Michaela Ponders Monsters....

Monsters!!!

Vampires (I just had a vampire dream last night!), Zombies (I can't wait for the invasion!), Werewovles (they're ok...)

Point?

We love them.

We want them.

We invite them into our homes via our favorite books, films, etc. then let them reside in our minds where they nest & fester. We only want harm to come to them sometimes. Just sometimes... 

But what about the really, real ones? The ones that perch on the outskirts of playgrounds and watch children. The ones that you don't notice because they don't want you to. The ones we want to go away forever and ever.

How are they vanquished?

Here's a theory & a jam.

every town should grow some tentacles...

The folks in Muscatine, Iowa know how to do things right. visit the Muscatine River Monster site to find out where the beast will appear next. Plenty of photos and stories and yes, even a t-shirt, are available through the site for your entertainment!

Do you think something like this would be a hit in your town? If so, what kind of beast would it be?

Wolfman hit by Gamma Radiation?!?

So, word on the street, or at least on MovieHole is the there is YET ANOTHER remake in the works for Universal's Wolfman. Apparently what began as a sequel to the Benicio del Toro flick is being reworked into a new story altogether. This just reminds me of the whole Hulk thing when they remade/retold/re-imagined the film only a few years apart from each other.

*steps up onto soap-box*

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of remakes, and it bugs me to no end that in the US at least, Hollywood, with all it's $$$, can barely come up with anything original these days and that a good portion of the movie-going public just kinda eats it all up. Don't get me wrong, I'm just as big of a consumer whore & impulse shopper as the next person -- you throw enough eye-candy in a flick and i'll be one of the first in line -- but sometimes a girl has got to have standards ;)

*steps down from soap-box*

So what is your take on this possible remake? Were you a fan of the Benicio del Toro version?
