"Clear eyes! Full hearts! Can't lose!"
True Blood season two starts this Sunday!
If you haven’t seen season one, you still have time! RENT IT. Two episodes a day today through Sunday and you’ll be ready by Sunday night for the new episode. We shall definitely be watching at my house. So get with it!
Yay for non-sparkly vampires!
As some of you know (because you were there), I saw Drag Me to Hell last night. I liked it quite a bit, but my super-Sam-Raimi-excitement just wasn’t entirely fulfilled. Now, I concede that I built it up quite a bit in my head before seeing it, but I still thought so much of it lived up to the hype: the crazed atmosphere, some legitimately funny parts, several bits that had me covering my eyes, and an incredible final scene. Unfortunately, something about Alison Lohman’s performance kept me from really loving it. Afterwards I complained about her, but couldn’t quite put my finger on what bugged me so much. Today, I figured it out.
They should have cast Jess Weixler, of the delightful, twisted horror gem Teeth. That’s what I wanted, that almost-over-the-top, willing-to-go-for-the-crazy-eyes, no-holds-barred kind of performance. Lohman was pretty good, but not that good.
Still, see the movie. It’s freaking fun. I anticipate its arrival on DVD in time for Halloween and expect we could make up a great drinking game to go along with its viewing.
Unrelated: The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien starts tonight!!! I will be staying up past my bedtime to watch.
