Wednesday's (alternative) Friday Five:

Friends, be filled with joy. For I have made for you,

I'm making this up. And I think you should all do and it credit me.
I'm a glutton for LJ credit of one kind or another.
And now, without further ado:

Now you you, and disperse my beautiful meme throughout the Internet.
or you know...don't if you don't feel like it.

June sixth will be here before ya know it!!

As I've mentioned in the past, I don't typically have a knee-jerk reaction against movie sequels. Even beloved horror movies can have excellent and entertaining remakes.

However...

I was not amused when I heard of plans to turn my oft-watched and highly reguarded The Omen into some kind of (presumably) PG13 crapfest. Obviously, I became quite concerned.

Later...

I saw who was cast. Liev Schreiber?!? Michael Gambon?!?
David Thewlis!! Mia Farrow?!? My hopes grew.
It was all too exciting. But what of the boy? What if it's some dorky whiney kid and I hate him? That would just kill it no matter how good everyone else is.

And then...

The Trailer.

I'm not worried about this movie anymore. This trailer is creepy as shit. For Serious. It's scary, which you will notice when you watch it. Scary. In fact, I think they should take this kid they are using and put him into a high quality remake of The Innocents quick before he grows up.

Speaking of The Omen, why haven't the 30 second bunny people done it yet?
