I would watch that movie.

What happens when they get to the dragon?  Do they whip an Otherkin's ass?

Or spiders and lizards… oh, no, wait - that one makes sense.

So I read the plot summary for "Miss Castaway and the Island Girls".

Eh?  I thought Edward Drinker Cope was our type specimen?

Can't believe I'm having this conversation but, well, here we are.

One behind-the-scenes story I learned very recently, covers two movies, and love because it is hilarious and absurd:

See, I wish more mediocre and/or batsh*t insane children's films had making-of features or something.  I'd love to know the thought processes behind "Gooby", "MAC and Me", "Theodore Rex"…

Reminds me of how "Part of Your World" was nearly cut from "The Little Mermaid".  (Hell, "Waking Sleeping Beauty" is full of terrific trivia like that.)

I'm surprised it's never dawned on anyone who may be sitting on a warehouse of "Cutthroat Island" stuff to slap Johnny Depp somewhere on the package.

I just remember a magazine from the time with Arnold on the cover screaming (in text) about his brandy-new family-friendly film that was bound to outperform "Jurassic Park".  Yeah…

Ah, the good/bad old days of the Internet.

I apologize for appearing to pick on you (I'm not, it's only because this is the second time this has come up), but are there people really sensitive enough to be put off that much by a DRAWING of poop?  With a cute little Santa hat on yet?  Really?

I like to think of that one as a less vague "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas".

Fascinating story, especially the part about Harlan Ellison.  But as for the Nackles story itself… well, I wasn't planning on sleeping.

I don't think there is; if there is it's not nearly as noticeable (or off-putting) as in "Lord of the Rings".  Just a lot of funky 30's style rubber hose animation.

Ah yes, of course it's a story that involves Llandra and the Totally Not The Aliens From "Alien" You Guys.  *sigh*  It's going to be way, waaay too long until the studios gain the gonads to let us see the batsh*t crazy X-Men storylines on the big screen.  (Which doesn't sound so much like a bad thing until you realize

Oh God.  Honestly, if Adam Sandler wasn't involved, people would remember that thing as a hate crime on film.

Oh certainly.  I am not for a moment suggesting that if you accidentally took your six-year-old to, say, "Sin City" ("It's by the same guy who made those fun 'Spy Kids' movies what could go wrong?!?"), that the kid should have to suffer through the whole thing just to get to the (not) happy ending.  I just mean a

Yeah, in hindsight that probably wasn't the best example.  Point is, I was bugged by stuff adults assumed kids wouldn't notice.
