OMG, I hadn't been over the the Nilly review site in a while. I LOVE the clock counting down the time until the big damn movie.

Just watched Dodgeball on DVD.

Ditto.

Alan Tudyk is a hoot as Dread Pirate Steve.

What he said.

I went to my local music/dvd shop today to buy the box set as a birthday present for a friend (whose birthday is Monday and I left it FAR too late, seeing as how she lives in Scotland, but that's another story). I'd bought my own copy there, and saw it on the shelf last time I went in, so I didn't think I'd have any trouble. It really was my last resort as I'd been all around the city centre yesterday looking for it and no where had it. Which annoyed me in any number of ways, as you can imagine. It wasn't out on the shelf, so I went to ask the guy if they had it. He told me they'd sold out their last two copies in the last fortnight. Which, y'know, great. But, he also started telling me that it was a great show, and did I know about the movie? And that all the staff in the show had bought their own copies and loved it, and had orders in for it constantly. I didn't think I'd ever find Firefly fans in Ireland that I hadn't created. I was so excited I ended up chatting to the guy for nearly an hour. And I still don't have my friend's present. Mixed emotions, to say the least.

Yes, but even as a belated present, you've got a winner, don't you?

Joss posted today in the Whedonesque thread about the Serenity prequel graphic novel. It will be a three-issue mini-series, written by Joss and Brett Matthews, drawn by a guy I don't know but the art looks wonderful. The first one comes out in July, for my birthday.

Joss sez:

Hey, It's me -- or an incredible simulation! Still recovering from that intense Wondercon experience I had in the near future. And that fun announcement about the Serenity comic that I made... if you're a comic book geek such as my own self, you were SO psyched. If you're not, you dozed off. But I definitely have something up my sleeve... it's an arm! a hideous arm! Get it off me!

Drugs. The boy is on serious, bigtime drugs.

Where can I get some of those drugs?

I thought you were on drugs. Just not the fun ones.

Hey Gus! What you been up to?

I've been a busy, busy boy, David.

Doing boring, boring stuff.

It takes time, boring stuff.

However, it allows you funds to buy interesting drugs.

If you can find any.

Yeah, I get that. In Matt Groening's all too apt description of work: "They made me do stuff I didn't particularly want to do."

JZ and I went dancing last weekend to a club that only played mashups. I thought it would feel super 21st century and cyberpunk cool. It was actually more like a frat party with lots oldies. But cooler because they were mashed together in interesting ways. On the plus side - there were more ridiculously beautiful women there than I think I've ever seen at a San Francisco club.

One woman had an anime body - tiny rib cage, big rack. And she was pretty too. Also, they had boy and girl go-go dancers, which is always fun. However, it would've been more fun if they danced in cages suspended over the dance floor, which is the natural habitat for the go-go dancer.

Did she have huge eyes? If not, then she was evil.

Not anime huge. They weren't bigger than say, a clementine. She may well have been evil, but that was overshadowed by the go-go girl wearing giant red sequined platform boots and red glitter eye makeup. She just looked more evil.
