    Gui AJ seems to have cut that nonsense out. As you've pointed out though Marcus, others have taken over his mantle...

    Werewolves have been somewhat neglected of late, only appearing in films to fight vampires. Hope this is an R-rated horror and not some sort watered down kiddie film or a comedy.

    the sunny disposition that radiates from danny elfman's music gives me gas.

    but he does quality work, so okay.
