[This is not Burning Man] [1]
Wierd timing. About two weeks ago I saw “The Wicker Man” [2], a movie made in 1972 about a Christian cop investigating a missing child on an island of pagans.
Today, via Mike Sterling's Progressive Ruin [3], I learn that Hollywood has a remake of The Wicker Man [4], staring Nicolas Cage [5], that is darker, bloodier and probably more “scarier” than the original (but alas, it looks like with much less nudity).
And the only thing I can ask is “Why?”
