@anuran001: Actually, I would love that list. I'm so glad she's reading for pleasure, but as we all know, the books that get the most press are often the lousiest ones. And she's smart enough to tell the crap from the good stuff, thank god.

@krispykrink: I think they're doing 13 episodes for the second season. But I agree - a real season of 24 episodes would be awesome.

@anuran001: Is it suitable for my 14 year old niece? She thinks most of the Twilight books and their ilk are stupid but still seems to gravitate to supe themes. And I would love to keep her reading.

I think it's Vicki Vale, not Catwoman. But for the latter I'd cast Emily Blunt or Ashley Greene. Actually, Greene might be better as Poison Ivy.

I just want them to cast Ashley Greene in a role. Not just because she's beautiful but because I think she fits with True Blood and the show needs some interesting women. The male characters get all the good juice and the annoying women (Sookie, Tara) get way more screen time than the fun women (Jessica, Pam.)

And nostalgia. Watching the Monster Matinee every Saturday growing up is one of my fondest memories.

@eviladrian: Ha, I already do all that "romancing." Most authors do. Vanity publishing and epubs are unleashing thousands of books every year that would normally languish in a slush pile. Those excited new authors are shouting themselves hoarse all over the Internet and so the demand for self-promotion keeps rising…

I am an author who has seen a lot of my work pirated via ebook. Most of the breezy and academic arguments I read online about it strike me as deeply idealistic and naive. Courtesy of Google Alert, at least four or five times a month I see people asking for my entire backlist at various pirate sites. Translated into…

The weird magic of Rocky Horror can never be replicated. Lightning struck with that movie for a variety of odd reasons and no remake is going to recapture it or interest a new crop of fans. And the current fans will sneer at it.

I keep reminding myself I'm only going to see one episode on Halloween. My excitement is so great that I feel like I'm going to see the entire series on TV at once. Just six episodes is going to be frustrating.

@mekki: I want Marcy back too. The episode with Bobby's zombie wife felt realer to me than any of the brother's relationships, and I've always wanted him to find a new love ever since.

I was hoping one of these would be in AZ. All the ones I've seen advertised around here look shoddy.

@Jackrabbit6179: No, I noticed this week that it's not just Sam and the brothers' rapport that seems off, it's Dean too. He had some dialogue this episode that sounded like someone else wrote it - trying to be witty and sarcastic but just sounding clumsy.

Kirkman misses The Governor? How ominous. I hope he doesn't launch any similar new characters. For me, that was too much for too long.

I get True Blood is insanely popular as a show but the comic book is godawful. I threw in the towel after the third issue because it was so boring.

@Not a fan boy: Exactly, there's major potential there. And I think it would be good for non-comic-book-geek audiences to have a villain who's fairly fresh to them.

I would love this more than anything but I don't think it's realistic. Seems too CGI-ish for Christopher Nolan.

@bookling: Yes, the attempted seduction scene was some fine acting by David Duchovny. I laughed my ass off.

All I could think of was the X Files episode where the same guy fathered multiple babies (with tails) and did so by looking like their fathers. And in one case impersonated Luke Skywalker to seduce a woman.

@SkaHimself: agreed. I re-watched it recently and could not even imagine a horror film with that kind of pacing or risks. But worry that a remake would just have a super-hot college student, not a single mom, and be heavy on gratuitous nudity during the rape scenes.
