabulous.

That looks great. That's the French actor who did the OSS spy spoof movies, right?
