Interview with Nikki Clyne - I didn't find it spoilery although she did mention in vague generalities somethings that might happen with her character.

SciFi's next original monster movie features a monster made out of animated rocks that's basically identical to the one in Galaxy Quest.

Awesome!

But where's Aztec Dinosaur, or whatever they named the movie about conquistadors and T-Rex? (It's written by a couple of the Farscape writers, which is why I'm interested.)

It's supposed to return in the fall, Fay. It actually got pretty good ratings for something so deeply offbeat.

Yay! I loved it very much! I was trying to think of what the word was for its style and aesthetic, and I was coming up blank - because it's clearly NOT goth, not at all - and yet it shares the fairytale, fantastical and whimsical elements, very Series of Unfortunate Events. (Or perhaps more The Littlest Elf, or whatever that cheery movie was...) But the visual aesthetic - hell, AND the narrative style for that matter - is more like something from a musical, isn't it? With all those lush colours and what have you.

I mean, yes, Amelie, obviously - but is there any better label I can assign it, to explain it? I feel that there should be something that evokes this whimsicality and cheerfulness.

Oh! And did you all catch Anna Friel's normal voice on the voiceover for the Dandylion Car advert? That was fun!

ion, I heart all the characters. I especially love the Olive/Chuck friendship. (And I vaguely want to read Ned/Vivian, and indeed Chuck/Olive Olive/Ned. Um. Although I do feel rather guilty about this. But - yeah.)

Talking to Nora on the train this morning about the most recent US Torchwood, I realized that it doesn't say much about Jack's life experience that Owen divesting himself of his Guiness is the MOST disgusting thing he's ever seen.

Also, WTF is up with the Senior Partner-esque little girl wielding Tarot at the beginning of the ep?

From the whitefont upthread: the MOTW stuff was pretty, well, lameass, as I feel it usually is. But the potential for the season long arc stuff (OMG, a member of the innter circle has gone evil! Where have I seen that before?) and the acting and the pretty are all still well and good.

Also, WTF is up with the Senior Partner-esque little girl wielding Tarot at the beginning of the ep?

As I said, Nora, Wolfram and Hart must have a Cardiff branch.

Well, if there is a rift AND a Hellmouth -of course they have a Cardiff branch.

Now, TW has an Immortal AND an undead person.

Also, Tivo recorded a TCM documentary called "Watch the Skies" about 1950s scifi movies that was really fun. They interviewed Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Ridley Scott and James Cameron and had clips from all sorts of 1950s B movies. .. the actual forefathers of the Sciffy original movies.

So, Owen is more like a "Death Becomes Her" undead rather than a vampire or zombie undead.

I wonder if they are going to do a Pinocchio?

It's not just his nose that grows?
