    Season of the Witch looks intresting. But if shes giving them so much grief.....I would just dump the mystic bint in the nearest forest clearing and tell top brass that we lost her to the weather!!!

    Epp also looks like the most disturbing thing put to celluloid!!!! Hold me!! Bird flu just got a whole new meaning!!!

    Am I the onlyone who likes Ron Perlman better than Nick Cage? Because he (Perlman) has made me watch a couple of movies I thought looked like utter crap, just to see the man act. Nic Cage though? "Oh boy another movie with Nic Cage, think I'll wait to see it as an in-flight movie."

    I watched the Season of the Witch trailer the other day and it looks okay but honestly I think it would be better without Cage in it.

    The fanmade trailer of El Eternauto looks better than the test footage but as Meredith pointed out it is only test footage. I did like the first pat of the test footage but the CG looks like special effects from the 50's which is funny in it's own right.

    El Eternauta: Looks like someone didnt get the toy they wanted in their happy meal.

    Eep: You know they actually said "KFC will not harm you" with straight faces.

    SUCK: The music leaves a little to be desired but the movie looks like it has potential to become a cult classic like a Whopper.

    Season of The Witch: Looks like it might be ... ummm ... a Nick Cage movie. Which means i will see it as he has the potential to be so good or so bad. Like a 3am gas station hot dog.

    Has he now just gone into playing all his characters as Nick Cage coz Nick Cage is the coolest character that this character could be ?

    (Yeah thats right, i went fast food on all those clips)

    "I know it's not really in our wheelhouse"

    It's okay by me that you cover anything that could be described as "fannish". I trust your judgement. Even though none of us really know what "fannish" encompasses. The best we've been able to do is "I know it when I see it".

    Personally, I've been described by two former managers as "a renaissance man" and by one as "unfocused". They're all probably right. So I know how hard it is to decide what your purview really is. It's a challenge to define your market, when SF and fantasy fans are known for having interests all over the map.

    (Why is GLEE fannish? Damned if I know. But it is.)

    This looks like a very fun B-movie. Sure, it's gonna be cheesy as hell, and probably awkward, but I'd go see this over most big budget films these days.

    @PostMarque: i wish most any christopher moore book would become a movie. i think 'the stupidest angel' could be a great flick.

    my sister saw him speak at a book store, and apparently the film rights to all his books have been purchased, so i just keep my fingers crossed.

    @thursdaynext27: i'm not sure who owns the rights to each. I'd agree maybe an HBO miniseries could do it justice, and may not attract as much negative attention (/protests from crazies) as a feature film.

    And yet the music still "sucks."

    At least they don't sparkle.

    @bonniegrrl: Mmm, the music did NOT inspire me to want to watch that. On the oter hand, Dave Foley, and maybe most importantly, Malcolm McDowell, did that. As much as I like Iggy Pop, I don't really need to see films just because he's in them, same with Alice Cooper (unless John Carpenter directs). Hell, I stuck with Heros as long as I did just because of McDowell.

    When was the last time we had a vampire comedy-drama? (I am not counting "Lesbian Vampire Killers" because I am saying "comedy".) Anyway, the last one I can think of was "Blood and Donuts". Now if this movie is as half as fun as that movie was, I am shall be a happy fangirl.

    And, oh, hey, Merton Dingle! Yeah!
