Yup, I'm pretty sure kids will love it. There's nothing more sexual than 
a kiss, and nothing more scary than they'd see on Doctor Who.

I was surprised when I heard they were gonna try that one. It'll be 
pretty hard to pull off. One thing I think would help is scenes harking 
back to The Ancient One as in David Carradine's old Kung Fu TV series.

All the psychedelia though is going to make it much harder to get the 
audience to engage with a human story. I'm certainly prepared to be 
impressed though.
