Dread

Again, a nice well-rounded review.

They were bad. But what world do we live in when a director sees a great movie and then signs on to remake it?

He hasn't been the same since his wife went bugfuck. That looks kind of cool. Maybe I'll grab the trade. I like how the Atom looks Asian and not a white guy with black hair.

Disaster Girl Awesomeness. Check out page two.

That is both hilarious and scary at the same time...

Yeah, it was where Fincher first gave you impossible shots and convinced you they were real.

I have a feeling the first one will be quite good, the others, probably not so much. Texas Chainsaw Massacre anyone?

Hello! Dr. Giggles! Storywise it is pretty one-sided, but cinematically I think it really is one of the few perfect films.

At least a ripoff. The maker of Machine Girl + Tokyo Gore Police= Cinematic brilliance.

That's what I thought...but you try arguing with a woman who breastfed Gorilla Grodd for two years.

Megan: the Reddick matriarch, here. First of all, I would like to point out that this is the second thread in two days talking about my family without any mention of the all-powerful Mummy-figure. Mike, I would like to add to the post that you AND I were in that episode with "Ginger Snaps" and I actually got some fan mail. (Des says "Boom. Roasted.") I would just like to make aware that I am the one who feeds and clothes the popular boy/man figures of the house. I am the unseen force behind the mighty males. Now I don't always ASK for credit, but please, folks, let's give credit where credit is due. Flowers (no carnations), chocolate (only dark) and wine (preferably Merlot) can be sent via DreadMedia to my doorstep. Thank you for reading, and please make sure you wash behind your (hairy or non-hairy) ears. And eat your vegetables.

Meh...it's not in continuity. Katana vs. Bane. I just wrote that fight in my head and if this is anywhere near it, definitely worth checking out.

You thought Dubs? Also, it's been like a month since I interviewed a limey. Next episode features not one but two cohosts doing a Christopher Lee impression and Darryll's Edward Woodward impression is likely to be clipped and used in perpetuity...you'll have to wait and see. But that did tease what's covered next episode. I told you never to tell!

Ahem, doing my best Koete: "But you can still check out Nuff Said where there will be the occasional chat about Spidey including the rest of Silver Age Marvel. Some would even say it's among the best comics podcasts around even after only a few episodes."

Lunatics. Every fucking one of you...

Focal rhinitis? Sinus infections for more days out of the year than not? Fuck my life.

Also, the wife wants me to mention that she deserves some credit too. I told her she gets credit when she wears the Wonder Woman costume.

To be fair, it was the eighties. Everyone was off their nut on cocaine. Pryor just moreso.

after taking the kids to swimming lessons we went over to the local library where they had, on the for sale rack, a stack of Cineaste journals. I chose eight (for a quarter a piece) and, since we didn't have our wallets, asked for them to be put on our late charges and the woman behind the desk said "just take them." Now I just need to find the issue with my article and I'll be super happy.

Now I want to write the book just to see the illustrations.

Seeing as I have a major allergenist appointment on friay, I'm day two of a week with no anti-histamines and it FUCKING SUCKS!!!

It's easy my friends. Take something age-appropriate that you love and know a lot about and expose your kids to it. But if you want to get me a book deal, then it is much more complicated.

Doesn't the presence of time travel render this film from being considered in continuity?

Hilariously enough, after talking with Darryll today about Superman III, I went to Megan's family's house for dinner but my allergies were so bad I had to go inside. I turn on the TV and what's on? Superman III. I stand by the following: Superman III is an excellent caper comedy punctuated by terribly shitty moments featuring Superman. Richard Pryor is absolutely perfect, in particular the drunken code-cracking. Superman spends the first half of the fucking movie chasing Lana Lang's tail (though, can you blame him?) But, as far as Supes moments, it does feature the single greatest frame in a superhero movie, ever:

In preparation for the Canada Day parade my kids are in on Wednesday, we have been singing O Canada to which my sons sing "we stand on Grodd for thee" While I howl in pride my wife corrects them with "it's guard." They sing, "We stand on God for thee." I fucking love my children.
