Deal Sheet: Frankenstein, Jekyll, Tarzan Resurrected

The fantastical filmmaker has been tapped by Universal to helm remakes of Frankenstein and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, per Variety, along with a big-screen adaptation of Charles Dickens' final novel The Mystery of Edwin Drood simply titled Drood, and a new take on Kurt Vonnegut's cult novel Slaughterhouse-Five.

Universal has also committed to another del Toro dream project, a big-screen version of horrormeister H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness. Del Toro will also produce two films for the studio, an adaptation of David Moody's apocalyptic tome Hater and Crimson Peak, a gothic romance del Toro cowrote with his Mimic collaborator Matthew Robbins.

Death Rituals In Mexoco's Yucatan

Heads of 11 killed may have been burned

Mexico suspects ties to 'saint of death' cult that's popular with criminals

MEXICO CITY - The heads of 11 decapitated bodies discovered in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula last week may have been burned in a ritual, investigators said.

Police said they found an altar to the skeletal figure of the "Santa Muerte," an unofficial patron saint of death, in the home of two men arrested in connection with the slayings, while several scorched spots were discovered in a nearby clearing.

Police suspect the heads were burned in the clearing, according to a statement from the Public Safety Department. The department did not say what evidence it had to support that theory. Public Safety officials declined to give further details Monday, citing an ongoing investigation.

Twisting Christianity Into War + -

I think America has developed its own Christian cult in which war and Jesus are for some strange reason able to co-exist in the same sentence. Preachers like John Hagee and Pat Robertson have no qualms in supporting violence. They are like our own backward Mullahs calling for Jihad.

[Video]

What's disturbing is how they claim to associate with Jesus.

Jesus put back the cut off ear of a Roman soldier that was taking him away to die. That's how serious he was about his love for everyone. Yet here we have men calling on His name and then saying "let's kill, let's assassinate"

We are not the only ones seeing this hypocrisy:

Maccoby closely analyzes the evidence to argue persuasively that Paul personally, radically and very creatively re-interpreted the life of the historical Jesus in order to have a foundation for a brand new mystery religion he himself conceived, heavily influenced by contemporary ancient mystery religions such as the cult of Baal-Taraz after whom Paul’s hometown of Tarsus was named.

11 heads in Mexico burned in death ritual?

The heads of 11 decapitated bodies discovered in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula last week may have been burned in a ritual, investigators said.

The Santa Muerte is one of several unofficial folk saints worshipped in Mexico. The cult has become popular among criminals in Mexico who appeal to the "saint" — not recognized by the Roman Catholic Church — to stay safe and out of jail. Law-abiding worshippers simply seek favors or intercession.

'Let victims' families close suicide tribute websites'

Families of suicide victims should be able to demand the immediate shutdown of the victim's pages on social networking websites

families had been deeply upset when images posted on sites such as Bebo were removed and published in the media.

Families were saying that photographs they had never seen before of their own child were suddenly on the front of a newspaper, causing them huge distress,

A youth walks past the sign for the Samaritans in Bridgend in Wales where a number of teenage suicides have taken place

She said that terms and conditions of social networking sites should include a clause that allows families to close pages that cause distress.

In the past 20 months, 23 young people have taken their own lives in Bridgend; some of them were still teenagers.

The MP also claimed that irresponsible coverage could have contributed to imitative deaths in Bridgend.

I support Obama on Issues, not because of the Cult of Personality

clipper's remarks: I don't worship Barak Obama. I don't think he's a savior, or even an angel. Although the novelty of him being a "black" president is entertaining, I don't really care about that either. (Honestly, it seems a little strange that we are so self-congratulatory over 'voting for a black man,' as if that should be really impressive somehow.)

Why do I support Barak Obama? Because of all the people running for President, I believe he has the best ideas on what direction our country needs to take. I would like to see much of his platform made into reality, and because of that, I will vote for him.

I don't want to waste all our time arguing of personal slights and vauge rumors. Let's get to the issues. Here is why I support Barak Obama:

Clip Source: www.barackobama.com

Renewing American Diplomacy

Talk to our Foes and Friends: Obama is willing to meet with the leaders of all nations, friend and foe. He will do the careful preparation necessary, but will signal that America is ready to come to the table, and that he is willing to lead. And if America is willing to come to the table, the world will be more willing to rally behind American leadership to deal with challenges like terrorism, and Iran and North Korea's nuclear programs.

Clip Source: www.barackobama.com

Restore Our Alliances

Organize to Help Our Partners and Allies in Need: An Obama administration will expand humanitarian activities that build friends and allies at the regional and local level (such as during the response to the tsunami in South and Southeast Asia), and win hearts and minds in the process.

Religious Group Starves Toddler for Not Saying "Amen"

Ramkissoon and four others identified by police as members of a cult called 1 Mind Ministries are charged with first-degree murder in the death of Javon Thompson. Members did not seek medical care for Javon when he stopped breathing, and the boy died in his mother's arms, according to court documents that described police interviews with a confidential informant and two children. He would have been about 19 months old when police say adults stopped feeding him in December 2006. ...Another unnamed informant told police that after Javon died, Antoinette left the boy's body in a room for more than a week, claiming "God was going to raise Javon from the dead," the documents show.

It might sound absurd to say that God would raise this child from the dead, but it's no more absurd than believing that Jesus rose from the dead.

Clip Source: blogs.laweekly.com

A pop flashpoint of artistry, influence and inspiration from lovers of all things cult cinema, Crazy 4 Cult is back for seconds at Gallery 1988 in Hollywood. The sophomore effort - "This Time It's Personal" - opened on Friday night to a packed room and a long queue of pop cult-savvy geeks trailing down Melrose, eager for a look at the cornucopia of pieces that make up the 2008 selection. Some artists returning from last year's line up and some are making their debut, with an astoundingly creative, multimedia selection of tributes to heroes, villains and cult flick idols, from Harold and Maude to Walter and The Dude, Barbarella, Galaxina, and the many (many...many...) faces of Johnny Depp. Kevin Smith and his producing partner Scott Mosier were again on hand to host the event. (And in Smith's case, have his face turn up in a least half a dozen incarnations.)

Dear Jenny,

Thank you! Thankyouthankyou thank YOU!

You see, my medical education had a few gaps. I was unfortunate enough to do my training during the last couple of decades, which means I never saw measles, pertussis, polio, and many other vaccine-preventable diseases.

Well, last year, I saw three cases of pertussis! Sweet! And it looks like, if I play my cards right, I may get to see some measles.

If I were in charge of awards for medical education, I'd give you one. But, alas, I'm not. I guess we'll have to find some other way to honor all your hard work, education, and expertise. I mean, my four years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, and 3 years of residency can't hold a candle to your experience as a Mommy Warrior. I wish we could just bottle that. Or perhaps isolate it in northern Idaho.

Connecting the Number 23 to Heaven's Gate and the Unicarious Cult

It is rather interesting that many of life’s discoveries are connected in one way or another. This is a connection based on my personal research of three subjects that have rocked the world to its core.

By 1975, they had developed the "Total Overcomers Anonymous" which later became "Heaven's Gate." They originally recruited 21 people and with them included that makes 23.
