Carnival of souls

* I’m pleased to live up to my recent promise to put anything Boy’s Club above the fold by linking to Top Shelf co-honcho Brett Warnock’s enthusiastic review of Matt Furie’s wondrously funny comic.

* My pal TJ Dietsch provides a peek behind the curtain at our latest Manly Movie Mamajama. If anything I think he undersells how bad Slumber Party Massacre 2 was. Even in pure T&A and gore terms! I’m thinking we should have gone with the first in the series, which seemed to beat its successor out in the former category if Google Images is any indication. But then again, people could have just listened to me and thrown in Body Double

* Terrence Howard’s expulsion from the warm bosom of Iron Man 2 in favor of Don Cheadle the other day was apparently news to Terrence Howard. It is also neither confirmed nor disconfirmed by Brandt Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige.

* CRwM reviews An American Crime, a film I have a hard time even thinking about watching.

* The Spurge kinda dug the Speed Racer.

* I did not see the end of Becky Cloonan’s team-up with Vladimir Putin coming.
