Are you guys familiar with woot? It’s a neat shopping site that sells one different item per day at a bargain price. They have a sub-site called shirt.woot that’s the same concept, but with t-shirts. The price is always $10.00 and shipping is included, so that’s not too shabby compared to other joints selling t-shirts. Obviously, the catch is that a given design is only available for one day.
Today’s shirt is a cute, pixelized take on Thriller…

I went to Wanted tonight with my brother. The theater was pretty full for the 6:45pm showing. The movie’s been getting pretty good reviews. If I had never heard of the comic book by Mark Millar & JG Jones, then I would probably have liked this movie a lot more. I’d call it a good, bloody, wacky summer action flick and would easily recommend it. It’s a fun shoot-em-up movie, in and of itself.
But I am a fan of the comic, and as an adaptation of Millar’s story this movie is piss-poor. Where is Mr. Rictus? Where are all the zany supervillains? Where’s all of the comic booky stuff? And Angelina Jolie as Fox? I mean, I don’t have anything against Angelina Jolie, but I think the role could have been better cast. Or at least give Angelina some ears to wear. I will say that I like the slightly tweaked final beat they do in the movie better than the final beat of the comic. I think Millar sort of jumped the shark with that last panel and the movie keeps the same basic spirit and makes it a smidge more personable… but I think I’m splitting hairs.
I’m conflicted. As I said: In and of itself, Wanted is a fine summer popcorn action flick. Fans of the comic, however, will be highly disappointed. No Mr. Rictus? Seriously?
Buy the book here…

Why am I having this recurring vision of E.T. Atari 2600 cartridges, piled high in the desert?
Strange…
…but, anyway, I’m pleased to announce that we’ve done a 2nd run of The Grand Horror on DVD and the movie is once again available for ordering.

I’m setting up some affiliate pages with Amazon.com so that you can buy junk through Dead Lantern. Basically the way it works is: if you order something from Amazon.com and you click to their site through our links, we’ll get a couple pennies.
I’m not going to beat anyone over the head with it. Panhandling is always annoying, even when done electronically 
But if you were going to order something from Amazon anyway, you could do us a favor and check out our links. There’s a shopping page that currently has a search box, and a separate custom store that focuses on horror DVDs. I hope to tweak these, get them looking a little better.
