Why Are There No Action Figures Of Pyramid Head?

As eva_kasumi is dropping briefly into the UK, I met up with her today (after probably-not-terribly-surreptitiously walking past her several times in the tube station, thinking ...is that her? She has got an American accent, but there are many Americans in the world. I NEED TO STOP MEETING PEOPLE WITHOUT ANY VISUAL REFERENCE, having previously severely unnerved some poor girl who was waiting for her boyfriend by staring and wondering whether she was the one I was supposed to be meeting), and we spent many enjoyable hours wandering around London and chatting about videogames. She spent some time explaining Shadow Hearts: Covenant, which sounded like a really rather bizarre game ("So she makes you fight a boss, and this boss is a giant, fluffy pink kitten called Andre..."); I retaliated by telling her about Girls and Corpses, the rather alarming magazine we discovered in Forbidden Planet during a topgearslash meet. (I couldn't actually show it to her because all of the copies were sold out, which I think may be the most frightening thing of all.)

We also watched Enchanted, because she hadn't seen it; it was the second viewing for me, but I did not mind at all because Enchanted is made entirely of lunacy and happiness. For evidence, watch this clip, which is just one of the best things I've ever seen. And the ending still almost makes me cry, because I am ridiculous.

But I do wish I hadn't written that paragraph immediately after the Girls and Corpses one, because now I am thinking of Enchanted with zombies, and that would have made it a much less happy film.

James Marsden is still John Barrowman, by the way.
