He should have been cast in the movie

I won't go on and on (again) about how perfect Hugh Panaro is. I've already done that.

Has anyone else played Dead Space 2?

I'm just wondering how many other people had a delayed reaction to the beginning of the game that ended up causing them to die.

They're not screwing around. "Give them time to get used to the game? No way. Let's just throw EVERYTHING at them and surprise them by making them play in a STRAIGHTJACKET."

I love it. It's terrifying, but so worth it from what I've played so far.

My only small complaint is that it's very easy to miss when the chapter changes. I didn't realize chapter 1 was over until chapter 3. But actually...Maybe that's a good thing. It transitions smoothly instead of forcing Isaac to get on a tram between every chapter.

There was no way to narrow this list down

I love movies. Not in an "Oh, this is a great way to kill time!" kind of way. I love the stories. The cinematography. The acting. The soundtracks. All the hard work that goes into them. I love them for many different reasons. And because I find so much to love about the movies I enjoy, it's really difficult to narrow my favorites down to a Top Five list. I had trouble just getting it down to a Top Fifteen, to be honest.

I keep revisiting this topic

I love The Little Mermaid, it's my favorite Disney movie. So when I found out it was going to be on Broadway, I was really excited. (Until Broadway went on strike and I ended up missing the show because of it.)

I've said repeatedly that Sierra Boggess wasn't right for the part of Ariel when The Little Mermaid was still on Broadway. Most of that comes from the fact that I heard the demo album before the show's cast was even announced, and Kerry Butler recorded it. Kerry is, by far, my favorite stage actress. And her voice was so perfect for Ariel. As I've said a thousand times now, Sierra is much more suited for the role of Christine in Phantom of the Opera/Love Never Dies.

As many times as I've said this, I don't remember ever posting the songs for comparison. So here they are.

Okay, Tim Gunn. You've really done it this time.

You can see why I was mad at my students who told me they couldn't find inspiration! I don't care if your list leans away from campy cult classics and period dramas toward, say, zombie movies or bromances or video games. Any genre, any film, any book can be the jumping-off point for amazing creative work. As long as we have Netflix, Turner Classic Movies, Amazon, YouTube, and bookstores, there is no excuse ever to lack inspiration.

I want to see all of that in the next season of Project Runway.
