Sadly...

The trailer is out for the upcoming Johnny Depp movie Mortdecai, based on the 1970s series of comic novels by Kyril Bonfiglioli. The movie looks absolutely terrible, but I had my hopes up about the books, seeing as A) they appear to be a parody of the Jeeves and Wooster stories, and B) the third is called Something Nasty in the Woodshed, which I assume is a reference to my beloved Cold Comfort Farm. Now, I love Jeeves and Wooster, and any nod to Cold Comfort goes a long way with me, but the Internet informs me that this particular book is a comedy about a serial rapist, and I just can't embrace that, you know?
