Speaking of my Victorianish horror movie binge, watching From Hell always makes me want absinthe. And opium, but I'm not going to dabble in that.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Because books.
Oh, The Woman in Black! Absolutely psyched for that. And Dark Shadows, too, but I'm a little more leery about it simply because I was disappointed with Alice.

You and I are as one with this. But ... Tim Burton AND vampires? I am compelled to go.

I am compelled to go simply because it's DARK SHADOWS! I still remember watching it after school, up in my mom's room.
I totally want to do absinthe just the way Johnny Depp does in From Hell. In a bathtub like that.

Funnily enough, that is the scene that is on right now. Adding laudanum to your absinthe? That is hardcore.

I have never seen an episode of Dark Shadows. I pretty much stayed away from the horror genre entirely prior to watching Buffy. However, I just looked at the cast list on IMDB, and I will definitely be watching that movie.

Oh, I forgot the laudanum. I might, you know, skip that part. Depending on my day.
I love that movie so much, and it's really so bad. But it's so pretty to look at. And, you know, Johnny Depp being angsty and other and tortured.

I'm excited about:
The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists

I'm interested in these, but await reviews:
Prometheus
GI Joe: Retaliation (...listen, I'm not made of stone)
Skyfall
World War Z

I just checked and Tinker Tailor Soilder Spy is opening here tomorrow! I must drag TCG to see it this weekend.

I've drunk absinthe in a clawfoot tub, in that decadent hotel room I had for the Washington F2F.
Of course, that made my bloodstream absorb the alcohol twice as fast and I was sloppy drunk by the time I'd packed and gone down to the restaurant. When I left after lunch and saw the guy with a bear cub on a leash outside, it took a moment before I realized I wasn't hallucinating. (National Geographic had offices next door, and they were going to have a photo shoot.)
