    Man, there are a lot of gratuitous amputations in that Samurai Zombie trailer. Why would they show all the good stuff in the trailers, though? We can already tell from it that like two of the main characters die horribly/lose a few appendages.

    Over the length of my life, I have read literally a dozen stories about children with wings, each more cloying and weepily sentimental than the last.


    I pray every day to real angels with rage and flaming swords to preserve me from this.

    I'm going back to Milwaukee for New Year's (twelve years in NYC) and I for one am looking forward to Kopp's burgers, pizza at Zaffiro's, 4am breakfast at George Webb, and copious amounts of booze at Vitucci's and the Landmark...don't hate on a city you've never been to Malto. Granted I'd never want to move back but it is nice to visit.

    I miss Norway. The average women looks like that there. They all seem to be smart, friendly and athletic. It's sort of like the eastern europe except the economy is better, people are better educated and there is more sexual equality so the women aren't lining up to take their clothes off on the internet.

    ...um, I should point out that Splice is directed and written (with others) by Vincenzo Natali - nothing to do with Del Toro - he's just an executive producer (along with 4 others)...

    Considering Perlman's outstanding job on Sons Of Anarchy right now, he might just be too busy for this as well.

    Maybe somebody should actually, you know, talk to him about it?

    @Plague: Giamatti says they're talking to him about it, and I don't see why he'd lie or exaggerate.


    There's time between TV seasons (esp. of cable shows) to knock out a B-movie or three. Or if the TV show gets canceled.


    I like Perlman, but I don't see him as Elvis.

    Dear Meredith:


    Hi. How are you? Just here to point out a little typo you must have missed.

    Throughout the article you refer to an Elvis impersonator.

    I know, I know, it must be embarrassing to realize you mistakelyn wrote that.

    Twice.

    But no harm, no foul. I once read a review that made the same mistake, and also accidentally referred to someone who thought he was JFK.


    Also, you forgot to mention that it is a documentary.


    Thank you,

    I don't have anything against Pearlman, but the only reason I saw Bubba HoTep was for Bruce, and I doubt I'll see Nosferatu without him in it. Bubba Ho Tep just seemed mediocre to me, saved only by a great Bruce performance. I wonder if Bruce stepped aside to make his own movie "My Name is Bruce," or perhaps the story of him not appearing in Nosferatu is only a rumor. Either way, I'm not into B-movies as much as I used to be, and I'll probably skip Nosferatu completely either way. So the point of my post? I'm procrastinating from writing a paper due next week.

    I say make the best of it: cast a different Elvis in every film dliberately.


    First, Bruce Campbell as the old, dying elvis in Bubba Ho-Tep,

    Then, Ron Perlman as the just-past-his-prime kickass Elvis in Bubba Nosferatu, and then, Thomas Haden Church as a young Elvis, revived from the dead for a future film about Elvis vs space aliens.

    I found Bubba Ho-Tep really dull and not very good at all. Which was annoying because it seemed like a "can't lose" situation.


    But Giamatti + Perlman seems like a good match, I'm willing to give it a second shot (how big of me)
