I'm actually reading an ARC of this right now. So far, pretty good, especially the little dig at Lucas thanks to a "who shot first?" scene early on.

"A demonic version of Highlander", eh? Well, I must say it's an inspired description and certainly one I've never heard before. It may not completely encompass what made Brimstone great, but it's a good opening line, enough to pique someone's interest... a few years too late.

No, you certainly couldn't call Brimstone a rehash. Perhaps you could qualify it as a police procedural, but only if you go by a general description of its premise—I don't think there's ever been anything like Brimstone, in terms of plot or quality, before or since. Its successor, that show Reaper, took most of

I'm tempted to do that myself, mainly to refresh my memory considering how long it's been since I've seen Remember WENN.

And here I thought I was the only one who both watched and loved Remember WENN... and became extremely pissed off when it unceremoniously disappeared from A&E's schedule. Another show which needs to be released soon is Brimstone, the short-lived Peter Horton/John Glover show which aired on FOX back in '98-'99. It

The mechanical snake is bad enough, but the sweeping, triumphant soundtrack ramps up the creepiness factor by about a 1000. Seriously, though, other than scaring the crap out of everyone, what the heck is the purpose behind this thing?

Basically, I'm still watching this show simply so I can swoon over Hook and his beautiful lashes. *sigh* Gotta love a man in eyeliner and leather.

I weep for the state of this country, if this utter nonsense is what is considered "education."

I am not even remotely claustrophobic, yet this place gives me the heebie-jeebies.

This first time I saw a clip of Rise of the Guardians, I wasn't too excited about the film, especially by Santa. I mean, with those big, black eyebrows and Eastern European accent, he seemed more like a nightmare than a jolly old elf. But the more I see of this film, the more I think it's a winner, with some fresh

I would definitely watch this!

For the first time, I truly hope that this particular "an ElfQuest movie might actually be made" announcement doesn't come true. ElfQuest should never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be made as a live-action movie.

Um, how 'bout instead you look at the plumage pattern and compare the two? You'll find the throat feathers lay the same (but aren't exactly the same in both photos), showing that it's the same bird during two different periods of time.

"They don't squeak when you poke them."

This is wonderful and quite romantic. I loved his explanation for why orange is such a lonely color, it made me laugh out loud (and bring up the moment in "The Big Bang Theory" where Sheldon and Raj assign orange as the color of loneliness, because "Nothing rhymes with orange. It's probably lonely.").

I do that all the time, though not particularly because of a movie (though watching such a movie might enhance the frequency of accent usage). Ever since I was a little girl, the voices in my head (yes, I'm admitting to them in public), spoke in a British (and I'm speaking of BBC Standard British as I know there's no

I never had that talk, mainly because my dad didn't give a crap as to what I did. My mom encouraged me with both "boy" toys, like TONKA trucks and Matchbox cars, and "girl" toys such as Barbie and play kitchen sets. She always told me I should be able to play with whatever toys I liked, regardless of how they were

What I find disturbing is the focus on traditional, 4-year universities and the utter disdain for community colleges, which are treated as the butt of some puerile joke, when in fact community colleges not only provide top-notch educations in smaller, more intimate environments, they also have instructors who are just

It was all Rhys-Meyers vanity. He refused to don a fat suit to play "fat Henry," fearing it would ruin his sex appeal. I always thought the actor they got to play the Duke of Buckingham, Steven Waddington, would've made a better Henry: Not only did have the physique, he was a ginger, with brown eyes and a

Same here, on all points. And, also, why do I seem to be the only person who loathed Hellboy 2? I think Guillermo Del Toro is the most overrated director out there, recycling the same themes over and over, with each incarnation hailed as something new and brilliant.
