Things which are OF THE AWESOME  
  1. London IN THE SUN. :D :D :D

  2. Ironman. Thes first hour or so of the movie made me go "WTF, WHERE ARE THE SUPERHEROES?" But the rest of it was terrific fun in a very silly way.

  3. /film has posted 40 hi-res photos from The Dark Knight. IS THERE ANYTHING GREATER THAN HI RES PROMOS? I THINK NOT. Nothing majorly spoilery therein, as long as you've seen the trailer.


    Included in the above promos, William Fichtner will guest star. Fucking A! He's a terrific actor; I loved him in Invasion and Prison Break because he has such great presence on screen. I can't wait to see him on film. ♥

  4. Sam Anders, of Battlestar Galactica. I am still catching up on series 4, so I am avoiding the BSG fandom right now, but I feel the need to voice this (hugely unpopular) opinion: Kara/Lee are interesting when they're flirting, but they make ONE BORING ASS COUPLE. They're whiny and teeny and mushy, and they bring out the most irritating aspects of each other. Kara/Sam, on the other hand, are HOT. They're unpredictable and compelling, and they have great chemistry. Sam >>>> Lee. *runs away from angry fandom*

  5. Guess who's joining the cast for next season of Heroes? Bruce Boxleitner, of Babylon 5 fame. Yays! (Thanks to [info]maechi for the link. :D)

  6. I found a pair of Doctor Who-style Converse abandoned by my brother at home. YOINKED.

Du nah du nah du nah... BATMAN!  
I am SO VERY EXCITED about The Dark Knight, the new Batman movie. The posters look AWESOME and the new trailer is stunning.

If anyone wants to keep up to date with news about the movie, I've set up a feed of the spiffy Dark Knight Movie Chronicles blog at [info]thedarkknightmc.

Comic geekery  
I made the mistake of going into Forbidden Planet last week, and there are so many comics that I want!

I've been reading Formerly Known as the Justice League and I Can't Believe It's Not the Justice League recently, both of which are very amusing in a childish way. And this has reminded me of my epic love for Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, stars (ish) of the terrific 52 and The Omac Project. OMAC was my favorite comic of last year, but terribly sad. :( Damn you Maxwell Lord, you were a bastard and you got what was coming to you. Wonder Woman FTW.

But now DC are bringing Beetle back to life, hurrah! And he and Booster have their own series - Blue and Gold, the greatest heroes you've never heard of! This makes me happy, for surely they are the slashiest superhero team of all time - yes, even more so than Batman and Robin.

( Proof of THE EPIC LOVE OF BOOSTER AND BEETLE. )

I also very much want to read Angel: After the Fall, the continuation of the story of Angel set after season 5. I had a quick flick through the second single issue in the store, it looks as if each character has their own little spin off story. Spike's was appropriately decadent! I was rather confused to see that Wesley had his own story, as I'm pretty sure I remember him being dead. Hmm. The artwork looked ok but not great; the style was rather chunky and heavy, which suits Angel and Spike well but not the others.

There was Doctor Who issue #2 in store as well. To be honest, this is not a highly intellectual comic. But it does look fun! The artwork is very basic but highly stylized; I like it for the Doctor because David Tennant has such distinctive facial features, but it doesn't work so well for Martha.

( Sample from issue #1. )

And don't even get me started on the new Batman which I want to read...
