The trailer for the new version of Wicker Man is far, far, oh yea very far, very very far from promising.

As for N. Cage, I think he is very capable in the right role (Leaving Las Vegas was the right role), but I'm puzzled how he'll make out in this one. Pity Jack Nicholson is too old and wicked.

All the pagans I know (Canadian) are not at all scary, and they paid me very decently to play at their get-together! Ten or so years ago I said "there's a pagan under every flat rock here in Lanark County", but I think that, like the Celtic Scare of the 90's, the Pagan Scare is kind of over. What's left is some very pleasant persons who like to get together in the woods and do their clothing-optional thing.

W-O
