Ghost Rider, pick on people your own size. You’re kind of being a dick.
Watch Party tonight! Wheeee!
I saw Nosferatu yesterday, luckily before it left theater. I would have used that as MotD, but stills of Bill Skarsgard’s Orlock are still not circulating on the Interwebs, which is pretty amazing. There are misdirect (official, unofficial?) pics of him wearing a traditional Nosferatu look. Orlock has been redesigned, though (hopefully that doesn’t represent a spoiler), but is equally creepy. You can definitely see what they were going for. Anyway, I thought the film was magnificent.
Today I go to see the latest work of another great auteur in theaters. It’s The Colors Within, an anime film by my favorite anime director, Naoko Yamada. She directed such acclaimed films as The Silent Voice and Liz and the Bluebird, which I particularly love. She also worked on many of the great Kyoto Animations series before eventually leaving the studio following the horrible massacre there. Most important to me, she made her bones as a young director on K-On!, K-On!! and K-On the Movie, which I love deep, deep in my bones. K-On! as a franchise is up there to me with Godzilla and early Marvel comics. Anyway, her new film is in theaters for a week, and although I know most of you aren’t interested in anime, I’d still suggest. I’m not exaggerating when I call Ms. Yamada one of the great filmmakers working today.
