And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I like Parke Godwin. I also enjoyed his take on the Robin Hood legend, although I don't recall the title.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

New Anne of Green Gables series on the CBC. [link] . It's going to be "set in a more modern era," which is giving me doubts. Anne really needs to be Victorian.

Sherwood.

Kind of replaying some of the historical themes of his Arthuran series. Liked it, but not nearly as much as Firelord and The Last Rainbow.

New Anne of Green Gables series on the CBC.

Oh, dear. Is it Kevin Sullivan again? He's been milking that franchise to death ever since the first miniseries. The second one was okay (if horribly uncanonical), and the third (and fourth!) were horrors.

And frankly, it's just not Green Gables without Colleen Dewhurst.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, HELL no.

Apparently it's not Kevin Sullivan. Some other shop called Breakthrough Productions. The CBC story doesn't have any other information, but obviously we won't be seeing Megan Follows. Pity, that.

I did track her down on IMDB: she was apparently a regular on Brothers & Sisters when it was on.

I just read "The Selection", which is so very Now. Post-massive-wars dystopia, where our plucky heroine is chosen to be one of the women vying for the prince's hand, a la the Bachelor! It was actually just fine as these books go, I enjoy them....but while it is labelled #1 and I knew there'd be sequels, I didn't expect it to end only halfway through the process, rather abruptly! Wtf?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Wow, that picture of Anne and Gilbert is giving me ALL THE FEELS, as the kids say these days.

I was a teenager living in eastern Canada during the 80's. I watched and rewatched that miniseries every time it was rerun. Which was often. I cannot imagine how they'd improve upon that.

Me either. The casting for that was just perfect.

Whatever happened to the boy who played Gilbert, anyway? He was a Premier's son, IIRC.

I think I just realized that my predilection for boys with high cheekbones and almond-shaped eyes started pretty early (see also: Jared Padalecki).
