#ScreamOrder

Not the order to watch them in—chronological makes sense, there’s no skip ‘n pick Heather trilogy here—but from best on down, for me:

Scream 3 Poster Design Concepts

Which I guess would be “Kevin Williamson order,” kind of? He is the one with the magic pen for this franchise. Anyway, when Scre4m came out, I wasn’t so hot on it, as I recall. Few rewatches later and I’m a believer. And I don’t mean to talk bad about 3, of course; Ehren Kr…

Can’t Wait for This One

James Roday’s Gravy is one of the very, very good ones, I mean. Right up there with Murder Party, even. Fingers crossed this is more of the same:

Submitted for Your Approval

Very excited. What would really be cool was if this update found a way to do some version of “It’s a Good Life.” But, too, looks like there’s plenty of cool already going on:

Too, I keep all these covers, most with links, over on the Anthos page.

And, case you maybe missed them, the two just before this, which is the same thing: one in-(my)hand, one on the way:…
