* Here are a couple of video interviews with Grant Morrison I haven’t had a chance to watch yet. (Via JK Parkin.)

* Here’s an audio interview with Jordan Crane I haven’t had a chance to listen to yet. (Via Mike Baehr.)

* Here’s a Gilbert Hernandez superheroine comic I haven’t had a chance to read yet. (Also via Mike Baehr.)

* B-Sol at Vault of Horror notes the locations of Deadgirl theatrical screenings across the country on July 24th and 25th at midnight. They shoulda thrown San Diego in there.

* I really don’t care if Let Me In is “a more accurate English-language translation” of the title of the novel upon which Let the Right One In was based–it’s not as good a title, and it’s silly that that’s what They’re calling the Hollywood remake. (Via Jason Adams.)

* I have no dog in this race at all, so I’ll simply say that Tom Spurgeon’s argument for pulling the plug on the Harveys has me mentally singing its central proposition to the tune of “Pulling the Plug on the Party,” which is awesome.

* Yes, by all means, please collect David Mazzucchelli’s Rubber Blanket so I can finally read the damn thing.

* Can’t remember if I’ve seen this before or not, but the Clive Barker adaptation Book of Blood hits DVD on September 29th.

* My pal Ben Morse makes the case for his definitive Batman stories.

* My pal Ceri B. takes a look at a pair of horror-ish comics that were part of what was once known as “the New Mainstream,” The Light Brigade and various 30 Days of Night books.

* Wow: Scientists have discovered a single, massive ant mega-colony spread across Europe, the U.S., and Japan. (Via Thoreau.)

* Torture links of the day: We tortured multiple prisoners to death. Shouldn’t that be a bigger deal, especially given how the torture debate has come to center not on the morality of abuse generally, but whether the way we abused people wasn’t that severe?

* Adorable, animated-style Battlestar Galactica figures are pretty hilarious in the context of the series’ final episodes. Speaking of, it’s kind of adorable that the upcoming tv movie Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is pretty explicitly devoted to tying up plot points they never got around to covering in the series itself.
