Ashen Remains of the Fallen
Today was a total comic book day. We stopped by Golden Apple and there was the last issue of Lords of Avalon and #10 of Angel: After the Fall. The
week after next is the start of Spike: After the Fall and I am so
excited for that. Even this issue of Angel was made more awesome by
it's Spike and Illyria value. Speaking of which, I have found old Angel
comics spotlighting Illyria that I want to look for. Illyria is just
too awesome. Quite possibly one of the top 3 best Whedon characters
EVER. I quoted her from this issue for my title today. Of course out of
context just makes it sound sort of demented in a regular person
demented kind of way and it's really, really funny in Illyria's way.
I'll spoil you and tell you that she is talking about it snowing and
it's just what she determines snowfall to be. Read the comic already
and trust me it's funny.
And LOA this week finished up the Sword of Darkness. I guess it's really kind of mamby-pamby and mushy but I liked it. It was very different from what I envisioned from the book. The Adoni were supposed to be these flesh-tasty warrior lovers and in the comic the come across as knights. Weird kinda. Also I kind of had the impression that Morgen was Barbie on PCP. I did still like seeing it. The artist wasn't my favorite, everyone is sinewy and too built. Like weightlifters, even Seren. She doesn't really come across in those frames as Kerrigan's little mouse. I will float the next book if it goes to comic life though. Knight of Darkness should be the next story. I should go over to her calendar and see if she has a time frame for it yet.

I saw the most wonderful news today. Apparently they are making a Dead Like Me movie!
David told me that they aren't having Laura Harris play Daisy Adair and that is a bit disappointing. But Callum Blue is going to be playing Mason and I think he might be one of my most favorite parts. Mandy Patinkin isn't playing Rube though, they are introducing a new character, Cameron Kane to be played by the guy who played Desmond on Lost. The trailer which I will hook you up with, looks pretty funny. I love the part with Mason when he meets Cameron and says he met his sister, Candy. Ahhh. I have missed watching this show and I own it so there is no real excuse.
Speaking of things that I have missed. I watched the last few episodes of X-Files Season

2 today and I LOVE David Duchovny. I have come to realize that the movie comes out while we are in San Diego for Comic Con. We don't generally do the night time activities so it shouldn't be a problem. I do hope that this movie isn't a huge disappointment. I am a little of the mind that this is a little too late. I think this movie should have come to be a few years ago... now, when both actors have had luke warm success as anything else, they are back to be Scully and Mulder. I'll try not to let the politics and bureaucracy get me down. But I think I might take some time tomorrow and watch me a slew of Season 3. As for why I have a little picture of Season 8, David found it on sale today at Best Buy for $17.00! I know... Season 8 isn't worth that much, but they were sold out of all the other seasons.
Why the Jake Gyllenhaal ode? Why not? I bought and watched The Day After Tomorrow this afternoon and I was just struck by how yummy this man is. I love the way he acts, kind of makes me want to go on a Netflix-Jake-Diet. I downloaded the pictures for my 'Pretty Things' folder and had to post them in here too.
I have been tickled tonight by the sneak peaks of the footage that will
be on the Penelope DVD of Twilight. I am so in Love with Robert
Pattinson. I really can't imagine any one else playing Edward now. And
the tidbits just make me want to see the movie more. I am hoping that
MTV will have the footage on Tuesday because the videos on YouTube
really suck. Well they are good enough for me too moon over Rob but not
good enough that I will post them here. I did update my banner from a
picture that Angdelia had posted on her LJ. I don't usually go for the manips but I really liked this one.
