* There’s a teaser trailer for Lost season five popping up here and there around the Internet. But ABC seems intent on preventing people from seeing it, since heaven forbid, so I don’t much feel like tracking it down. I did manage to watch it, though–would you believe it’s cryptic?

* Like I always say, I may not know World of Warcraft, but I know what I like, and a zombie epidemic that turns players’ characters into the undead–oh baby, that’s’a what I like!

* So excited for Fantagraphics’ book of VHS box art Portable Grindhouse. Get crackin’, Covey!

* Watching the full-fledged official teaser trailer (if a teaser can be called full-fledged) for the Friday the 13th remake, I’m definitely thinking this could be fun. I mean, it’s just a giant killing machine in a hockey mask–there’s no risk of dumbing that down, right? In fact, of the Michael/Freddy/Jason troika, I think the Jason concept is the best: like an armed, rampaging Frankenstein monster without the redeeming qualities. That’s tough to get wrong. (Note to self: Jason vs. Rambo?) And lo and behold, no wonder it looks so much like that Texas Chainsaw remake–they’re both directed by Marcus Nispel. (Via STYD.)

* Looks like The Madonna will be the next “Film of Blood” Clive Barker adaptation, after Dread (which is after Midnight Meat Train) and before Pig Blood Blues.

* My old Wizard compadre Alex Kropinak joins the Rowdy Schoolyard sketchblog with this. The creep can roll. Who knew?
