Stumbled on this the other night searching for something different on Netflix: My Awkward Sexual Adventure

The acting wasn't great, but it was a fun script. 3/5 stars.

Finally watched my TCM recording of "Chimes at Midnight". Orson Welles sure could stage the hell out of a battle sequence.

The Giants have agreed to sign shortstop Lucius Fox to an approximately $6.5MM bonus, Jesse Sanchez of MLB.com reports on Twitter. Fox, who’ll officially sign out of the Bahamas, entered the July 2 period as a consensus top-five prospect.

Couldn't determine if this is baseball or movie related.

I don't find this that strange. Lots of precedent for respected directors either adapting children's books or making original children's movies. Hugo, The Witches, Secret Garden, Where the Wild Things Are, etc... Alfonso Cuaron directed The Little Princess early on, and later the third Harry Potter movie.

Guillermo Del Toro was developing a live action Pinocchio which would have been creepy and excellent, I'm sure. I guess that's probably not happening now.
