Recently watched HellBoy 2 and was kind of surprised how uninvolving it was. It never really seemed to get going. It just jumped from scene to scene to scene without really taking the time to set up the story effectively. It was ok and such. Better than the sweat off Batesmotel's taint. But, not as good as I'd hoped.

Ka is a wheel
So, you know, whatever.

How old was Mary Todd Lincoln during the presidency? I have a feeling that Sally Field is currently older than MTL ever was and probably older than the average life expectancy of a woman in the 1860's.

Young Sherlock Holmes' Song
Rame Tep, Rame Tep.
Rame Tep, Rame Tep.

I thought she was made into an actual mummy
…like it was some crazy star thing to have her brains pulled out through her nose and wrapped in paper (or whatever) and such. Disappointed to find that she just died and no one realized it.

What Does Gangster Squad refer to?
The Gangsters? As in a squad of Gangsters.

Sample bit of dialogue:

No, there is no way this won't suck. It sounds awful.

Kung Fu Treachery!

I've been watching M. Hulot's Holiday. Ummm. It's certainly whimisical. But, doesn't anything start to happen in the movie or is the whole thing just a series of episodic scenes.

Rise of the Rise of the Planet Of The Apes
Inevitable title for the DVD featurette

Yo Ice Cube man. Why don't you kick some shit about the kids, man. The fuckin kids
Word.

J Serious, I'm distracted by that. Little Miss Firefly seems to only have one leg in that pic.
