In Which I Bitch About A Free Newspaper In Canada.

Jonathan Busch at Vue Weekly (Edmonton’s 100% Independent News & Entertainment Weekly)just reviewed the recent vampire movie. The headline? 30 DAYS OF NIGHT TAKES GRAPHIC NOVEL FILMS OUT OF THE FAN-BOY GHETTO.

My usual bitching about how utterly unnecessary comic book movies are aside, I’m pretty sure that Road to Perdition and Ghost World and A History of Violence did that before this vampire schlock movie did. Sorry, Jonathan and/or whoever wrote that idiotic headline, but Oscar nominations mean more (maybe just a bit, but still) than the fact that Josh Hartnett maybe wasn’t as wooden he has been in previous performances.

I know things are sometimes a bit slow to reach Alberta, but surely somebody there has a DVD player.
