Ha! I was just rereading your Looking Glass Wars post the other day. I guess I'll watch the trailer and make my viewing decision based on the amount of eyeliner they have Alyss in.

I have maintained for years that adding any one of the following pre/suffixes to a noun or noun phrase automatically makes it 10% cooler:
- the musical
- of doom
flaming -

And they can be combined! So to pick an arbitrary noun for an example, let us say, "robot", might produce "Flaming Robots of Doom - the Musical!"

On this note, has anyone acquainted you with Repo! - the Genetic Opera yet?

Yes! I haven't yet seen Repo, but I feel a blog post coming on when I do.
