OMGOMGOMG.
In case anyone missed it when it aired (likely, because SciFi did exactly zero promotion, from what I can tell), go to SciFi.com NOW and watch the pilot of The Amazing Screw-on Head and then take the survey and tell them to make more!
Reasons to watch this show:
- based on a comic by Mike Mignola
- produced for TV by Bryan Fuller
- Amazing Screw-on Head is voiced by Paul Giamatti
- Emperor Zombie voiced by David-Hyde Pierce
- Steampunk, wheeeeee!!!
- Emperor Zombie has vampire minions
- Has characters named Amazing Screw-on Head and Emperor Zombie
- who have a deep and entangled past
- contains oodles of Whedon-like snark in the form of exchanges like:
Emperor Zombie: You went on an on about how sweet the candy was, and then told me not to put it in my mouth, and got mad at me when I did!
Screw-on Head: If by "candy" you mean "ancient forbidden evil," then yes, I told you not to put it in your mouth!
And so on. You can watch the whole thing free online, and then there's a survey where you can tell them how much you liked it and please please please make more. Go! Watch!
I just happened to catch it when it aired, but I was only watching it as background, and even so, it cracked me up. But I'll go watch again and take the survey, because I would love to see more of it.
Owen's current favorite game is SLAM THE DOORS REALLY LOUDLY
Hee! I mean, I hated that game.
(and also Hee!)
I'm still watching that COLBERT REPORT kid. Reposted for anyone who missed it: [link]
How does that not have five stars? That's almost enough of an injustice to make me register at YouTube, just to up the rating.
My plan to be all virtuous this morning has been derailed by a migraine and cramps. Bleagh. I did get to Target before the headache hit and am doing laundry right now, so it isn't a total lamefest.
Poor Robin. I hope they go away soon.
I'm about to take my dog to the vet.
There's a good chance he won't come back. (His kidneys are failing, he won't eat anything, and everything he's eaten in the last 3 days he's vomited up.)
I am, oddly, not weepy. He's been ailing gradually for the last year, so I've had lots of time to prepare for this. And he's 15, so it's not like he didn't get a good long life.
But it's sad.
Later.
Oh, Consuela, I'm so sorry. Let me know if you want to go do something mindless/distracting tomorrow.
Sending warm thoughts and Peace your way Consuela
