To quote James Lileks: this was a labor of hate. On the bright side, any urge I had to watch BORDERLANDS is really dead, now. I even hesitated to put up the link.
But only hesitated. Who knows? You might click the link, and while you’re there not buying it something else might show up that you will buy. The grind is the grind.

I’ve been meaning to mention this for a bit. THE CALL OF CTHULHU / THE WHISPERER IN DARKNESS are the HPL Historical Society’s forays into filmmaking, and both are excellent reproductions of Lovecraft’s stories (people seem to like the first one better*, but I enjoy them both). Tubi has them up for free, but you’ll have to deal with ads. Such is life.

Continue reading @HPLHS’s THE CALL OF CTHULHU and THE WHISPERER IN DARKNESS now available on Tubi for free.I really need to go watch the INVISIBLE MAN remake they did a while back. I heard that it was good. WOLF MAN doesn’t look half bad, either, although I’d like to see some actual wolf men sometimes, if you know what I mean? Although I guess it wouldn’t be that much of a horror flick. When the moon is full, he turns into a wolf! Which means he immediately goes somewhere there’s no humans, and eats a deer or something.
Yeah. Riveting cinema, that.

I have to admit: things like WILDWOOD scratch my spooky itch. There’s a horror aesthetic out there that I can almost articulate, one that’s simultaneously rural, agricultural, and elaborate. A hidden mythos, filled with Things that do their dread business out of the sight of mortal man. Not unbeatable, by any means; but possessed of its own dread power.
I hope to get at least one novel out of it before I die.
…Anyway, WILDWOOD looks cool.
Based on the scientific poll I have made, I have the following results:
Continue reading The “I SUPPOSE it could be mistaken for…” A MINECRAFT MOVIE “…in dim light.” Teaser Trailer.As Honest Trailers notes: the Eighties were a different time. I say that not to condemn, but simply to note the fact. BEETLEJUICE was such a fun movie, in fact, that I am absolutely reluctant to see the sequel. How can it measure up?

GeekTyrant is somewhat confused about this, given that apparently people liked DEAD BOY DETECTIVES. There are two main possibilities: one, nobody was actually watching it. Two, it’s associated with Neil Gaiman, who is being accused of sexual assault. Although I guess there’s always three, which would be Embrace the healing power of ‘And.’
Either way (or both): I should probably go watch DEAD BOY DETECTIVES. You never know when this stuff will disappear, these days.
…and the price may be: one last Wesley Snipes BLADE, and an actual Channing Tatum GAMBIT flick.
Ryan Reynolds reportedly wants both, and Ryan Reynolds has just given Disney-Marvel something it needed extremely badly: a 1.2 billion dollar movie. I’m not going to lie: as a DC man, I am not devoted to the cause of getting either film. I absolutely am devoted to the cause of making the Mouse remember that you pay for the movies you want to make by making the movies that people want to see. That Reynolds will provide a certain chastisement with unholy glee is merely a bonus. I mean, it’s always nice to see somebody enjoy his work.
Solely so that I could put this clip up. When men aren’t thinking of the Roman Empire…

My youngest child has already watched the SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 3 trailer three times. He is, in fact, watching it now. I will be intimately familiar with this trailer by the time December rolls around. It is my destiny.
Besides, the movies aren’t awful. They’re for kids, but they’re not awful. And Jim Carrey does do a good Dr. Robotnik.
