Hold me.

IT was a game-show host, for God's sake, and Charles Wallace looked like he did Welch's Juice commercials on the weekends, and where, where were Meg's glasses?

Oh, the wrong. The wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. I hope the producers of A Wrinkle In Disney bounce basketballs in pulsating pain-filled rooms in hell.

Compounding insult with injury, that was.

Oh, and I saw Van Helsing today, but the less said about that, the better. I laughed a whole lot. The best thing about it was the cast laughing at themselves the whole -- wait, you mean they were playing those characters straight? Dressed like that? I thought it was tongue-in-cheek, like Moulin Rouge (which also had Richard Roxburgh, incidentally, and David Wenham in a bit part).

Kate Beckinsale was freakin' hot but damn, she cannot act her way out of a red-embroidered, soaking-wet sack. And, well, David Wenham just makes me find my little bit of hetero and polish it up, no matter how ridiculous his costume.

Hugh Jackman was also in it. He was very pretty.

And tomorrow is Tuesday. Run and scream. Run and scream!

That bad, huh? Glad I missed it.

Some things just should not be attempted. Wrinkle is too philosophical of a book out of which to make a movie. Just read it, people...

It could have been okay, if only they had asked anyone sensible to read over the script and check out the casting. And then listened to the advice they received. I would have done this.

See, hair color, eye color, that doesn't bother me as much as "What the hell have they done to the story?"
(gives nice Mr. Oedipus his brooch back, as no longer has any eyes left to gouge out)
