* 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.
* 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.

Jeez, am I gonna hafta send you a fucking DVD of Mulholland Drive? Just watch it, for cryin’ out loud!
Oh man, if half of Green Lantern revolves around Carol Ferris concocting elaborate lies to avoid the most mundane of confrontations with Hal Jordan, I will stand up and applaud.
And I’m up to Andre The Giant in Dead Wrestler.
COOP: I own it and everything already! I just have very little movie time.
Ben: A) Amy made this same exact Serena joke a few minutes ago, not knowing I’d made it myself already; B) You’ve got a lot to look forward to. It’s seriously a great series and I don’t know half as much about wrestling as you do.
Thanks for the link to the LH review.
You can read it without worry — it does not mention or in any way spoil MD.
