Dear Mr. Tim Burton, Sir:

If it wouldn’t trouble you terribly, please do direct MALIFICENT, the “dark” retelling of SLEEPING BEAUTY that is reportedly on your “maybe” list right now. While the idea of retelling a popular tale from the perspective of the wicked female villain is not altogether original, nobody has cast Ms. Angelina Jolie in such a tale before.

This is highly advisable.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Malificent (with lovable animal sidekick): misunderstood?

Angelina Jolie: closet goth girl, seen here without raven

Sleeping Beauty: seen here, lazy and repugnant

First, the video game mind controller. Now this: A machine that identifies “memory traces” in your brain’s hypocampus.

Translation: “Yeek! It can read my mind!”

What next? Only SkyNet knows for sure.

On a not-entirely-unrelated note, Christopher Nolan’s big-budget INCEPTION is looking mighty fine. “Your Mind Is the Scene of the Crime.”

“Do you have ESP or a sixth sense? Are you clairvoyant? Are you a medium? Are you psychic?”

If so, MTV wants YOU, but only if you’re between the ages of 16 – 25 (and really drunk all the time, if their other programs are any indication).

But you already knew all of that, didn’t you, Psychic Friends?
