As any fanboy knows, the Watchman's Rorschach's mask changes patterns based on his emotions. In this behind the scenes exclusive, the visual effects wizards reveal how they are able to accomplish this trick so you'll be able to enthrall your friends with your acumen at the comic books store.

I'd rather drink acid than watch the Academy Awards. Why so serious? Short answer: there's no horror film category. Don't horror movies merit Oscars? If animated films get a category than why not one for freaking scary movies?
Watching the premiere episode of the Dollhouse reminds me the classic Two Coyote Ugly joke in which a guy is willing to gnaw off both arms in case the ugly girl comes looking for a one armed man, except in Dollhouse case there's no more need to be chewing off limbs when the ready solution is to just have the girl's memory erased.
Yep, wipe her memory clean and then give her a new memory for her next big assignment: doctor, lawyer, Indian chief. You get the picture, in fact it's a premise ripped from the pages of Phillip Dicks' Total Recall with a little Six Million Dollar Man meets La Femme Nikita. The problem is I doubt television viewers are going to be willing to tune in and watch a character who is a different personality every week no matter how much skin they flash, sorry Pam Anderson.
The best thing about Dollhouse is that might distract you long enough to forget that you're not out on a Friday night. Although I'm sure my 12-year old brother and his mutant friends will gladly tune in for some gratuitous T&A but I doubt this was the demographic advertises are trying to reach.
Smart money says you may wanna forgo the eyestrain and just forget about this one all together. After all, the last Fox Friday Nite hit was X-Files before the dawn of the Tivo. Meanwhile, this Banshee won't be adding a Tivo season pass for Dollhouse, in fact, given the show's limited potential, I doubt it will run more than 13 episodes.

Looks like Hollywood has responded rather quickly to my post "Can Jason Save Movies?" by harvesting some Spanish gold:
"The Hitcher" scribe Jake Wade Wall has written a remake of the 1987 Spanish horror film "Anguish."
The 1987 Bigas Luna terror follows two girls who, while watching a scary film, finds themselves in a horror movie of their own when their life starts to echo the film's plot.
Wall is writing the adapted screenplay for Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures. No director has been signed on yet.
