Hm, maybe I should do the Joan monologue.
Angel: He is dead. Technically, he's undead. It's a zombie. Connor: What's a zombie? Angel: It's an undead thing. Connor: Like you? Angel: No, zombies are slow-moving, dimwitted things that crave human flesh. Connor: Like you. Angel: No! It's different. Trust me.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
You would *rock* Joan.
Unsurprisingly, I'm going for Peggy. Though I kind of want to do Pete's, too, because it's just a great little "I am a deeply fucked-up little prick and dimly aware of it" monologue, the kind of thing I'm uncomfortably good at.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'd say something reassuring about McKellen's participation denoting quality, but, well... X-Men 3: The Last Stand.
Strangely enough, AMC's involvement does reassure me after Mad Men. The passionate Christ on the other hand...

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yep, me too. Mainly, I just hope they completely reinvent it instead of trying to replicate the original series (which would be a disaster).

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yes, I cannot stand Jim Caviezel as an actor. He isn't very good and he chooses weird projects.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
MM discs came today; I have mainlined the first five eps in a row.
Lemme just say? When I declared it to be the prettiest show in teevee history, that was based on the low-quality TiVo recordings of the standard def cable feed. With network bugs and coming up next trailers and all that shit.
Oh. My. God.

Video audition:
Curses! Foiled by technology!
juliana met with me and coached me and very patiently directed me through like a billion wobbly takes of some of the monologues and threw them onto a DVD for me. Which my BIDs forced me not to even look at until just a little while ago. And, while it turns out that I'm less hideously unwatchable and unlistenable than I'd previously thought, it doesn't matter because absolutely nothing can be transferred from the DVD to my hard drive, or uploaded to the MM website, or, well, anything at all except played right here.
SO ANNOYED. I had to beat back a billion demons just to meet with juliana to do the damn thing, and now it doesn't suck, but it doesn't matter that it doesn't suck. DAMNIT.

Oh no, JZ! I'm be happy to troubleshoot (here or in the tech thread) if you want. If I knew how the DVD was authored I might be able to salvage the media. (My best guess right now is the program Juliana used to burn it automatically slapped on some kind of hideous copy-protection, which you can probably circumvent with something like Handbrake or MPEG Streamclip.)

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
I have no idea what the program was. It was just whatever was inside the camera. There's zero chance juliana is up, caffeinated and functional right now, but I'll ping her when she gets to work. I can't believe (a) it's fixable, and (b) it's an on-purpose thing built into the damn program.
