A V for Vendetta movie? With Hugo Weaving Natalie Portman (and, in a lesser role, Stephen Fry)?? And with a trailer that makes it look like it stands a chance of not sucking???
...wow.
I'd heard about the Watchmen movie, which was also reported to maybe not suck, but it's since dissapeared from imdb whereas this one got completely under my radar.
/me needs to go re-read V now.
Other movie-type things that I missed.
DOOM! Wow, that one got me excited... until it turned out to be a movie version of Doom3 starring The Rock. Hello? Hollywood?? If it doesn't involve funky helmets and green spandex it aint Doom!
...and apparently there is now a Global Frequency TV series with Warren Ellis listed for writing credits. I'm not surprised I missed this one since I never followed the comics, but if the show's any good perhaps I should put GF higher on my to-read list. Anyone seen it (
heiligekuh and
jodisays, I'm looking at you)?
Sorry for the complete lack of meaningful postings lately, I'm doing a bunch of stuff with Red Hat right now and am currently in deadline-hell. That plus the move and all has really kept me busy since I left CA. Special appologies to those of you I said I'd get back in touch with but never did. =:\
Oh, and I made a new icon. It makes me happy. I anticipate maybe three people getting it, but I hope it cases them pain. =:)
