The weird thing about that sitcom clip about the vampire, werewolf and ghost is that it looks kind of good.
although this just may be more proof of my theory that everything is approximately 7 times funnier when said in a British accent…
“New sitcom brings together a vampire, werewolf and ghost under one roof. Worst. Show. Ever.”
Or, or, or, maybe… Best. Show. Ever.
I think it’s great that the only Canadian news link is about Queen’s. Way to spread the propaganda G-Star! : )
I’m a little nervous about The Watchmen. It looks great, but they all look too young. Also, what does a piece that captures the hopelessness and paranoia and fear of the 80′s (brilliantly), have to say in an “Obama world”?
I mean, a giant alien to unite the world rings differently post 9/11, no?
