Can one have a billysquee over a jillifont?
Hee. Almost certainly. Incidentally, I do have a fear reaction where spiders are concerned, but they're still incredible creatures. Snakes, on the other hand - zero fear, not even for the hissing tiger snake we almost stepped on. (Bec, OTOH, was seriously phobic about them, and was rather more demonstrative about the tiger snake encounter.) On which note, that's a lovely boa, JZ. That's actually the main point of distinction I think of between pythons and boas, that pythons are oviparous and boas ovoviviparous.
This is great if you've seen the original
Wicker Man.
(I haven't seen the remake, so dunno how this fits with that.)
A Muppet Wicker Man
Oh… um.
Wow. Yeah. So… this exists:
That’s the video preview for a full-length comic book mashup of The Muppet Show and The Wicker Man by Paul O’Connell.
It’s… uh…
Well, words seem to be failing at the moment.
Really, what can one say when confronted with something like this, except:
(Followed by a few awesome panels of the comic.)
Although maybe I just have a sick sense of humor.
The Amazing Spider-Man trailer! Okay, now I'm looking forward to this one.
I was unimpressed with the trailer, aside from the
crashing antenna-thingie
at the end. It didn't seem like we were going to see anything Raimi didn't do, at which point, why bother?
But I've been kind of a negative nabob about a lot of things lately, so take that for what it's worth and go buy a cup of coffee with it.
It didn't get my heart rate or my juices going. Not making it into my "opens this weekend!1!!" calendar, although I will probably see it in theatres, because I do.
No themed T-shirt, though.
at which point, why bother?
To make hundreds of millions of dollars?
I think it looks good. I could go for an edgier Peter Parker.
Spider-Man is not and never has been high on my list of favorite comic dudes, but I like Garfield and Stone. My interest is piqued. Which doesn't mean I'll see it - babies make movies less easy, it turns out.
I think that's my thing--I'm waiting for a sincere but not stupid incredibly flippant Spidey. This guy, so far to me, looks grumpily sarcastic.
That's the one aspect that I didn't like about the previous set of Spider-Man films. I missed the sarcasm that the comic book Spidey had.
