sombrefanRobyn got her extended stay visa which is totally amazing good news.
Had bad dream about Dad last night which has unsettled me most of the morning.
Spike comic book didn't sell as well as I thought it would. Though there is apparently a "Spike and how camp he is" essay coming out soon.
The first Cyclon/Human war will get told but only in comic book form. So much for hoping to see it in flashbacks on Battlestar Galactica or on the Caprica spin-off. And the concept didn't come from Ron Moore but rather the writer of the comic book.
Torchwood draws even closer and closer. Hopefully it will be as good as the hype says it is.
Skyhigh is one of the best, most underrated movies I have ever seen. It is a fantastic film, I wish it had done better at the box office.
One of my students is a huge Buffy fan so that was like 10 minutes of teaching time lost to talking about the end of Angel.
I am going to make a special effort to see the new Bond movie in the cinema.

Date: 2006-10-18 01:11 pm (UTC)Hoping I am able to download Torchwood within a day or so of its airing.
I'm worried about the new Bond. I really wish the Broccoli family would take some more risks with the property. Several big stars and top-notch directors have expressed interest in doing Bond films (Spielberg among them) but the Broccolis don't want to lose any creative control. Unfortunately, this makes the movies not very distinctive of late.
And where's the "Spike is camp" essay going to be? Because he really, really is.

(The Sarah Jane episode just aired here, BTW. Fun.)

Did you see Davies' Casanova?
Date: 2006-10-18 08:10 pm (UTC)I found it flawed, but still quite enjoyable in places. The design was very good.
