I tried to watch Sands, I really did. And I'm first in line to have Victor's babies, but damn if I could buy any of the effects. That Horus-thing really wasn't scary, and too much shadow-puppet death for me.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I watched random moments because of he W&P last night, and set my DVR to tape the later re-broadcast, but I deleted it today (without rewatching a moment of it) with a "what the HELL was I thinking?!?!?!?"
If there had been a snarky janitor and two robots in the front row cracking wise I would have been all over it, but it's kinda hard to read a W&P while watching a movie (especially since the TV and computer are in rooms at opposite ends of the apartment).

Okay, I read the W&P and I feel quite complete. Victor, call me. Or! Get a gig on Eureka.
I have discovered that being 2 degrees from Mr. Webster in 2 ways is more annoying than being a gazillion. Especially since I passed up the opportunity to introduce myself to him based on at least one of those connections.
Still, not watching the whole movie. Onto Kill Point instead.
While I was bedridden in front of a limited selection of TV, my saviour was Discovery Channel--which does cheesy movies! Okay, at least one. They had a normal show about the idea of weather control, and then a Sci Fi Channel-looking production about weather control gone amok that sets a hurricane on NYC.
Cheesy goodness, all hiding up there on the cable box dial.
Then I came home and forgot all about it.
Okay, due where due's due--the premise for Sands of Oblivion was kinda cool. I mean the whole "Arnie says y'all need to keep going" and "We're training the students by digging up fake Egyptology just up the street" thingummies.
Quite a creative way to do a homegrown Mummy.
Shame about the rest of it.

You really might want to check out the scene (very near the end) where Victor battles the cartoons, though. It is good fun.

I'll keep it around, then.

De Mille really did kind of bury a leftover ginormous Ten Commandments set in the desert, and it was rediscovered a couple years ago, IIRC.
Loved Dan Castellanata as C.B. -- now that's the movie I would have liked to have seen, figuring out how to fight the evil god, et cetera. Oh well.

rewatching last weeks Eureka, and, I just wanna say, Salli's wardrobe and hair is fabulous.

Oh, yeah! I meant to say that Salli's hair is fantastic this season. Love.

I want her white shirt from last ep. And her power-walk.
