A gloomy day

[cleolinda]

Filthy, nasty, stormy weather today. In yet more evidence that I am wholly solar-powered, I did nothing but curl up in the recliner and watch episodes of A Haunting on the Discovery Channel (the one about Dartford Cemetery was particularly good, if cheesy) and shudder at the mere thought of being a productive member of society.

Also, nothing came for me in the mail today. Sadface.

Filming the unfilmable 'Watchmen'; How 9/11 Changed Watchmen; Explore ‘The Science of Watchmen’; Who Scrapbooks the Watchmen?, or, WB's Publicity Department Is the Best Place to Work EVER. It's full of "fake magazine ads, newspaper clippings, auction listings, and anything else Warner Bros. graphic design interns could think of making. There's enough realistic promotional material now that, after humans destroy each other, future alien anthropologists are going to have a hell of a time differentiating fact from Watchmen once they get the internet booted back up." Meanwhile: Is Watchmen Review-Proof? Well, it might need to be, because 'Watchmen': The early reviews are in; Hollywood Reporter rips into Watchmen; Watchmen UK Review; Variety Reviews Watchmen + A Few Munich Photocall Pictures.

'Hellraiser' Remake Update, Pinhead Design Reaction; Children of the Corn's hot Kandyse McClure will make you forget Dualla; Will We Really See Bryan Singer's Logan's Run Remake?; ‘Karate Kid’ Ralph Macchio Unsure About Jackie Chan as Mr. Miyagi; Does Gore Verbinski Have a 'Clue'?; 'Orphanage' Remake May Go This Year; Remake of the Day #1: ‘Arthur’; Remake of the Day #2: ‘Total Recall’; Remake of the Day #3: ‘The NeverEnding Story.’ Okay. Before we have riots and panic in the streets, let me ask you this: have you ever READ The Neverending Story? Because they changed a lot from the book (for starters: Atreyu was green) and left a lot out. Now, the original is one of my favorite childhood movies. I'm just saying: if they're going back to the book, they have a lot to work with, and it'll be a completely different movie that will have a reason to be made. So everyone chill.

The rest of 'em? Yeah, they're fucked.
