Does Dave McKean do Gaiman's book covers?
Run, don't walk, and get a copy of Dave McKean's Cages. About 450 pages of super-wonderful stuff.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Speaking of Neil, anyone want to read the script treatment for "Sandman" written nine years ago?
Roger Avary, who co-wrote the new Beowulf with Neil after this, was set to direct. The script's an amusing read for a while but starts to get bad fast. It's a collage of bits from the first four Sandman collections, with much of the dialogue quoted verbatim. The overall story is interestingly-adapted (I'd have said well-adapted but for the dropoff in quality in the third act) but the actual working parts need more than a polish to function properly. Mostly it feels like the writers just really wanted to incorporate as much of the Sandman 'verse as possible, without concern for whether it was useful for the story to do so. Very glad this script didn't get filmed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I finally watched Infernal Affairs.
Damn, that was lovely stuff.

I think it's funny that the "Why are the Brits always villains?" conversation is happening on the 4th of July.
Ummm, should I be ashamed to admit I saw Bats again? Also, interestingly the theatre was pretty full and on a Sunday afternoon.
I'm very very happy that Plei FINALLY got to see it.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
Cable, which is not free, has no commercials.
Unless it's Australian pay-tv. To get a decent package you'd pay close to $100 a month, then you have to put up with commercials. Not sure if it is on every channel but I know there are some that show regular commercials the same as free-to-air.

Cable here isn't free and has ads too. It's the premium channels that are theoretically ad free, but I'm betting HBO gets something from their sneak peeks at upcoming movies.

From IMDB:
Brett Ratner is spicing up the new X-Men 3 movie with the addition of his very own fantasy - a sex siren mutant who seduces her opponents rather than battles them. Ratner takes over from departing director Bryan Singer, who made the first two movies, and the Rush Hour film maker is determined to leave his mark on the comic book series. The new mutant has not yet been cast but unknowns Kate Nauta and Aya Sumika will reportedly audition. A source tells Pagesix.com the mutant will be, "An unbelievably hot and sexy hooker. Her super power is that she secretes a pheromone that helps her to seduce men. She can seduce anyone." The source adds of the auditions, "They are open to all ethnicities who are in their early-to-mid 20s."

The description of the new mutant reminds me sadly of Dark Angel.

I thought Max was part cat or something. Did she exude hot and sexy feline pheromones?
