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Buffy related (though I may give it some thought and find a way to make it Buffy related): Should the 17th Amendment be repealed?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.

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.

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).

Joss talks about the OMWF soundtrack [contains SPOILER in last (two?) paragraph(s)];
Amazon.com says the Buffy season three DVD set will be available January 7. (yippie!)

"New Line Cinema will premiere the new trailer for its upcoming sequel film The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on America Online at 12:01 a.m. Sept. 30. The trailer will then move to the official Web site. Two Towers opens Dec. 18." [source: SciFi Wire sidebar]
i don't understand this. is this supposed to be some sort of "bonus" AOL gives it's customers? "Join AOL and get exclusive looks at movie trailers a few minutes before they're available to the general public!" will people be bragging about it? "I got to see LotR:T^3 trailer five minutes before you did!"
<chime> You've got Lame!

my employer will be passing out pledge cards for the Tulsa Area United Way. reading the accompanying email, it occurs to me that every year, they say the same thing: the United Way needs your assistance more than ever!
if year after year it's always a more than ever! thing, doesn't that mean that world keep getting worse and worse? who needs a Doomsday Clock? there's the perfect Hell In a Handbasket Indicator.
for the record, i already knew the world was going to shit:
Moviehole reports that an insider at Paramount Pictures has confirmed that John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John are indeed in talks to reprise their roles of Danny and Sandy for an update of "Grease". The story follows all the original film's stars who'll we'll be catching up with years later and finding out what's going on in their lives post high school. Stockard Channing is apparently going to reprise Rizzo. Randal Kleiser, the original director, is rumoured to be handling the new one.

Fun With Referrals (or, Skip This Post):
wtf? i mean, i know why it comes here. i just don't understand the search.

hooray! i've been useful to someone!
kinky or in need of therapy?

oh look! my employer Posts Early Loss of $954 Million.
All this finance stuff tends to go over my head a little. Anyone want to read up on this then let me know if I'll still have a job come year end?

a quick five-question Q&A with James B. South, associate professor of philosophy at Marquette University: Buffy has more to teach than just killing vampires
i should do better with attribution. this link and the one immediately above are from Slayage.com, which is a great source for BtVS (and other Joss creations, plus any news about the cast and crew of the shows) related news. they're kind enough to put a (SPOILERS) notice with each link that needs it.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Theologian of the Year.
an interesting read with some good points and interpretations here, though at times it felt a little like the fict-facts were being a little manipulated to make a point or to stay within the thesis.
