So...attempts to modernize the Universal Monsters. We live in a vastly different world now. There are, functionally, no monster kids. In their attempt to force another cinematic universe (which no one has managed save Marvel, which itself has basically been burned to the ground by Disney), they did what DC did, and which Disney…

Weekend nearly here. I could get used to this three day work week. Oh, well, maybe eight or ten years from now. Anyway, nice poster, obviously. Universal should give up, though. They will never recapture this magic. The world is just too different a place, now.

Happy (?) Monday, folks. I hope everyone is recovered from Baba Yaga. Anyway, time to start a new work week, although at least we have a holiday weekend coming up. Well, I do, because I was able to take next Monday off. And a new anime season starts Saturday, so sweet.

So...was the artist stationed in Japan, or rather saw the mask in a book or museum? Happy Friday, everyone! Watch something stupid this weekend. Heck, watch something stupid with us tonight at the Watch Party.
