- The Twelve Days of Zombie Christmas. This one’s mostly for Heather, but hey, who doesn’t like holiday zombies?
- I haven’t revisited It’s a Wonderful Life in years, but it always did seem just as heartwarming as people claimed to me. Maybe I was wrong.
- A game that lets you design your own levels with pen and paper? It looks neat. If I had a webcam, I might even give it a try. [via]
- “The Fox network is developing Bitches, a dramedy about a quartet of female friends in New York who are werewolves…” Yeah, this will end well.
- Speaking of Fox, Yahoo reports that with Alan Colmes’ departure, Sean Hannity to become solo act at Fox News. So nothing new then, huh? [via]
I can appreciate “It’s a Wonderful Life” for two reasons — it’s technically well-made and it’s actually darker than most American film “classics” (which tend toward the syrupy side). However, I think it’s an awful movie with an awful message about killing your dreams and narrowing your horizons.
I loved ‘Gift of the Zombi.’ Perhaps ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ could be revamped with a zombie invasion thrown in for good measure…
Even if you take “It’s a Wonderful Life” at face value – as an uplifting, heartwarming tale of how much good one man can do for his community – you still have to face the fact that not all of us own the town bank, and helped people acquire their homes or businesses, or (to quote that link) single-handedly “help bring manufacturing” to our town.
