Want so incredibly much!

Okay, here's something you may not know about me: While I do adore horror, I simply cannot stand Wes Craven. Not only do I think he's the worst for women by far of the biggies (Carpenter, romero, etc.), while the others apologize for it, he gets away with saying how edgy his treatment of the fairer sex is because he's a slick talker. So imagine my surprise when I actually found myself almost spraining something squeeing over the trailer for the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. Come on, Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy?! Can it get any freaking better?! I think he's about the only person in existence I'd accept replacing Robert England. And there's Katie Cassidy (wall and ceiling death! Kick ass!), Kyle Gallner (Johnny Depp's part!) and Rooney Mara (Kate's little sister) to sweeten the deal. Oh yeah, I'm excited!

Peace, Ghani

NIIIIIIIIIIICE! Mostly for the JEH factor. ;) But yes, that actually looks like it's going to be pretty awesome. I never say that about remakes, but whoa. What a trailer, is all I can say!

At least it is a remake and not just 'Freddy kills s'more people' like the Friday the 13th alleged remake was; it was exciting to recognize stuff from the original film as well as seeing the new actors in those roles. And, look, it's Clancy Brown at the beginning lynching Freddy--even in secondary, and third and fourth tier roles, they got awesome actors!

JEH just looks... so terrifying! Eeee, I'm all excited now! Plus, hey, you get to see Katie Cassidy horribly killed, mehehe! Oh, I know you don't harbor the grudge I still so because you weren't as big a Ruby fan as I was, but I must admit to a bit of satisfaction, hehehe! Plus, I'm weird 'cause I like seeing the actors I like getting the good deaths! xP

Clancy Brown...he of "Earth 2," aka one of many TV shows killed before its time. Coolness! It makes me kinda wish that they'd cast Debrah Farentino in there someplace, perhaps as Marge Thompson. Brown and Farentino on "Earth 2" showed that chemistry can occur in the most unlikely pairings.

Yes, that Clancy Brown, also of the other equally tragically short-lived and brilliant Carnivale, where he revealed that, alas, the ginger curls are gone, but were replaced by a very classy and classic silver! Mmmm... Ahem. Devon/Danziger Otp 4 EVER! Seriously, they had some amazing chemistry, and I just love Debrah Farentino as an actress and can't remember seeing her in anything of late, which is a real shame!

(Damn, I wish I had some of my Earth 2 icons on hand...)
