Sunday Morning Matinee: Didn't You Wear That Like Five Years Ago?
Counting with Movies
The New A-Team in action
BA still don't wanna get on no plane with no damn fool...
The Return of Captain Mal
In case you didn't get to see the Castle episode everyone was talking about...
Put That Thing Away!
How that trash compactor scene should have gone...

And Now the News: French Girl Reporter vs. Mummies and Pterodactyls
Adèle Blanc-Sec
The poster looks like a thoughtful Merchant-Ivory film, but we're assured that it is, in fact, going to be a kick-ass movie about a mummy-fighting girl reporter battling a pterodactyl that's on the loose in early 1900s-Paris. Undead Backbrain has more details and some scans from the comic it's based on.
If you haven't already... meet your new A-Team
This has already made the rounds, but I'm still catching up from Halloween. The picture both thrills and terrifies me at the same time. In a world that allows Will Ferrell to star in Land of the Lost, there's no way this can be as awesome as it looks like it's going to be. It's got to be some kind of joke. [/Film]
Dark Days Update: Meet Stella
The adaptation of my favorite 30 Days of Night story continues to move along. It's too bad that they couldn't get Melissa George to reprise her role as Stella, but Kiele Sanchez deserves a fair shot. I didn't like her character on Lost any more than anyone else did, but that was all about the writing and nothing to do with her performance. If anything, she actually made we want to get past the ungraceful shoehorning of her character into the established cast.
At any rate, I refuse to have anything but optimistic thoughts about the Dark Days movie. I don't know that it'll be a perfect adaptation, but I'm excited to see what it's like. [AceShowbiz]
Conan Update: Character Descriptions
I won't post any spoilers here, but /Film has casting breakdowns from the Conan movie that's currently in development. They talk about the backgrounds and motivations of various characters in the movie. Unfortunately, none of it's faithful to existing stories, nor does it bring anything new to the sword-and-sorcery genre in general.
Bone Update: A Trilogy?
Jeff Smith says that he's very happy with the progress on Warner Brothers' Bone adaptation so far and that it'll likely be a CGI-animated trilogy of films. That all sounds good to me, though my preference would be for live actors and location-shooting with CGI creatures.

Quotes of the Week: Wilford Brimley-ward
Due to technical difficulties, I'm not going to be able to post this weekend. So here are the Quotes of the Week a bit early.
If he doesn't return, how will we all learn how to treat our mothers?
--Linda Holmes on why Mr. T should play BA Baracus in the A-Team movie.
Matthew Shepherd, Michael Shoyket and David Hedgecock rework a few pages from Captain Blood to address the problems independent comics have with distribution, ultimately asking readers to “demand more from comics.” And, in one panel, not to download comics … which seemed very unpirate-like.
--JK Parkin, pointing out the one "flaw" in SLG's very entertaining Captain Blood mash-up about what readers can do to get the indie comics they want.
But it's pretty silly to promote the idea that your attraction to an under-30 American Idol contestant is something that requires the attention of a psychoanalyst and two sex therapists — as though a (40-year-old woman) should naturally expect her tastes to have turned exclusively Wilford Brimley-ward by now.
--Linda Holmes (yes, again), on why the term "cougar" has outlived any usefulness it ever may have had.

Video du Jour: Cowboy George
Remember that episode of The A-Team with Boy George? Seeing that Face Man wasn't into Culture Club was the final proof I needed that he was no replacement for Starbuck. Now, Mr. T and Mad Dog... they had taste.
