I Am Monday Afternoon's Link

I think my morning Mochachino was spiked with like thirty shots of espresso, because I am a posting maniac today and everything seems worthy of comment. Everything!!! Anyhoo...

--- Shove it, Rob Zombie - BD's got some new - yes, more - shots of Michael Myers in his two incarnations (until today, adult = cool, child = eye-gougingly annoying) in Mr. Zombie's remake of Halloween, and I'm only linking because things that are annoying me (of which there are so very many) are now seeping in to the shots of the adult Myers, i.e. that bloody pumpkin on a victim's head is straight-up retarded. BD is all "ooh, coolest shot we've seen so far!" and I'm all "I can't hear you, my brain has exploded from the flat-footed obviousness of it all." I feel like murdering John Carpenter just so he could spin in his grave.

--- One simple sentence like this -

"[Jennifer] Coolidge plays [the] boozing, acid-tongued ex-wife."

- is all it takes to sell me on a movie's worth: from DH, Coolidge will be starring alongside Gary Cole in David Moreton's just-announced road-trip comedy Say Hello to Stan Talmadge. I'm easy like that.

--- A couple of bits from the magical world of JK Rowling - first off, she's saying that she may assemble the various bits of background information she's amassed over the years on the world of Harry Potter and friends into some sort of Silmarillion-type Muggle's Encyclopedia, a defacto eighth book if you will, and I'm geek enough to look forward to this.

And secondly, she's telling y'all with inside-info to shut your horrible yaps and not ruin the seventh and final book's suprises for the rest of us out here. Does Harry die? We don't know, but if you do and you tell us, she and the good folks at The Leaky Cauldron will personally drag your skeleton out your nose-holes, k? Got it? Good.
