Please to appreciate Burton’s twist on ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, and its Halloweenland evolution – both narrated by Christopher Lee.

Two old guys, a Manhattan apartment building, the New Yorker font.
I’m one episode in, on the Hulu. Looks promising.

For the Sophisticated Bastard
I had never seen a single episode of this show, and didn’t know much about it when some friends dragged me to the first movie.
It was glorious, I was crying within ten minutes, and felt like I got a workout from laughing so hard.
Will This Suck?
Who cares, you’re already paying for Netflix. Coming May 21!
From filmmaker Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen, Zack Snyder’s Justice League), ARMY OF THE DEAD takes place following a zombie outbreak that has left Las Vegas in ruins and walled off from the rest of the world. When Scott Ward (Dave Bautista), a former zombie war hero who’s now flipping burgers on the outskirts of the town he now calls home, is approached by casino boss Bly Tanaka (Hiroyuki Sanada), it’s with the ultimate proposition: break into the zombie-infested quarantine zone to retrieve $200 million sitting in a vault beneath the strip before the city is nuked by the government in 32 hours. With little left to lose, Ward takes on the challenge, assembling a ragtag team of experts for the heist. With a ticking clock, a notoriously impenetrable vault, and a smarter, faster horde of Alpha zombies closing in, only one thing’s for certain in the greatest heist ever attempted: survivors take all.
Just Watch
Terrifying.
Dooooon!
Not sure what the quota is for remakes (at least #4, I think) but this looks fun. I rarely watch 1983 Dune, because Lynch has such distaste for it, but I caught the first 30 minutes the other day, and thought those sequences were amazing.

I’m all for Daniel Craig. Skyfall is one of my favorite films of the last ten years. Fleabag was brought in to liven up this script. Bodes well.
Coming… Eventually?
I quite enjoyed all three seasons of Fargo. Somehow there’s a trailer out for Season 4, despite an interrupted filming schedule.
Coming Soon
”somewhere between a teen magazine and Mad magazine and a hard rock magazine”
Documentary out this week!
