On the upside, “deeply horrifying” will be entirely true to the source material. That’s a ghost cricket, from after Pinocchio brutally murders it.

I’ll put 10 bucks (no pun intended) down on them adding two new songs and a 5 minute epilogue based on Bambi’s Children.

Never underestimate the human ability to bond with the adorable, regardless of potential danger or the ability of the adorable target to reciprocate. Small animals of all descriptions push our “aww, baby!” buttons, with big eyes, whimpering sounds, soft fur, and so forth. Arguably we don’t even need the object of our…

I have three cats, and refuse to let them sleep on my head or face. So the big one is on the nightstand threatening to push my phone and clock off the edge with every movement, the tiny one is on the other pillow and is thus is possession of that entire half of the bed, and the smaller-than-the-first-but-still-giant…

To be fair, I think I bought every issue under the Midnight Sons imprint. (I may have been the only one to do so.)

I legit forgot that Jubliee was a vampire these days, which goes to show how long I’ve been out of comics.

Morbius, Marvel Comics’ most famous vampire who isn’t Blade.

You’re absolutely right that music rights often seem to be a tripping point (or at least it feels that way; I don’t have any actual solid statistics beyond my bitching about the music replacements in the dvd release of the original Roswell tv show).

Ugh, it hadn’t even occurred to me to check.

I have to put in a plug for Strange Days, an underrated sci-fi noir directed by Kathryn Bigelow back in the 90s. Set in the lead up to NYE 1999, it stars an excellent Ralph Fiennes and spectacular Angela Bassett, somewhat dodgy performances from Juliette Lewis and Tom Sizemore, questionable amounts of sweat on all the…

Holes was a decent enough kids movie, I think, but I mostly just remember my intense delight when I saw that the part of the incredibly deadly local poisonous lizards were being played by (painted) bearded dragons, the friendliest, most human-lovingist lizards ever.

*twelve dollars

Stares, baffled, trying to figure out what the * standing in for.

So he’s literally the same Steve Trevor?? I haven’t been paying much attention to this until now, as I was only so-so on the original, so I had been assuming it was going to be a descendant thing. Resurrection is much more interesting (and significantly less creepy).

I haven’t watched that episode yet, but that’s both interesting and makes sense, since the comics Harbinger was working for the Monitor because he had saved her life as a small child.

Stylistically, animation, and that kind of loose hand drawn animation in particular, suited the subject matter and plot perfectly.

I loved loved loved The Maxx cartoon on MTV, which made me go buy the comic (which I also liked a lot). I am chuffed.

Hm... expected dark and sexy, got dark and rapey instead. Still looks like it might be an interesting take, though.

You’re probably thinking of “Race to Witch Mountain,” a 2009 remake starring the inimitable Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Not yet! I was crushed when I ran across it in a search, immediately clicked, and was greeted with this:
