How do you like the idea of Anne Hathaway as Black Cat, Spider-Maniacs (fans of Spider-Man who are psychotic)? I ask not arbitrarily but because she might actually have been offered the role. According to Nikki Finke, producers for the superhero series have approached the Brid... / Continue →

Like Old Dogs, Crazy on the Outside is one of those rare, terminal illness-style films that shows up seemingly out of nowhere and is so shocking, so heinous, that I just can't believe--refuse to believe--no matter what the charts/posters say, can really be happening. How were t... / Continue →

If I were a wolfman, I would NEVER use a wolf cane. Or even if I'm not wolfman, if there's a wolfman issue going on locally, still not using a wolf cane. Casts too much suspicion on myself. If you're in an area with a werewolf, get yourself a cane with whatever the opposite of ... / Continue →

The person who posted this trailer on YouTube labeled it "bizarre," but the Japanese have created too many genuinely bizarre things to really say this is bizarre. It's more surreal, like you've woken up in a parallel universe where everything is the same, except in Japanese. Th... / Continue →
