It seems like a combination of Love at First Bite and The Addams Family, or something.
I hope it's as good as Addams Family Values.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I don't know what to think about that trailer. I'm much less interested in DS than I was.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That performance by Johnny looked rather like his performance in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
I expect a similar tone.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Oh well, at least he's not constantly going back re-edit crappy stuff into The Nightmare Before Christmas and Beetlejuice
I hadn't though of that, what a terrifying idea.
They do still have a window of time in which they could make a vampire movie and cast Christopher Lee in it.
I KNOW. C'mon Hammer, you know you want to!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Well, it's written by the guy who wrote Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, so, yeah, definitely a comedy. (Although the Lincoln movie looks like a serious, badass action movie.)

Just caught the 80s Flash Gordon. I've got to say the 80s was the perfect decade to make that movie. 80s style art direction suited it perfectly. And the complete shamelessness of the over the topness. Not straight faced exactly, but the bits were delivered without ever winking at the audience. Even Flash being able to fight off the guards once he had a football shaped rock to hold. They were too busy moving the absurd plot forward to stop and rub any one joke in. High cheese definitely. Camp definitely. High camp? Not sure of the definition of the last. A really fun bad 80s movie. With a Queen sound track yet.

The writer for Flash Gordon was the same guy who created the 1960s Batman series.

21 Jump Street is getting WAY better reviews than I ever imagined. 87 on Rotten Tomatoes? Really?

they must be grading on a curve where they pretend the show never existed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I was going to say, speaking of comedic remakes, the 21 Jump Street reviews look shockingly positive.
