Seriously one of the scariest movies ever made, even today (even to today's kids, if my daughters are any indication). Over the years I've decided that in the Browning, the only truly great thing is Dwight Frye (sorry Bela), and in the Coppola, it's Tom Waits. Someone should just go ahead and make a Renfield-only…

Mash 'em up — Magnum, She Wrote. Wherein Magnum is a little old man retired in some harbor town, and he's writing mysteries and then people keep dying. Starting with his obnoxious sidekick.

I've never seen Ghost because I've seen Truly Madly Deeply, which is great, in ways that Ghost is not. I can say that even though I haven't seen Ghost because I'm an American and therefore legally arrogant.
I've also seen Topper. That's pretty much all I need when it comes to ghost-centered entertainment.

I'll go farther on the graphic novel 9/11 report…. I actually think it's the clearest, most even-handed and understandable writing I've EVER read on the subject. It delves deeply (and non-confusingly) into the history that led up the attacks, and is pretty damn non-partisan. (I mean, blame falls where it falls; it's…

Ooh, no, request a double-shot of In the Summertime and Come On, Eileen. It's a banjo, skiffle thing.

I've never seen Anchorman. This is a pretty funny commercial, though.

So, it's 9 to 5 without Dolly, Lily or Jane. Or, probably, humor.

"…John Hawkes type” to play a Dick Grayson/Nightwing who hasn’t spoken to Batman “in years,” which has presumably caused him to move to Gotham’s woods and start a meth lab."

Candy's problem, and I'd be willing to put it on his agents or whoever, was the same as many comic actors of the day: he took a LOT of film jobs. He was a working actor (and he was a good actor too, not just a comic one — see this movie, Planes Trains & Automobiles, Splash… etc) and I think you can never tell how…

To be fair, East Germans WERE demons. All of them. You can look it up.

Candy, for me, would have been the ONLY Ignatius Reilly, though many, many actors have been mentioned for the role before and since (Will Farrell, John Belushi, Chris Farley, Divine…) — I hope they never do the movie. To me, a period-perfect version with Candy and maybe Don Cheadle would have been the way to go.

Here's MY admission — I can't THINK about that scene without getting a little misty.
So thanks a lot, Neckbeard..

I've long been of the opinion that the playpus, rather than a goofy freak of nature, is actually the perfectly-designed animal. Small, amphibious, lays eggs, poisonous… I mean, what can they NOT do, except fly? And they probably can, they just don't like to show off.

Yeah, leave her alone!

Small and harmless, sure —- until they start SPINNING….!!!

"There used to be the Thylacine but we killed that. "
I know in my heart that that's probably true… but I love the semi-convincing thylacine sightings that crop up every now and then. (and have gotten more common since the internet of course.) I really want to believe… but. Sigh.

But Ms. Perry has a solution — the Australian release of the new album has triffid seeds. THAT will take care of any pesky small animal population. And large animal, eventually.

But his house is all CGI. It LOOKS like Hollywood.

—as if people aren't camping out in line already…

666 seals, all in one giant circus tent, honking a huge rack of those squeeze-bulb horns, to the tune of Halls of Montezuma… that would be a thing of beauty. AND horror.
