- Time Out put together a strange and wonderful list of the 100 Best Horror Films. Nathaniel Rogers' commentary and the comment section make it worth exploring here. The Film Experience
- NSFW: The new Penny Arcade really captures the level of manipulation that goes on when serious gamers take on board games. Sympathy never works. Penny Arcade
- Apparently, The Hunger Games is still dominating at the US Box Office. Here are the other recent films to manage four #1 weeks in a row. Pajiba
- A Serbian Film is one of those horror films you watch just to say you made it through. This one in particular is compared to the Aristocrats joke. It's pointless beyond the shock. Now the real uncut version is getting a US release, inappropriate contact with a baby included. I'm...not sure I can go through it again just for that. Fangoria
- Kimberley Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) might manage to make the latest Carrie adaptation something worth watching. Carrie is nothing without believable character development. Shock Till You Drop
- Yeah, yeah. This happened a week ago on Mad Men. It still makes me smile. It's a nice palate cleanser after all the horror news.
- One time, I'll remember to get my content finished for a LAMB theme. Here's a wide array of content inspired by Inglourious Basterds. I'm sure I'll get around to that German mountain film write-up eventually. LAMB
- It appears the difference between loving and hating Peter and the Starcatcher on Broadway is how willing you are to accept theater as spectacle with low tech effects in a big house. How War Horse got near-universal raves for doing the same with high tech puppets is beyond me. It's not like War Horse had a particularly sophisticated plot or characters (at all). Broadway World
Finally, I'm serving double videos today. Why? I can't choose between the two.
First, Sketchy Details favorite Kyary Pamyu Pamyu has a new video called "Candy Candy." It's delightful. It also has a chorus entirely in English, so now you can sing more than just the title if you don't speak Japanese.
And not officially named Sketchy Details favorite Ve Neill was interviewed about the Capitol makeup in The Hunger Games. I knew they intentionally downplayed Effie's look at the Reaping to ease the audience into the shock of the Capitol's bizarre couture.
