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."
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?
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).
eta he's still pretty good looking! >[link]
His mother's name is Shirley Ann? Weird.
He's in the second season of Slings and Arrows, which led to a lot me going "Gilbert, NO!"

WUT.
I watched S&A! I did not see Gilbert Blythe!

OMG he's the guy who made the musical, isn't he? OMG.
Apropos of nothing, I'm seeing news stories about local libraries that are refusing to carry Fifty Shades of Gray.
I was travelling for work conference last weekend and my roommate, a self-confessed non-reader, mentioned that one of her dear friends (who apparently reads everything) entreated her to please, PLEASE give Fifty Shades of Grey a try. And asked my opinions on the topic. I had to bite my tongue hard not to repeat my friend B's mistake and blurt out "but there is so much better porn out there!" I guess I can't really say that without having read the damn thing.
On a different topic: has this article by Lev Grossman on Time been linked here before? [link] It's a very sensible rebuttal to that New Yorker article that stated how genre fiction is inherently inferior to litfic.
