"Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it."

Stumbled over this whilst bloghopping.

It has David Tennant frolicking around as the most adorable Ghost of Christmas Present ever. I would now like to nominate Samuel Elliott as the Ghost of Christmas Past, and Ron Perlman as the Ghost of Christmas Future. Yes.

And a random thought: Why wasn't Paranormal Activity in 3D? If they can do crappy horror movies in 3D, why not one that's actually supposed to be scary? Why not Alien? Facehuggers in 3D could damage me beyond all repair.

On the other hand, Invader Zim would be so fun in 3D! Or Dark City! And in other 'wouldn't it be cool?' thoughts, I think Pixar's next movie should be The Underneath by Kathi Appelt. It's got everything, sweetness, bittersweetness, cute animals, scary animals, beauty, humor, awe, heartbreak, history, mystery, promises that will not be broken, and the bonds of love and family. Throw in some songs and it's magic!

  1. I think it's because 3-D has a checkered history. We used to go to those movies as kids, but were always losing the glasses, messing around, not really into the movie. The was after 3-D had been around a bit. We tired of it. In the beginning, it was a novelty that faded. Read where Hollywood is cautious about its re-entry.

  2. And now every movie coming out is in 3D! Avatar, Clash of the Titans, Up, etc...

    Invader Zim would make an awesome live action movie as long as the 3D effects were high quality.
