retro_eidasI thought this was cool, an indie adaptation of Lovecraft's The Call of Cthulhu ... in silent movie form". I am a sucker for the whole German Expressionist / The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari look... and the movie makers stayed pretty faithful to said look. Even caking their actors in tons of black eyeliner to make them look all ghostly/gaunt/fawpy. Yay!
I think I might have to get one of these. I don't know what's with Alan Moore movies that don't translate well into movies (From Hell had Johnny Depp in it too... how do you mess that up?) ... but... deco!!
Also, it's Ghibli Thursday again tonight on TCM. The dubbed Only Yesterday (8pmE) and Pom Poko (10:15pmE), the subbed versions will air after. The movies were directed by Isao Takahata who also did Grave of the Fireflies, although the movies have little resemblance between each other (all good though!).

Of course I say that mostly out of fangirling the games... but it's about time some vid-game movie came out somewhere near decent. Uwe Boll certainly isn't doing them any favors.

I kind of keep missing the show of late. I've been getting distracted weeknights. However... I'm also not that angsty about missing the eps .... what does that say?
