| Intimations of Apocalypse |
 by Fëanor |
Okay, here's my excuse this time for not posting for such a long time: busy at work + away at the shore for the weekend. Well, we're back from the shore now (it was pretty nice, btw), and I'm not quite as busy here at work for the next couple of minutes, so here's a nice bulleted list to slake your hideous unnatural thirst for blog postings:
- Via Cinematical, a trailer for an interesting film--The Aristocrats. No, it is not a live-action version of The Aristocats. Apparently, it's just a bunch of comedians telling and re-telling the same, long, incredibly raunchy joke. Sounds kind of boring, but the guy at Cinematical promises us it is not, and the trailer leads me to believe he may be right.
- I always thought this whole Scientology thing sounded a little creepy and kooky, but the more I learn about it, the creepier and kookier it seems. Check out this totally disturbing interview with Katie Holmes, and this little snippet on Keri Russel, both via Salon's gossip column, The Fix. Scientology is spreading quickly and turning everyone it touches into zombies, just like that game that Riker came back with from Risa on that one episode of "ST:TNG." (You know the one. Yes, you do. Admit it!!) That whole article on Katie Holmes is just so disturbing. She's got her Scientology "friend" attached at the hip, and just keeps repeating the same things over and over again--Tom is great, I love Tom, Tom is my God, I will defeat the evil space alien that lives inside my body. Well, okay, she doesn't say that last part, but apparently that's the kind of stuff these people actually believe!
- I watched a trailer for this movie The Descent a while ago, and thought it looked pretty creepy, but I wasn't really all that interested. I hadn't realized, however, until I read this article that the dude who wrote and directed it (Neil Marshall) also wrote and directed a fun little werewolf movie called Dog Soldiers that I caught via Netflix a while back. Now I'm more interested. Plus, I watched the trailer again, and it's freakier than I remembered. I particularly like the way it's presented on the site, embedded in a completely black background.
- This isn't really much of a news item, but Seth Green has said in an interview that he'd love to be in a Buffy feature film. That'd be awesome, but I don't see Joss being all that interested in making a Buffy movie, considering how badly he felt the original attempt went. As I understand it, he kind of lost control of the project, and fought a lot with Donald Sutherland. (No offense to Mr. Whedon, but I personally like the movie quite a bit.)
Then again, if Joss's "Firefly" movie, Serenity, goes well for him, maybe he'll be up for a new "Buffy" movie. As for me, I loved the show, and I loved Seth Green as Oz, so I think it would be great to see him back in a movie. I'm not sure what the movie would be about, though, or if it would be any good. I mean, "Buffy" was really pretty played out by the end there, and the last episode was pure crap. Still, you never know.
- I have two things to say about this article:
- That is an awesome picture, and
- in the words of the great Bart Simpson, "God, shmod, I want my monkey man!"
