Fannish Items of Interest (Plus Memes)
Feb. 25th, 2012 12:02 pmPeter Halliday has passed away at the age of 87. May he rest in peace. He was in 23 episodes of Doctor Who, and had roles in The Avengers, The Saint, and several other shows. I remember that he also played a psychiatrist in the Vincent Price movie Madhouse.
The 20 Most Beautiful Bookstores In The World.
Thanks to the Ghostbusters PDF ebook Preservation Project, you can now download a copy of Ghostbusters: The Return. I’m lucky enough to have found a physical copy of that rare novel when it was first published, and will confirm it’s worth reading.
New set photos from Star Trek 2, involving a scene between Benedict Cumberbatch, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldana.
Weekend Discussion Thread: Great Scenery-Chewers In MSTed Movies.
Topless Robot’s latest contest: Describe what you would consider Nerd Heaven or Nerd Hell. For Heaven, I came up with this scenario: Ghostbusters 3 gets made using the script where they all went to Hell (which was in Development Hell for a long time), all actors return, it doesn't implode horrifically, Ivan Reitman produces, and Christopher Nolan gives his input to keep things in check. So it can be as dark and scary as need be, with some good comedy that doesn’t veer into Adam Sandler territory by mistake. Liam Neeson as the villain. That, or Neil Gaiman taking over Doctor Who after Moffat.
Now, a meme—I’m just spreading it along. I’m not into music and wouldn’t know of anything for a response.
Comment with a song that makes you think of me, and I will return the favor!
And answering this one again:
Tell me you want to play and I'll pick up to three of your fandoms. Then update your journal and answer the following questions:
1. What got you into this fandom in the first place?
2. Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
3. Favorite episodes/books/movies, etc?
4. Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
5. Do you think more people should get into this fandom?
( Answering these questions for the following fandoms: The Librarian, Ghostbusters, Dark Shadows, Sherlock, Torchwood, and Highlander. Cut due to length. )

Release The Dragons
Feb. 25th, 2012 01:07 pmI'm sending those dragon v-gifts to as many people on my LJ friends list as I can. As I understand it, you're only supposed to be able to send 6. I've sent a little over 20 at last count. I'm hoping recipients end up with the benefit of getting a paid account or time added on to one already existing with it, which I've heard has happened in a few cases.
