[Setting: A Bucolic country club estate, well monied people in pastels socializing during a sunny afternoon, a string ensemble playing in the background.]

Now that I think about it, I sorta do.

"My Super Sweet 16 Month Old."

Of all the periods in Burton's career to revisit again, Corpse Bride is certainly one of them.

Yeah, ever since the internet made it really easy to create and distribute compelling animated shorts, I think over and over again as I watch movie previews how many of the stories previews introduce probably work better as 3 to ten minute pieces rather than 90 minute features.

God, I loved those books.  Forget Goosebumps, the first book in the Bunnicula series was terrifying the first time I read it in Kindergarten.

In all seriousness, I think I'd really like to see a major motion picture come out for a general audience with an intended subtext about ending capitalism made by people who are very up front about their politics.  What bothers me about the Fox News people isn't so much that they're paranoid enough to claim The

Let's not say things we can't back.  This movie doesn't look great or anything, but I couldn't last more than two questions into any of those debates before feeling like I was in a waking nightmare.

Now that you bring it up, this is actually a pretty brilliant business model Marvel cooked up. By making a ton of independent superhero movies that not everyone will like all of (I disliked The Incredible Hulk, didn't see Thor, and liked Iron Man 1 and 2), they can make Avengers type movies work as sequels for various

Let's find out what strong text is!

That may be true, but the "But Wolverine" counterargument is pretty hard to shrug off when one of the Avenger's superpower is the bow and arrow.

I know I'm the minority voice here, but I was really underwhelmed by Johannson in that movie.  Playing a lonely, out of place person is a really undemanding role, since all you need to do is be really quiet, languid, bored, and unresponsive, which is pretty undemanding.  I spent the whole movie waiting for another

I'm really, really, really excited for The Cabin in the Woods.  The preview pretty much gave everything about it away, which is too bad, but Joss doing a movie based around a premise like Cabin's is a recipe for success.

It may sound that way, but they're actually appealing to a wide variety of dweebazoids, dork faces, nerd heads, mongaloids, freak mongers, and twerps.

That flying mechanical snake thing at the end looks pretty rad.  My hopes aren't super high for this because the Avengers have always been the lesser super hero team next to the X-Men, but I have faith in Whedon's ability to deliver awesome dialogue, and the action sequences look like they're going to be pretty solid.

I'm gonna hop on a runaway train to see them, heh heh heh,

It's going to come down to which ever of them can play a cyber vampire more convincingly.

Goddammit.

…it's just not happening.

I think this differs in that something other than a Dashboard Confessionals song triggered this.
