* For years now I’ve longed for someone to make a movie as scratch-your-eyes-out crazy as Rob Zombie’s fake trailer for Werewolf Women of the SS from Grindhouse, “starring Nicholas Cage as Fu Manchu.” Now Neveldine/Taylor, writer-directors of Crank and Crank 2: High Voltage, have signed on to direct Nicholas Cage in Ghost Rider 2, and provided the studio lets Neveldine/Taylor be Neveldine/Taylor, I may just get my wish.

* Dan Nadel reviews Jacques Tardi’s motherfucker of a World War I comic It Was the War of the Trenches.

* George R.R. Martin presents HBO’s complete factsheet on Game of Thrones, including everyone who’s been cast so far, all the writers, all the directors, etc. Getting excited.

* Here’s a Not Coming to a Theater Near You piece on Lost Highway, one of my absolute favorite movies of all time, that I’m going to avoid reading until I’ve seen goddamn Mulholland Drive, just in case.

* Tom Kaczynski draws Lightning Bolt.

* Raymond Sohn presents a brief survey of heta-uma style depictions of the penis. Viva la comix!

* I love this poster for a Fred Dekker night at in Rochester and I don’t even like Night of the Creeps.

* Ah, I knew there was a reason I was looking forward to the Green Lantern movie. “You’re Star Sapphire?” “(Sigh.) Look, Hal, I was gonna tell you…”

* Dead Wrestler of the Week is back with an entry on Road Warrior Hawk, my favorite pro wrestling archetype ever.

* Paul is dead.
