Oh, yay:

Suggesting that next month's release of the sixth Star Wars film, The Revenge of the Sith, will amount only to "the end of the beginning," as Churchill once remarked, George Lucas has told Celebration III, a Star Wars convention in Indiana, that he plans to carry the sci-fi battles further -- on television. He indicated that he has immediate plans to start an animated series of half-hour shows that will be produced in 3D, to be followed by a live-action series

I don't think I know how to respond to that.

Spasmodic sobbing?

My response it to hope it's on opposite some show I want to watch, so as to lessen the chance of any schedule conflicts.

Oh, yay:

I think you mispelled "Oy vey" there.

Me, I threw up in my mouth a little.

I'm hoping something shiny distracts him long enough for them to hire someone else to write/direct.

If I'm in shock, someone should really bring me some hot tea.

And did we post about the stuntcasting in The OC yet?

George Lucas. . . as himself.

Also, I didn't know that "The Dresden Files" were in development for Scifi.

Was the particular virgin Greek Orthodox?

Actually, the chances were 50-50, because Yugoslavia is mixed. I think she did end up being Catholic, but don't remember, since we found a whole book on her. It was just the "Virgin of Methagorgeous" brain-to-computer translation that was problematic.

And in other "I found it for her" news, my mother just called me up because her google wasn't working. She says, Which Chandler was it that was friends with the poet Tish, and was depressed, and a drunk? Not Raymond Chandler. Wild googling and guessing on my part ensued, and it developed that she meant Raymond Carver. Luckily, I am a good guesser, because I've never read a word he's written.
