In less serious news altogether...

They're... re-booting The Crow? Well, much like the sequels and tv show, I find that fact... unnesseccary.
It could end up actually being good (I've been surprised by things like this before), but the original will have a place in my preteen heart forever.

And yet I'm excited for On Stranger Tides.
(Look, I can't help it. It's a Pirates movie minus Bloom and Knightley, with the added bonus of Swearengen and more gloriously piratey wisdom from Keef. I mean... how can I just reject that idea out of hand? I can't. I don't have it in me. Disney knows how to grab 'hold of my heartstrings with its casting choices, I'll give them that.)

A musical moment for you lovelies, as a retrospective on the fact that I was madly in love with this song for about a month once. (Excuse me while I go play Vampire: The Masquerade and cry bloody black tears as I bleed to death in darkness.)

And, in a musing that is linked to both The Crow and Pirates in a rather vague sense (and I'll give points to anyone who can point those links out), I ask myself this question: How in the name of heaven is there no Blu-Ray copy of Conquest of Paradise? That movie was, if nothing else, SHEER CINEMATIC BEAUTY. Ugh.
