Hilarious fanvid rec! Spike’s journey of redeption to I Can Change from the South Park movie, by the same girl that beat me to vidding a Spangel “The More You Ruv Someone.” :D

And dude! A handful of theatres (none near me, alas) are planning additional Serenity screenings.

For Katie Holmes’ birthday, Tom Cruise got her a collection of all of his movies on DVD. How very Gilderoy Lockhart of the man!

Also? BEST COMMERCIAL EVER.

Question for the Whovians: So the new Doctor Who is finally airing in the US, on the Sci-Fi Channel. Hurrah! And presumably, judging from the choice of Doctors in their layouts, we’re going to be getting new episodes. Are they going to air all of the last season before going on to the new season, or starting with the new season, or some other bizarre permutation? Is there going to be a delay between the UK airdates and the US?

Flubbed a bit on the singing portion, but I feel I did quite well on the acting portion and when they tested my range. I’ll find out if I made callbacks Friday after midnight!

*snorks* My Crime Cinema professor’s accent cracks me up. He’s very French, but he tries to speak with an “American” accent, overemphasizing his R’s. The first day of class, I couldn’t help but hear Spike’s “I’m a friend of Xandurr’s” whenever he spoke.

Today, he spoke about the French silent film Les Vampires. He said “Vampires” the American way, with the long “i” sound, but instead of emphasizing the first syllable, he emphasized the second, which to my fandom-addled brain reminded me of Andrew. The greatest moment was when he made reference to “Irma Vep, leader of… The Vampires” in exactly the same intonation Andrew introduced “Buffy, slayer of… the Vampires” in “Storyteller.” I’m too easily amused, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

And now, off to get ready for Little Shop of Horrors auditions! Bwee!

Wow, how psychological of me! I was being all petulant and frustrated about being deprived of My Shows, with the news about The Inside and the fact that last night’s Lost episode wasn’t up on iTunes until this morning. Even though I’d been so disenchanted with the show, my desire to watch the show to spite The Man was even greater. As a result, once I finally got to see it, I enjoyed it a great deal more than I probably would have in a different frame of mind. I am such a tool. XD

Thoughts:

First, Mr. Clean Locke wins for his “Who are we to tell anyone what they can or can’t do?” comment. THANK YOU FOR SAYING TO JACK WHAT NEEDED TO BE SAID. Not your show, Jack! You were supposed to be killed off in the Pilot!

Second, Jin/Sun (or maybe Jin/Sun/Hat) is SO my Lost OTP, pending Hurley/Whatserface. Charlie, stop being a moron and I’ll give you a second chance.

Lastly, the folks on TWOP are calling for a ninja army. Mwaha!

In other news, I’m looking at DVD Recorders, rather than a VCR. Does anyone have experience with them? How important is it to get one with a hard drive?

I’m not even going to ask. I’m just going to bask in the WHA?

*dances around the room in silent rage*

UK channel ITV4 starts showing Minear’s The Inside this Friday. Unaired episodes I’ve been waiting for half a year to see. But as I don’t live in Jolly Old England, Fox has said that there’s no chance of it going to DVD, and there’s no way it’s going to be available on iTunes, I’ll be Inside-less.

No Adam Baldwin, no Katie Finneran, no Peter Coyote. No amusing appearances by other Minear vets. No twisted psychological content, gratuitous gore, or dark humor. Also, I totally forgot Lost was on tonight. A world without BitTorrent is a world that SUCKS.

No new VM tonight. Woe! Ah well, there is a new Lost, and I guess this makes one more week before I start having to buy Lost off iTunes so that I can watch both.

Does anyone have any experience with downloading TV shows legally from iTunes? How much does the resolution suck? How soon are new episodes up after they air?
