Let's have a quick linkspam.

@scott_tobias: R.I.P. Ray Harryhausen. A true movie magician, and a master of wondrous, tactile effects that no combination of ones and zeroes can match.

@jenyamato: Here's a little Ray Harryhausen celebration I put together back in 2011, for his 91st birthday.

Plushie Hannibal's suit needs moar plaid.

[cleolinda]

The pocket handkerchief was a nice touch, though.

A Wendigo, of course! This show - they really did their research! I am very impressed, and would like to very much to continue being impressed. Let Hannibal squeak by and get a second season.

Normally I am wary of arts and crafts, but I found this hilarious in spite of myself.

I couldn't leave that alone in the house.

I also tend to resist cutesy chibi versions of villains (well, that's a lie. I loved I Harth Darth), but I find that so funny that I probably could leave it in the house, yeah. Of course, queenanthai once dared me to leave the Edward Cullen doll "staring at me" while I slept, and I not only did so and slept like a baby, I took a picture of it staring at me in the dark just to freak her out.

Now, you get me one of those realistic NECA-style figures (or don't. Please don't) and I would probably keep it in a drawer in a room on a different floor, yeah.

Sore throats suck SO HARD. This freaking cough, man, I don't even. I sound like an old man with a twenty-year, two-pack-a-day habit. Feel better!

[cleolinda]

Yeah, mine's just gotten worse and worse today. I am genuinely thinking about going downstairs and busting into some ice cream here at a midnight. Because crushed ice would be loud and wake everyone up. Yes.

Love how Marion Cotillard and thenewwifefromMadMen see witness Jennifer's photobomb and crack up. Bet the guy hidden behind SJPs crazy hat is laughing too.

[cleolinda]

That seriously warmed my heart, it did.

[kirsdarke]

Just coming here to say that. I love seeing celebrities being people. :-)

Ever see the movie Ravenous? Guy Pearce! Robert Carlyle! Wendigo & Donner Party-inspired homoerotic cannibalism in a period setting! "He was licking me!"

I need to rewatch it...

[serizawa3000]

Ravenous. Yes.

For some odd reason, I thought the "Colqhoun" character was meant to be a nod to Sawney Beane... o_O

[cleolinda]

Oh my God. I remember when it came out but never actually saw it, that's hysterical.
