Will Splice Finally Make the World Safe for Adorable Plush Mutant Dolls?

We all know what the Muppets did for Joe Biden, but what might a wincingly cute monster doll do for the new thriller Splice? How about making it the most adorable bloodthirsty genetic freak in movie history? Seriously, as evinced by actress Delphine Chanéac at this week's Los Angeles premiere, nothing beats a well-placed plush mutant -- particularly one that grows up to become perhaps a little too intimate with its creators/default parents. Even Robert Downey Jr. showed up, and he was the second cuddliest creature on the carpet. OK -- third cuddliest, after Joel Silver and Dren the Plush Monster. Where's mine, Warners? [IMDB]
