Weird Things That Bug Me

crossover_chickI've been looking at the Alice: Madness Returns teaser again. I cannot get over the fact that her hair color's wrong. Or, at least, it looks that way. Alice in the original game had dark red hair, more of a reddish-brown in the trailer/official art. The Alice of Madness returns has what looks like black hair. IT BUGS ME.
-HD: Are her eyes the same color, at least?-
I don't know yet. Most of the screenshots are from behind Alice's back, the one that shows her face doesn't give you a good look at it, and in the trailer, by the time her eyes come out of shadow the blood gushing out of her mouth has pretty much taken over the screen, so. . . . Hmph.
Along those lines as well is Cracked.com's latest attempt to suck all the joy out of BTTF. I swear, I'm dreading seeing this movie in any of their articles or videos, because everybody there seems to consider the movie the most depressing thing on the planet. Lorraine and George are probably gonna break up over Marty, the movie's inadvertently racist, the ending sucks because of the new "happy" family -- I'm honestly tired of it. Does nobody there actually ENJOY the movie? (Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm sure they keep sticking it in their articles because they do like the movie. I think I prefer Yahtzee, misanthrope extraordinaire, giving the trilogy a pass on the "all sequels end up sucking" clause.)
Aaand all I'm doing is making myself upset, aren't I? Maybe I'll play some pinball to relieve my annoyance. On the plus side of today, I got two new movies for cheap because the Blockbuster near our house is going out of business: Chicken Run (which I own the VHS of, but I wanted the special features) and Coraline. Still looking for Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs -- it's hard, sometimes, finding the "good version" -- here defined as the version with the most special features. Damn double dips. . . .
