Transylvania 6-5000

Perhaps only .01% of the population should have to watch "Transylvania 6-5000" sober, and I have already done so for everyone with any connection to this blog. It's supposed to be a comedy where--in "Scooby Doo" fashion but without the charm--the horror creatures all have rational explanations.

Jeff Goldblum is cast as Jack Harrison, a role mercifully less annoying than his Dr. Ian Malcom from "Jurassic Park," and Ed Begley Jr. plays his co-tabloid-journalist partner, Gil Turner. Bright spots are Carol Kane as Lupi and Geena Davis as Odette, though I have no idea how either of them ended up in this movie.

Thanks to DMF for letting me know about Steady Beat, an upcoming manga comic set here in glorious Austin.
