ack! i stumbled up some Jean Grey rapes Nightcrawler 'erotic' fiction (i'm not gonna link to it. i was looking for updates of what was going on in the X-Universe. really). the author says "This story was inspired by the fact that Jean Grey is a slut, so I decided to make her act like one."

I know Jean had that little triangle thing with Scott and Wolverine, but that doesn't make her a slut, does it?
looky at this! little information more than the OMWF soundtrack insert, at least now we have a price. it's been added to my wishlist. "will be published in November 2002" is the key phrase though (and hey! <one ton anvil with the word 'Hint' engraved in the side begins to fall> it'll be published right around the time i'll be celebrating my birthday!).

though i don't know why i haven't mentioned anything about getting my copy, if you haven't picked up the OMWF soundtrack, you should. heck, Joss' liner notes make it worth the price*.

do i need to give you reasons to buy it? nah, you already know why, so if you haven't already done it, go get NOW!


* that may be a slight exaggeration. don't hold me to it, buy really, they are some of the best liner notes i've ever read.

a thunk-provoking analysis of "Beneath You," last night's episode of Buffy. it focuses on Buffy & Spike (mainly Spike) and the last scene (with transcript of that scene).
not Buffy related (though I may give it some thought and find a way to make it Buffy related): Should the 17th Amendment be repealed?
some of the points in the first half of "Buffy's Angels" I take issue with as being oversimplified. the second half, the half that deals with Spike, is much better.
The WB says that the premiere of Birds of Prey will run an extra 10 minutes.

sometimes, when i'm home alone, i like to take all my plush animals and set them about the room, then perform scenes from stage and film while pretending they're my co-stars.
according to MovieHole (take it for what it's worth):

Val Kilmer will be playing the role of John Holmes in Wonderland (i'm anxious to see if Val can measure up).

little Eddie Furlong won the lead for The Crow : Wicked Prayer.

"Mad Max 4" has been given the go ahead.
a couple of photos from the The Music Man television movie.
hooray! more new Buffy tonight!


update: all right, anyone who was worried about quality this season can now officially go f*** themselves. JM was incredible as a loon. he and SMG were perfect in that final scene.

watched this weekend:

Brotherhood of the Wolf. death, betrayal, swords, the supernatural, kick-ass fight scenes. excellent just for these bits alone, i reeeaaallly liked this one. French with subtitles, i swear they were calling him Prozac throughout the film.

The Devil's Backbone. death, betrayal, the supernatural, and scandal. no swords, but there is a good fight scene. i liked the sets and the way the film looked visually as a whole. Spanish with subtitles, this film is a good way to brush up on your foreign language profanity skills. One recap and review (meaning it be spoilery).

also watched the most recent installment in a series of comedy films: Jason X. no sudden make-you-jump scares, no suspense. lots of gore. the characters kindly set themselves up at the beginning of the film to let you know which would die. the android kicking ass was cool, and Jason killing the holo-camper-babes cracked me up, the rest of it is fairly forgettable. mostly. the scene in which the Thawed Chick went back, jeopardizing her life, and lives of Tech Geek and Valient Space Rescuer/Deus Ex Machina Candidate for rescue the head of Tech Geek's sexbot? kind of pissed me off. at the point, i began cheering for Mr. Voorhees. expectedly disappointing, i yearn for the time when Jason wasn't so much the invulnerable, immortal killing machine, and was just the creepy, waterlogged kid who returned from his aquatic grave to avenge his mother (and himself, i suppose).

How Big of a Buffy Fan Are You?

this result cracked me up though:
